Barbara Bain is a serious, steadfast individual who tries to stay grounded. Her ambitions are strong, and she will always be seeking a higher social position. She sometimes adopts a strategy of solitude and introversion.

Barbara Bain has a paternal complex. Because of this, she had trouble finding her identity as a child. Her father or a father figure may have been absent physically or emotionally, which deprived her of the patterns and models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because she lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, she was forced to protect herself against negative influences and find her own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to her as a child, it has now settled into a degree where it interferes with her evolution. Psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber her mind or inhibit her developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for her to assert herself and she tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because her authoritarian urges are mainly directed at herself rather than others, she sometimes feels guilty about her behavior. She judges herself severely and sometimes punishes herself by setting difficult tasks for herself. Gradually, she should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Barbara Bain is affectionate by nature, and love plays a decisive and central role in her life. She is a charmer who needs to love and be loved. Aware of her personal magnetism and the power it gives her, she will make subtle changes in herself in order to attract positive attention. She is sophisticated and pleased to savor a lifestyle she sees as a consummate art.

Barbara Bain

Barbara Bain has insecurities which can make her crave order in her life and to prefer to do things according to a predetermined plan. Unfortunately, because her logic and vision tend to be somewhat short-sighted, it requires a great effort for her to adapt to a situation. She is rigid, might struggle to make friends easily, and is sometimes wary of relations with those she is most attracted to. Barbara is a gifted worrywart.

You are an individualist who believes in freedom and independence as your most basic values. You have rejected the conventional lifestyle and social class you were born into and have embraced an innovative lifestyle. Your convictions can sometimes be difficult to live with, as you are an uncompromising partner. You must learn to recognize your own limitations and accept the responsibilities you have to other people. If you do not do this, you are likely to be embroiled in conflicts with others. The roots of your behavior may be found in your relationship with your father or teachers when you were younger. For some reason, you may have rejected the paternal image or refused to identify with your father, in the same way you are rejecting conventional values now. In every important life decision you make, you have to rely on yourself to develop the appropriate behavior and impose limits on your desires.

Barbara Bain generally tends to be motivated by activities which apply to social needs. She tends to give the best of herself in difficult situations which require crucial choices.

Barbara Bain is optimistic and happy to be alive. She is cheerful, expansive, and pleasant to have as an associate. She is extremely generous (sometimes to a fault!) and gives of herself and her belongings unstintingly. This positive psychological outlook is the result of a happy childhood and especially an extremely beneficial maternal influence in infancy. Barbara Bain is quite likely to be a professional success; her vision of the world is perfectly adapted to prevailing opinion, and her urges and desires for personal expansion usually elicit a positive reaction from society. By old age, her good reputation and prominence may have earned her fame.

Although you maintain a cool demeanor, beneath this exterior you are extremely sensitive. Sometimes your rather austere and rigid behavior and refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. You have spells of melancholy in which you do not feel worthy of being loved and often have trouble permitting yourself emotional fulfillment. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for your inner self to be detached from this past life, and you sometimes have trouble reconciling the image you have of yourself as an adult with the one you acquired back then. The idea you have of yourself as an individual is related to the image your parents projected onto you as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and you are now an adult. It should be easy for you to rid yourself of these phantoms through self-work. You have the ability to overcome your mistakes and great endurance and will power to achieve your goals. However, you must not repress your sensitivity in order to succeed.

Barbara Bain often encounters friction with others. Her vision of others is often clouded by feelings of insecurity, and her need to obtain acceptance at any cost may sometimes drive her to make too many concessions or compromises.

You are fiercely independent and fiercely protective of your independence. Although you value freedom, self-sufficiency, and independence, you are sometimes frustrated by your need to rely on your family or friends. Moreover, you do not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as your own. Likewise, you can be angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if you feared that it would doom you to eternal dependency. Your ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to the relationship you had with your mother or a mother figure. Although you were dependent on them, they may have rejected you. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which your sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off your feelings of dependency, you sometimes tend to become destructive. Based on denial, your reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

In matters of the heart, Barbara Bain is fairly shy, reserved, and discreet. Even in intimacy, she remains modest and does not always readily express her feelings. She’s sensitive and giving, wishing to be of service to those she loves. She would do well to trust that she deserves to be made as happy as she makes her partners.

Barbara Bain is hesitant and timid when it comes to affairs of the heart. She doesn’t know which partner to choose or when she should settle down. Particularly drawn to people who are (too) attractive or (too) sophisticated and who are not really suited to her, Barbara is likely to be disappointed. But if she does marry one of these people, she will be completely devoted to them and will stand by them come what may.

Cautious and reserved, you are sometimes unwilling to open yourself to others if you are not sure of being accepted. You will always hang back somewhat from your emotional urges, parceling out your expressions of affection, because you have learned – sometimes at your expense – that even the most harmonious relationships require some compromise. For you, “good fences make good neighbors,” and well-marked boundaries can prevent future suffering. Thus, even when you are in love, you remain fairly circumspect. When you find yourself attracted to a partner, you privately engage in a careful analysis of their personality and life story, endeavoring to know them profoundly, to see whether you are likely to be able to share your life and future with them. As a result of your sensitivity, you have a profound affinity for all of the arts. Music, literature, painting, and graphic arts are likely to enrich your existence and make it pleasant. You could progress in any career in which balance, order, and practicality predominate.

Barbara Bain is an extremely complex individual, full of contradictions. Because Barbara sometimes feels vulnerable emotionally, she tries to control not only her own feelings and urges, but may also strive to manipulate those of her partners. Barbara aspires to profound and enduring spiritual unity, but at the same time, the idea of abandoning oneself and yielding to the other terrifies her. This anguish may be a source of rather extreme behavior patterns and a somewhat self-focused attitude which could damage the relationship. Because Barbara is guarded and somewhat secretive, she tends to be suspicious and is especially uneasy about spontaneous intimacy, although she is fascinated by sexuality. Within the privacy of the couple, Barbara will not express her feelings unless she is subject to some tension. Life may be peppered with frequent crises and feuds, arguments and spats which usually act as erotic provocation. This derivation of eroticism from anxiety tends to be one of the fundamental characteristics of Barbara’s emotional and sexual functioning. As a result, Barbara is likely to be attracted by stormy and complicated relationships.

Barbara Bain’s intellectual faculties and wit are sometimes slowed down because she is turned inward. Because she tends to be oriented toward herself, she rarely tries to communicate with others for the simple pleasure of doing so. Indeed, she sometimes feels misunderstood. Moreover, it seems difficult for her to express the complexity of her inner perceptions.
