Edgar Bergen
challenges and difficulties

Edgar has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave him feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with his peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for Bergen.

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

At times Edgar Bergen struggles with nebulous worries and insecurities, fears which may be difficult to name. Mostly, he may be afraid of getting acquainted with the inner workings of his mind and soul, feeling uneasy with anything irrational or intangible. Edgar Bergen has to work hard to overcome being overly serious regarding the spiritual side of life, especially if his religious upbringing emphasized guilt and retribution. Reorienting himself in the direction of spiritual optimism will do much to lift the cloud of worry that settles over Edgar occasionally.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Edgar Bergen 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 Edgar Bergen needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Instinctively he is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Edgar stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Edgar Bergen has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that he must be self-reliant and that only he can come up with the answers he needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate him from others, or make Edgar Bergen feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Edgar Bergen calls social "games" do not come naturally to him. Edgar Bergen needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

It is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where Edgar Bergen has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Bergen 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.

Edgar Bergen should become a warrior and cultivate a positive, victorious, active approach to life and to any problems he faces. It is in Bergen's best interest to act on his own behalf instead of stalling, waiting or hoping someone else will do it for him. Edgar Bergen needs to assert himself openly and courageously and not to be afraid to make mistakes or stumble; there are bound to be a few trial runs to any new initiative. Edgar needs to foster a healthy fighting spirit, pick himself up, and go! He also should learn to appreciate conflict and confrontation as a means to grow.
