Brooke Plankandpillow’s psyche follows an introverted flow. She knows herself and attempts to develop her inner resources to their maximum potential.

Brooke Plankandpillow is a social being oriented toward other people, whose personal interests often mingle with those of her associates or those of the group to which she belongs. She is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. Her commitments to other people are of paramount importance to her personal development, presenting difficulties with individual self-assertion and making it hard for her to make decisions alone. If she wants to achieve inner equilibrium, she must behave in such a way that her actions yield benefits to others as well as herself.

Brooke Plankandpillow is attracted to interpersonal activities, but her significant need for inner security stands 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.

Brooke Plankandpillow has a tendency to identify with others. She forms friendships easily and naturally and enjoys participating in other people’s lives. Sociable, Brooke enjoys being seen and appreciates popularity and recognition. Solitude bores her. Her life and personal relations are in sync with her friendships and outer events. Most often, Brooke shares the opinion of others.

Brooke Plankandpillow approaches life pragmatically. She bases her judgements on past experience and is prone to skepticism. A hard worker, she takes pride in her own endeavors and has a personal concept of her productivity. Her possessions help her assert herself as an individual and act as an antidote to any feelings of insecurity. As a result, material accomplishments may preoccupy her more than either love as a passion or intellectual or philosophical considerations. Nevertheless, Brooke becomes attached to anything which offers her certainty.

Brooke Plankandpillow works harder than others to understand other people’s feelings. But this seeming lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors her own difficulty in understanding her own feelings and emotional needs. She is not insensitive, but she is baffled by her own emotions. She 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, she may appear to be hard or aloof. She might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as she seeks special individuals to bond with. If she were able to accept and understand her own emotions, she would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. She has a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. She might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, her dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although she offers conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure her out of her emotional bubble, she is always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because her loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
