Björn Borg
approach to life and appearances

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

Forward-looking and progressive, he is a person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and Björn Borg is often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. He is extremely aware of the interrelations between all people, and is always projecting personal issues unto a greater whole. Borg sees the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and he wishes to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to his community or group.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, and social justice color Björn's whole outlook and approach to life. He is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only his own personal well-being.

Sometimes he may overlook or ignore his own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to his ideals of how one should feel or act. Though he has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, Björn Borg himself is sometimes dogmatic about his beliefs and ideologies.

He is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and he is eclectic and cosmopolitan in his tastes. He may consider himself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. Björn Borg is strongly influenced by his peer group and the flavor of the times in which he grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. He is involved and active in groups, community efforts, as well as cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, Björn Borg is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. Borg probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of Borg's relationships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see Björn Borg as a good friend and a comrade who is objective, fair and rather detached emotionally. Björn does not often show his emotions, and may be unsure about how to respond to others' emotional expression, for he tends to be very rational.

Björn Borg is also very independent and refuses to be possessed by any individual. Björn Borg is not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. Björn Borg needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal relationships may take a back seat to Borg's work or outside social activities.

His emotional responses, feelings and prejudices come across to others quite clearly and Björn Borg could come across as rather moody and fickle. On the other hand, he is not impersonal or removed, so people are drawn to confide in him. At times Borg may wish he were not so easy to read.

Björn Borg radiates a sense of pride, self-assurance and a definite awareness of his own importance. It is hard to ignore Borg when he is present, and his personality may overshadow or dominate the scene.

He is very receptive to the influence of his environment, giving other people a chance to exploit or use him. Björn Borg has the ability to tune into the events around him, but he also should be careful not to overreact to the intentions of others.
