Barbara Steele experiences her inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by her involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Barbara Steele led a life which was open to the outside world. Her personal consciousness was forged by the heat of outer events. She was inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

For Barbara Steele, social involvement is something that comes easily to her, as it allows her to identify with an activity with social implications and to know herself through it. She is likely to become personally involved in social affairs, but she always tries to maintain her individual identity by leading the project herself according to her own individual direction.

Barbara Steele feels that she needs to assert her originality. She is individualistic and independent and lives life according to her own rules. People and things matter to her only insofar as they relate to her, and she ignores or disregard any annoyances she may encounter. Her passions are lively and ardent, and she truly loves to give. She is endowed with great authenticity and can be quite generous, as long as she is aware that others admire her.

Although you may not necessarily notice the fact about yourself because you are so strongly engaged in actions, feelings, or material concerns, you sometimes lack sound judgment. This impairment arises from a difficulty in obtaining perspective on yourself and your life. You may be puzzled by your troubled relations with others. You must make an effort to detach yourself from your personal reaction and observe it from an objective, more distant standpoint. If not, you are likely to find yourself under stress or pressure because you did not give enough prior thought to tactics and strategy. You may also experience dissatisfaction in your intimate relationships because you might struggle to get in sync with others. You give little time or respect to anyone you see as too “intellectual,” because you resist adapting to new ideas and viewpoints. In fact, an idea that rubs you the wrong way mentally and/or emotionally may elicit an explosive reaction. Self-analysis can be challenging for you and you tend to refuse to develop a solid, permanent idea of yourself – and this plays a lot of tricks on you.
