André Breton
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of André's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way André Breton comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner André Breton - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his 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 André Breton" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know André a little better. This page describes the disguise Breton wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

He is a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and prepared to see the other side of an issue. Even if he strongly disagrees with someone, André Breton will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. He often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. André has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. André Breton very much wants to be liked and because of his need for approval and acceptance, Breton is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. He so much wants to please that often André Breton will suppress his own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others. Sometimes Breton's politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.

His need to create harmony extends to his physical environment and personal appearance as well. André Breton appreciates beauty and has a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. He does everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From his home furnishings to his choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.

He also feels that relationships are a form of art - one that Breton is especially interested in and usually quite skilled at, for André possesses tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to him and finding the right person to share his life with is extremely important. Being part of a close relationship seems natural to André Breton - he is not an independent loner. Having a partner increases his self-confidence. André Breton does have a tendency, however, to become overly dependent on his partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being himself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for André.

Others see André Breton as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice" person. Though there may be much more to him, this is the sort of face Breton shows to the world. He possesses personal charm and an understated, non-combative manner. His motto could be "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar" for André Breton usually adopts a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.

At times his feisty spirit, aggressiveness, and a too-forceful approach get André into trouble. André Breton tends to take offense when none was intended. He may be viewed as a troublemaker, an upstart, or an egotist with little concern for others. André Breton needs to moderate his temper to avoid constant irritation with those in his environment.

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