Patty Duke
challenges and difficulties

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

Duke 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 Patty Duke 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.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Patty Duke better than being with groups of her own peers.

She is suspicious of groups, crowds, and social organizations. Duke is quick to pick up on social charades and insincerity and avoids the limelight and glamour. Patty Duke is direct and to the point in speech and manner, stubborn and inflexible, and often unwilling to communicate her innermost feelings and thoughts.

Patty Duke tends to be somewhat insecure and uncertain about her direction in life. Frequently plagued by doubt and fear, she is inclined to worry a lot. Because Duke lacks the confidence to fight back, she may allow herself to become the victim of others.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Patty Duke instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Patty Duke needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Patty Duke needs to take what she has learned (either through formal education or her own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Patty's quality of life or that of persons in her world, is of little real value. Putting Duke's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in her daily relationships, and in the multiple choices she makes every day, will enable Patty Duke to really test her belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, Patty Duke is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Patty Duke needs to cultivate her ability to live in the present!

It is in her public life and career that Patty Duke is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Duke's reputation and standing in her community or professional circle, as well as how Patty Duke achieves her important life goals and aspirations.

She is well mannered and has a kind, helpful and obliging nature. Patty Duke is very social, loves to entertain and enjoys talking with people. Patty feels mentally in tune with others and makes a good companion.

Patty likes to be constantly on the go and tends to have a hectic family life. She knows how to eliminate competition, but should guard against rising to the top in her position at the expense of other people.
