It may be difficult for Emma Thompson to play spontaneously or just let her hair down, for she tends to inhibit that side of her by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression she is making.

Emma may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for she wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged, and recognized as special in some way. Though she may indeed be outstanding, Emma Thompson also needs to learn to relax and enjoy herself more.

Emma Thompson has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that she must be self-reliant and that only she can come up with the answers she needs.
