Carl Wilson
approach to life and appearances

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

He is a gentle, sensitive person with a deep understanding of people and a very tolerant, accepting, non-judgmental approach towards life. In a noisy, competitive atmosphere Carl Wilson is often receding and withdrawn for he is not an aggressive, forceful person, and he intensely dislikes conflict. In fact Carl tends to be somewhat passive, to wait, watch, observe, feel and know much - but to act little. Letting things resolve or work themselves out in their own way, rather than directing or forcing his will upon them is often Wilson's way of dealing with problems.

Carl Wilson may have a deeply religious or spiritual feeling about life, not in the orthodox sense necessarily, but an intuitive sense of the immensity and underlying oneness of all life, which makes so many human aspirations seem rather unimportant. He needs peaceful surroundings in order to flourish, and periods of quiet solitude are essential for Wilson's emotional balance and well-being.

Carl Wilson is also very compassionate and cannot tolerate seeing any fellow creature suffer - be it human, animal, or even plant! As a child Carl Wilson probably cried very easily and became quite upset whenever others were hurt, physically or emotionally. The world of Wilson's imagination and fantasy was also very real to Wilson, a place to escape to when the outside world became too harsh, demanding, or simply uninteresting.

Because he is very giving and forgiving, people sense Wilson's sympathetic nature and gravitate toward him when in need. Often Wilson will continue to give to people even when he realizes they are taking advantage of him or becoming overly dependent upon him. Carl Wilson overlooks and makes excuses for other people's weaknesses, and for his own as well. Discrimination and self-discipline are not Wilson's strong points.

Though he may be as intelligent as anyone else, he does not really have a rational, logical approach toward life, and trying to reach Carl through logical arguments is often futile. His feelings, intuition, and heart, not his head, lead him, which may infuriate or bewilder Wilson's more rational friends. Carl Wilson certainly recognizes that there is much more to life than can be explained intellectually and categorized into neat little boxes, and Carl Wilson has an open, receptive attitude toward such areas as psychic phenomena, telepathy, parapsychology, etc. He is not as structured and rigid in his attitudes as many people are, which enables Carl Wilson to see many different points of view and to accept all of them as valid. This can lead to vagueness, uncertainty, and confusion on his part - or to a very flexible and holistic way of approaching any issue.

He is assertive and bold. Carl Wilson is willing to be the first person to speak up and make his position known, and to strike out on his own if necessary. Carl generally gets along better with men than with women because his approach is quite direct and sometimes tactless and insensitive as well. He can be a bit too forceful. However, Carl Wilson's boldness is his calling card, and most people feels that he can at least be trusted to be honest with them.

Wilson may well have been discouraged from freely expressing himself, and an overemphasis on being acceptable, conforming to certain standards and expectations, and generally not getting out of line is apt to inhibit Carl quite a bit.

He is charming and friendly to everyone, but may prefer more superficial and frequently changing relationships with people rather than steady and lasting friendships. Some of his meetings with others could come about suddenly.

Carl Wilson has a strong desire to constantly be in the limelight and he considers second place already as failure. Very self-confident, Wilson has the ability to mold his surrounding to his own needs and is likely to furnish his home according to his taste.
