The person needing this remedy will often appear aloof or even arrogant. It seems they consider everyone a little ‘beneath them’. This has often resulted from them being disappointed in some major way, very often in a relationship (or potential relationship). They can be very romantic and idealistic which leads to easy disappointment in others. They simply cannot handle rejection of any kind and can feel abandoned, dwelling on everything that has hurt them in the past.

As a consequence, in time, they begin to highly value themselves and their opinions over others and like to surround themselves with the very nicest possessions (which can never disappoint them). They become contemptuous of others and their opinions.

As children they can feel bored and ‘fed up’ all the time and suffer from mood swings. Both children and adults take things to extremes if they decide to do them e.g. hobbies and pursuits

A high sex drive is common. They expect and demand respect from others.

However if they have the attention and respect they desire from the person they value, they will be very affectionate and caring in order to retain the object of their desire.
