Barbara Gibb
approach to life and appearances

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

Modest, unobtrusive, and often rather quiet or shy, she is a person who is content to stay in the background or to serve as an assistant, in the supporting role rather than in the lead. She is quite humble in her own assessment of herself; she seeks perfection, with a tendency to be overly self-critical. No matter how well she does something, Barbara Gibb always sees the flaws in it and how it could be improved. Often Gibb will simply refuse to attempt something because she feels she cannot meet her own high standards.

Barbara Gibb has an eye for detail and she gets upset when something is not done just so, usually something others consider rather inconsequential or trivial. She is hard to please and her relationships with others may suffer because of this. Barbara Gibb also has refined sensitivities and is very discriminating and particular in her choice of foods, clothes, friends, artwork, etc. Order in Gibb's environment is very important to Gibb.

Gibb steps into situations rather cautiously, and not without realistically assessing all of the risks and potential advantages involved. Unless something is a safe bet, she is unlikely to dive into it. Barbara Gibb tends to underestimate her own capacities and to lack confidence and trust in life, which inhibits her spontaneity. Worrying is a bad habit of hers. On the other hand, Barbara rarely falls flat on her face and what she does, she does very well.

Others see Barbara Gibb as a self-sufficient and rather self-contained person. Gibb has a strong sense of propriety. Politeness, good manners, and correct behavior are important to her. Her clear, cool, objective and non-emotional attitude is apparent to others first, and though she is really quite helpful and caring, she does not radiate much sympathy and as a result, others may not see the helpful side as readily. Barbara may seem more businesslike and factual as well as more conservative than she really is at heart. She is the person others might go to for technical advice or an unbiased opinion, but not for emotional support.

She is keenly observant, intelligent, and has a great desire for learning and for self-improvement, but she is not especially ambitious and is often satisfied with a rather simple, unglamorous position in life.

Gibb may seem unpredictable and unreliable in the way she behaves towards others - or her personal relationships may seem constantly in flux, so that Barbara Gibb is always a bit off center.

Barbara Gibb also comes across as an independent sort, someone who does not wish to be controlled or dictated to.

Barbara has an appealing physical appearance, which - along with her winning ways - is likely to make her a favorite in her immediate environment. Barbara Gibb is the "easy" one, and she knows how to please others. However, Gibb must not take her personal charm for granted, because she may also come across as vain or too needy for approval.

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