Alley Baggett
challenges and difficulties

Baggett doubts her own intelligence and mental capacities, and she may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Alley is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for her.

Her attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Alley Baggett may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to her. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Alley may tenaciously cling to her grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.

Her overall outlook on life is serious, and Alley Baggett may feel that life or God will punish her if she does not watch her step!

Once she decides what she wants to do, Alley Baggett will pursue her goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for her deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Alley feel a little out of step with others. Alley Baggett takes things a little more seriously and has an inclination to be somewhat of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so; as a result, others may not be aware of how deeply Alley feels and how driven she is about the things that are important to her. Alley Baggett has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to her, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

Alley Baggett has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that she is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Alley Baggett needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, she has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, she may encourage others to depend on her emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Alley Baggett needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.
