Dorothy Squires
challenges and difficulties

Squires doubts her own intelligence and mental capacities, and she may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Dorothy 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.

She may have vague but ever-present feelings of guilt and fear that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Dorothy Squires does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend herself from its dangers and its unknowns. Dorothy Squires must learn to overcome her ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

She is suspicious of groups, crowds, and social organizations. Squires is quick to pick up on social charades and insincerity and avoids the limelight and glamour. Dorothy Squires is direct and to the point in speech and manner, stubborn and inflexible, and often unwilling to communicate her innermost feelings and thoughts.

When under stress she is likely to become overly focused on herself and her own little world.

Instead of "how will this benefit or hurt me?" Squires' focus needs to shift to "how will this affect us all?".

Ideally, Dorothy Squires needs to strike a balance between doing for herself and doing for others, by discovering how Squires' unique gifts can benefit others.

It is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where Dorothy Squires has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Squires will see these issues arise in close partnerships of any kind, especially when there is a mutual dependency involved. Dealing with in-laws, inheritances, and legal matters involving joint custody, shared assets, and resources is also a part of this.
