Alev Aydin 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.

Alev Aydin is relatively extroverted, leading a life which is open to the outside world. Her personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. She is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Alev Aydin 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.

Alev Aydin struggles between two fundamentally opposite psychological tendencies. In her case, emotional and dynamic functions predominate over mental adaptations to the reality principle and practical capacities. She is propelled by dynamism and idealism on one hand, while endowed with emotionalism and sensitivity on the other. The resulting personality is passionate and fiery, excitable and impulsive, while greatly engaged with others and receptive to their overtures. If she encounters problems in life, their source can often be traced to a lack of reality and reflection.

Alev Aydin struggles to get into harmony with the physical world and the restrictions it places on her. She is idealistic and detached from practical considerations, and barely pays attention to material things like food, money, her surroundings, and so on. She is footloose and fancy-free, oblivious to the necessities of survival in the physical world, until her lack of material resources becomes an emergency. This feeling of being out of touch with material things and the physical dimension of reality may sometimes lead her to see herself as unfit for this world. She may think she cannot attach herself to anything that would sustain her efforts at self-expression. However, her impractical nature offers many positive aspects. She sees life’s possibilities as limitless. She is apt to develop her imagination or pursue a spiritual quest to transcend the material world.

Although you may not necessarily notice the fact about yourself because you are so strongly engaged in actions, feelings, or material concerns, you sometimes lack sound judgment. This impairment arises from a difficulty in obtaining perspective on yourself and your life. You may be puzzled by your troubled relations with others. You must make an effort to detach yourself from your personal reaction and observe it from an objective, more distant standpoint. If not, you are likely to find yourself under stress or pressure because you did not give enough prior thought to tactics and strategy. You may also experience dissatisfaction in your intimate relationships because you might struggle to get in sync with others. You give little time or respect to anyone you see as too “intellectual,” because you resist adapting to new ideas and viewpoints. In fact, an idea that rubs you the wrong way mentally and/or emotionally may elicit an explosive reaction. Self-analysis can be challenging for you and you tend to refuse to develop a solid, permanent idea of yourself – and this plays a lot of tricks on you.
