Harry Michael 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.

Harry Michael tries to avoid contact with others because he is an individualist and he wants to free himself from any outside influence. He often gets rejected by other people because he doesn’t understand how they think or what their motives are. Only when he does things on his own does he feel like he is making progress.

For Harry Michael, social involvement is something that he does for the good of others, not for himself. Although he can become personally involved in social affairs, he resists any project he will not be able to lead himself. He identifies himself with an activity that has social implications and tries to know himself through this activity.

Harry Michael has a dynamic, mind-oriented personality. His attitudes in life are spontaneous and direct; usually, they enhance his personal aura. A fiery idealist, he has a tendency to approach life a bit too idealistically. He may go from disillusionment to disillusionment without ever reflecting on his ways. Once he investigates his deeper needs and the limitations imposed by reality, he can achieve true stability after much work.

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.
