The peacock loves to be adored and deeply craves love and attention. Usually has a bold sense of style, they love to be complemented and showered with love and appreciation. If they feel they are not getting the love and adoration they need, they tend to call attention to themselves with the way the dress, the way they interact with others or through grand gestures of generosity so that they can get the appreciation they need. The peacock archetype would likely have had experiences early on in life that made them feel as though they were not loved, so they have a deep need for it in adulthood and lots of reassurance until they learn to master this archetype.

Usually very charming and outgoing, peacocks tend to be highly social and able to speak to just about anybody. If you’re a peacock, you love love and value your relationships greatly. While a very likable archetype, this can put a lot of pressure on loved ones around them as the peacock requires a lot of time and energy to feel loved. Peacocks like to prove their value and be known for how wonderful they are. Peacocks tend to be more needy than other archetypes as they have a hard time being alone and need to be in communication. They like to talk a lot as being with people and relating to people fills their need for love and attention. An unhealthy version of a peacock will sometimes engage in behaviors that are difficult for their partner or friends. Unhealthy behaviors include a lack of boundaries or not filtering what they say for the appropriate audience. Again, these behaviors are motivated by an unconscious need for attention, which they mistake for love or adoration. Turning conversations around to themselves often can make people around a peacock weary as well. As a peacock learns to master their emotions and develops healthy behaviors, they will learn to love themselves, they will know deeply that they are enough, that they are loved, and they will not need so much external validation, which will make them wonderful to be around.
