She is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing herself freely and openly is not easy for Borden. Lizzie Borden tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous.

Borden is generally not a "joiner" and she does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest. If Lizzie Borden does participate in a group, she may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or she may simply feel that she does not fit in with the others.
