The mythical Goddess of love and Beauty. In todays world, it is often referred to a personality type who possess an illusion of love and vanity.
A few of these people can actually communicate (telepathically) ones' thoughts to another--often stirring a sexual response in their admired individual. In reality, what drives those so afflicted is not love or sex, but an acknowledgment that has been denied to them in early life. The Aphrodite has generally learned that the only way to get attention is to flaunt certain feelings mentally, and sometimes physically, often not realizing the full impact of their telepathic thoughts. Tragically, they are misunderstood and may generate in others the Pygmalion illusion of a personal ideal.
Sadly, the Aphrodite complex manifests great secretiveness or denial of their approach to relationships, making assistance difficult without careful understanding.
