Amy Carter
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Amy's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Amy Carter comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Amy Carter - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Amy Carter" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Amy a little better. This page describes the disguise Carter wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Amy Carter appears gentle and soft, and she acts rather reserved with others until she knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Amy has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: her heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for her. Carter tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Carter.

Carter approaches life emotionally and subjectively and she is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around her. Instinctive and non-rational, Amy Carter is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for her actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.

Her emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Amy's thoughts and opinions. She views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach herself from her own personal bias and prejudices. She is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects her and those dear and close to her, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, she may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Amy and her near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for her and her near and dear ones, it is no good.

She is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those she cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Amy Carter empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, she is easily moved by others' pain, and Amy Carter is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.

Her moods fluctuate and change frequently and she is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Amy Carter communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

Amy never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to her.

Despite the fact that her core self is quite a bit different from the face the world generally sees, Amy Carter has a strong desire to be seen and recognized, to be acknowledged, and to have a significant influence on people in her environment. She may do remarkable things in order to be noticed. However, Amy Carter often does not get the full recognition she wishes for.

Bright, alert, quick of tongue and/or of movement, there is youthfulness about Amy's manner and appearance regardless of her chronological age. Amy Carter also always appears busy and active, and somewhat restless. Carter needs mental stimulation from her environment, or she will rapidly get bored.

There is an air of universal sympathy, gentleness, and nonjudgmental acceptance about Amy Carter which draws people in need to her. Because she has a good deal of intuitive insight or psychic perceptiveness, Amy is able to say or do just the right thing for them. Amy Carter needs to beware of fostering dependency in those people, however.

Amy has penetrating insight into people and a keen eye and ear for the hidden, unspoken, behind-the-scenes elements in life. She may seem intense and make other people a bit uncomfortable at times. There is also a sexual quality in Amy's manner which can be quite alluring, in a subtle way.
