Chico Marx
challenges and difficulties

Marx fears of becoming emotionally dependent upon others, and may distance himself or deny his needs for relationships of closeness and intimacy so that he will not be vulnerable to rejection or abandonment. On the other hand, Chico Marx may cling excessively or need constant reassurance from loved ones and family. Developing a deep, inner sense of security, as well as the ability to give and receive nurturing are important tasks for Chico.

Marx is generally not a "joiner" and he does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest. If Chico Marx does participate in a group, he may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or he may simply feel that he does not fit in with the others.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Chico Marx better than being with groups of his own peers.

Chico Marx becomes tense and upset rather easily. He becomes irritated by the unwillingness of others to make changes. In his eagerness to see his inspirations materialize, Marx is inclined to forego tact and diplomacy in favor of achieving his goals. His occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

Not very adaptable, Chico Marx tends to be rebellious and fight hard against oppression. This could even lead to violent incidents, so Chico should try to keep his temper under control. He may have to work extremely hard and may have a lot of responsibilities that he cannot let go.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Chico Marx instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Chico Marx needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Chico Marx's path lies in his development as an individual, the discovery of his own strengths and joys, the capacity to express his uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd. This involves becoming a leader, even though Marx's instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress Chico Marx is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, he may believe that striving to do his personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but Chico should let go of this notion. Finding his own center and doing what gives him delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Chico Marx can offer the world at large.

It is in his relationships with others that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within Chico Marx between acting spontaneously and being true to himself versus modifying himself or his behavior to suit others. Chico Marx seesaws between being inordinately concerned with his self to being overly conciliatory and concerned with others' needs, rights, or opinions about him. Learning to act authentically and forthrightly regardless of possible consequences is Marx's task.

Chico Marx tends to have a certain fear of crowds and may find it hard to integrate himself into a group of people. Working with others is not easy for Marx, and he may frequently encounter some upsets or hostility.
