challenges and difficulties

Dan Aykroyd takes his personal relationships so seriously that they may seem more like work, constant effort, and compromise, rather than a free and enjoyable sharing. He may feel that relationships in general require more of him than they are worth, and Dan enters into any close relationship cautiously and conscientiously. Dan Aykroyd also fears entrapment in close relationships.

Dan Aykroyd has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything he does. Caution and realism are his virtues though Dan limits himself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in himself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find Dan Aykroyd difficult to get to know intimately, as Aykroyd tends to distance himself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

Ideally, Dan Aykroyd needs to strike a balance between doing for himself and doing for others, by discovering how Aykroyd's unique gifts can benefit others.
