Having to prove that friendship makes people free
They have the feeling that friendship makes people free. They want to show it to the world, they want to prove that friendship really works. They can feel it as their task to establish friendship in the world so that everyone will be autonomous, that people will not be hindered by loyalty.
Proving that their friend is autonomous
They want to have friends that are autonomous. They will push or even force their friends to take their own control, to resist the force of others. They can feel very disappointed when their friends give up their independence.
Proving that they are autonomous in their friendship
They want to prove their autonomy in friendship. They can feel it as a problem when their friends try to force them to do things they don’t want to do. It gives rise to a conflict between their friendship and their independence. The friendship can make them feel "unfree". But they won’t give in easily, they will try to prove to themselves and their friends that autonomy and friendship can go together. Diseases often start when they fail in this respect.
Proving that only autonomous people can be clever
They are convinced that only free-thinkers are clever. They cannot see how a dependent person can think freely. They think that dependent people will distort their thinking out of various loyalties.
Having to prove that they are not stupid and clumsy
They want to prove that they are clever, not stupid and clumsy. They feel that if they’re stupid, they cannot be independent and will be overruled by others. At school they want to prove that they can be good and get good results.
