Rúben Dias 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.

Rúben Dias is relatively extroverted. He leads a life which is open to the outside world. His personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. He is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Rúben Dias 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 work hard to understand the feelings of others. But, like yourself, you find it difficult to understand your own emotions. You see the emotional world as a foreign territory, full of hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would only complicate your life. As a result, you might appear insensitive or aloof. You might have trouble establishing a rewarding relationship, as you seek out special individuals to bond with. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with the feelings of others. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might find it difficult to see the emotional needs of others. You might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as a threat, it is repressed. In actuality, however, you are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because your loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
