Billie Joe Armstrong experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Billie Joe Armstrong is relatively extroverted, and leads a life which is open to the outside world. His personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. He is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Billie Joe Armstrong contributed to social causes and collective ideals, but he resisted any project he would be unable to lead himself, according to his own individual direction. He identified himself with an activity with social implications and attempted to know himself through this activity.

Billie Joe Armstrong thought, intuition, and inner perceptions predominated in his psyche. Open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, he was eager to participate in everything happening around him. His affections were lively and spontaneous, but may be more intellectual than sensual. In a partner, he would seek a source of mutual spiritual or artistic inspiration. Light-hearted and perhaps even fickle, he never allowed himself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, his buoyancy borders on indifference.

Billie Joe Armstrong struggles to understand his own emotions and the emotions of others. He sees the emotional world as a foreign territory and is not very good at understanding the emotions of others. If he were able to accept and understand his own emotions, he would have an easier time grappling with the emotions of others. He has a strong desire for emotional independence and might have trouble seeing the emotional needs of other people. He might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, his dependency on others is unconscious.
