Tommy Fury 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.

Tommy Fury’s tendency to introversion inclines him to live inside himself, amid his inner world. He is apt to listen to his subjectivity, his intuition, and his secret opinions rather than reason and logic.

Tommy Fury’s 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.

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

Thought, intuition, and inner perceptions predominate in Tommy Fury’s psyche. Open and curious, optimistic and enthusiastic, Tommy is eager to participate in everything happening around him.

Tommy’s affections are 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, Tommy never allows himself to be overcome by outer realities or emotions. In its most exaggerated form, Tommy’s buoyancy borders on indifference.

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

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

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

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