Troy Garity
challenges and difficulties

Garity doubts his own intelligence and mental capacities, and he may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Troy is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for him.

Fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death may plague Troy. He strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for him.

On another level entirely, Troy Garity is very careful about joining forces, and especially his material resources, with others. Garity wants to keep his own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

Once he decides what he wants to do, Troy Garity will pursue his goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for his deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Troy feel a little out of step with others. Troy Garity 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 Troy feels and how driven he is about the things that are important to him. Troy Garity 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.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Troy Garity 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 Troy Garity needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Troy Garity has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that he is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Troy Garity needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, he has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, he may encourage others to depend on him emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Troy Garity needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

It is in his way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Troy Garity is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In Garity's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, he needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

Troy Garity seems to be a loner, rather serious and quiet. Perhaps he is burdened by family conditions that weigh him down. Troy prefers to associate with older or more authoritative people and is happier in a subordinate position.

Troy Garity has a strong desire to break records and set an example for others through his own achievements. Troy tends to spur others on to improve results and his relationships with others is for the purpose of bettering conditions.

Troy Garity tends to be a bit too idealistic and may place too much hope on his relationships, resulting in frequent disappointments. Troy could be attracted to naive people, but some of his contacts also may turn out to be swindlers.
