Brittany O’Grady 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.

Brittany O’Grady is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. Her commitments to other people are of paramount importance to her personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for her to make decisions alone. If she wants to achieve inner equilibrium, she must behave in such a way that her actions yield benefits to others as well as herself.

Brittany O’Grady is attracted to interpersonal activities, but her significant need for inner security may stand in the way of her overtures to others. Since she is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, she seeks tight bonds with others. She unconsciously needs their psychological support in her quest for herself. Were she to evaluate her psychological development, she would place more value upon human warmth, intimacy, and the need to share than on intellectual understanding or personal freedom of expression.

Brittany O’Grady is ambitious and has a natural tendency to better herself socially and intellectually. Her ideas and aspirations are grandiose, and she will be eager to share them with others. Although she is kind-hearted, she enjoys being in control of situations. She derives great fulfillment from the role of the protector and will surround herself with people who need her. She is eager to obtain recognition and honor, but extremely fearful of disgrace. Her visions derive from her ambitions, often aglow with idealism. However, they may be somewhat unrealistic and impractical. Social recognition and esteem are essential to her, and she will demonstrate an amazing ability to achieve the high goals she sets for herself.

Brittany O’Grady is a realist. She approaches life pragmatically and even her feelings are based on rational, tangible evidence. She bases her judgements on past experience and is prone to skepticism. A hard worker, she takes pride in her own endeavors and has a personal concept of her productivity. Her possessions help her assert herself as an individual and act as an antidote to any feelings of insecurity. As a result, material accomplishments may preoccupy her more than either love as a passion or intellectual or philosophical considerations. Nevertheless, she becomes attached to anything which offers her certainty.

You work harder than others to understand other people’s feelings. But this seeming lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors your own difficulty in understanding your own feelings and emotional needs. You are not insensitive, but you are baffled by your own emotions. You see the emotional world as a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, you may appear to be hard or aloof. You might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as you seek special individuals to bond with. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. You might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although you offer conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure you out of your emotional bubble, you are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because your loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
