Alexander Van der Bellen 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.

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

Alexander Van der Bellen is attracted to interpersonal activities, but his significant need for inner security may stand in the way of his overtures to others. Since he is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, he seeks tight bonds with others. He unconsciously needs their psychological support in his quest for himself. Were he 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.

Alexander Van der Bellen 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.

You find it difficult to understand others’ feelings. You don’t understand your own emotions very well, and it’s difficult for you to get close to others. You see emotions as a foreign territory, full of potential dangers. If you could become more familiar with emotions, it might be less advantageous. You might struggle to build meaningful relationships because you’re hesitant to share your feelings. You have a strong need for emotional independence, and might be resistant to seeing other people’s emotional needs. You might even be the first to deny that someone else’s feelings are real. This resistance is unconscious and it’s kept hidden. However, because it’s so threatening, it’s repressed. You’re always making half-conscious forays into the emotional world, because you’re so lonely and afraid.
