Griffin Johnson’s psyche follows an introverted flow. He knows himself and attempts to develop his inner resources to their maximum potential.

Because Griffin Johnson is a social being oriented toward other people, his personal interests often mingle with those of his associates or those of the group to which he belongs. He is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. His commitments to other people are of paramount importance to his personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for him to make decisions alone. If he wants to achieve inner equilibrium, he must behave in such a way that his actions yield benefits to others as well as himself.

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

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

Griffin Johnson works harder than others to understand other people’s feelings. But this seeming lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors Griffin’s own difficulty in understanding their own feelings and emotional needs. Griffin is not insensitive, but is baffled by their own emotions. They 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, Griffin may appear to be hard or aloof.

Griffin might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as they seek special individuals to bond with. If Griffin were able to accept and understand their own emotions, they would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings.

Griffin has a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. Griffin might even be the first to deny that such needs are real.

As a result, their dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although Griffin offers conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure them out of their emotional bubble, they are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because their loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
