Dealing With Stress
Ricky deals with stress by being alone. This is consistent with his desire for mastery. He
needs to be alone, to master the situation on his own.
Lucy deals with stress by getting together with other people. This is consistent with her desire
for community.
Lucy can't understand why Ricky wants to be alone when he is upset. She takes it as a
rejection of her. (It's not.)
Ricky can't understand why Lucy goes on and on about the stress she's under, instead of working out
what she's going to do about it. He takes it as incompetence, but really she's looking for
emotional support, not solutions.
