Shawn Mendes 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.

Because Shawn Mendes tends to be centered on himself and his own personal development, he may not necessarily seek contact with others. He tends to be reluctant to team up with other people in any way. An individualist, he attempts to free himself from any outside influence; in fact, he is eager to leave his personal imprint on the world around him. Often, due to his lack of perspective in relation to other people, he rebuffs their help and cooperation on projects. It is only by working and acting independently that he can accomplish his goals and ambitions.

Shawn Mendes’ uppermost concern is his personal, subjective interest. Because the development of his personal identity requires great individual freedom of action, he tries to free himself from outer restraints and limitations. Psychologically self-centered, he remains fairly detached from the social world. He reduces such commitments to the strict minimum. Individualistic and egocentric, he derives his feelings of inner security from his ability to command his will and handle his personal involvements freely and openly.

Shawn has a tendency to identify with others. He forms friendships easily and naturally and enjoys participating in other people’s lives. Sociable, he enjoys being seen and appreciate popularity and recognition. Solitude bores him. His life and personal relations are in sync with his friendships and outer events. Most often, he shares the opinion of others.

The numerous contradictions and tensions which are a recurrent feature of Shawn’s astral theme balance each other out and endow him with a stable, well-tempered character. Indeed, they are especially likely to protect him from unsolvable frustrations and, in terms of reality, will enable him to acquire a certain social and professional success without too much effort on his part. At that point, Shawn must be careful not to take on too many responsibilities. His confidence in his ability to accomplish things may make him spread himself too thin.
