Patrick Macnee
challenges and difficulties

Patrick Macnee takes his personal relationships so seriously that they may seem more like work, constant effort, and compromise, rather than a free and enjoyable sharing. He may feel that relationships in general require more of him than they are worth, and Patrick enters into any close relationship cautiously and conscientiously. Patrick Macnee also fears entrapment in close relationships.

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

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Patrick Macnee better than being with groups of his own peers.

Once he decides what he wants to do, Patrick Macnee will pursue his goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for his deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Patrick feel a little out of step with others. Patrick Macnee takes things a little more seriously and has an inclination to be somewhat of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so; as a result, others may not be aware of how deeply Patrick feels and how driven he is about the things that are important to him. Patrick Macnee has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to him, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

The side of Patrick Macnee 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 Patrick finds it hard to relax. Patrick Macnee 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 Patrick Macnee 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 Patrick Macnee 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, Patrick stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Patrick Macnee 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 Patrick Macnee feel that "it is me against the world".

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