Swanson is more rigid and dogmatic than she realizes. Her approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Gloria Swanson takes her own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if she is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

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

The conflict between spiritual needs and ideals versus material desires or limitations of the "real world" is one of Gloria's ongoing challenges. It may be hard for Gloria Swanson to sort out her true values, especially when she is enmeshed in the demands of mundane life.

Finding inner strength through spirituality and attunement to a higher source is ultimately the answer for her.

It is in her relationships with others that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues.
