He is serious-minded and may have difficulty making light social conversation or participating in friendly, personal interchanges.

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

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

The side of Jim Carrey that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with his urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension due to this, and at times Jim finds it hard to relax. Jim Carrey may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on himself, in an attempt to strictly control his "wild" impulses.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Jim Carrey 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.

Jim Carrey's path lies in his development as an individual, the discovery of his own strengths and joys, the capacity to express his uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd.

When under stress Jim Carrey is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, he may believe that striving to do his personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but Jim should let go of this notion. Finding his own center and doing what gives him delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Jim Carrey can offer the world at large.
