Jensen Ackles
challenges and difficulties

He is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing himself freely and openly is not easy for Ackles. Jensen Ackles tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of his "performance" is an important task for Jensen.

He is serious by nature, and may have difficulty making small talk or participating in friendly, personal exchanges.

Jensen Ackles tries to be strictly accurate and is critical of people who exaggerate or discuss subjects they really know little about. Ackles withholds his thoughts and opinions until he has thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes Jensen's silence discomforts others.

His mental concentration is very good but his breadth of understanding may not be.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Jensen Ackles 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 Jensen Ackles 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, Jensen stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Jensen Ackles 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 Jensen Ackles feel that "it is me against the world".

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

The arena he is most likely to wrestle with these issues is in playful self-expression, games or sports, and creativity. Jensen Ackles should try to develop any artistic, expressive, creative potentials he feels he possesses, utilizing the qualities described above.

His relationships with others may be rather unstable and unreliable. With a somewhat negative attitude and weak will, Jensen Ackles avoids opposition and escapes his responsibilities. In his relationships he is likely to choose people who are asocial.

Jensen Ackles tends to have a certain fear of crowds and may find it hard to integrate himself into a group of people. Working with others is not easy for Ackles, and he may frequently encounter upsets or hostility.
