Charlize Theron
approach to life and appearances

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

She is very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know well. Behind Theron's quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination. When Charlize Theron wants something she goes after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and what Charlize Theron wants, Charlize Theron usually gets.

She is not a person who lives haphazardly or superficially. Charlize wants to live passionately and intensely and is not averse to challenge, danger, or to facing the darker side of life - human pain and struggle. Charlize Theron functions well in crisis situations and she often seeks them out, for she enjoys the feeling of living at full capacity.

She is very intuitive about other people and especially about their unspoken feelings and hidden motives. Charlize Theron usually has strong, immediate gut reactions, either positive or negative, which prove to be correct. Theron approaches life very instinctively and is not always fully conscious of why she feels or acts the way she does. Charlize Theron also has a very strong affinity with animals - an acute sensitivity and a nonverbal rapport with them.

In new relationships she is rather cautious, sometimes even suspicious, until she gets to know and trust someone - and trust does not come easily to Theron. When Charlize Theron commits herself emotionally to someone, be it friend or lover, she is intensely loyal and devoted to them and she also expects the same kind of unwavering, undying loyalty in return. If she is ever betrayed by someone she cares deeply for, Charlize Theron is capable of hating and retaliating with as much fervor as she once loved. Nothing is done halfway. In fact, she is intensely involved and often jealously attached to whatever she cares about, be it person, idea, or cause. There is definitely a streak of emotional fanaticism in her.

Because of her natural reserve, others may see Charlize Theron as something of an enigma. She is quite self-protective and often defensive. Charlize Theron also has a very magnetic quality, especially to members of the opposite sex.

She may be seen as someone who provokes conflict because Charlize Theron likes to get everything out in the open and she generally does not avoid disagreeable issues. Her relationships with others may be characterized by a great deal of competition, anger, or friction as a result. Or, Theron may seem to run into more than her share of inconsiderate, pushy people. Learning to harness her energies into cooperative efforts and shared work is Theron's challenge.

To others, Charlize Theron appears capable, mature, and down to earth. Even when she was young, there was a certain practicality and responsible air about Charlize that inspired people to rely on her. Theron keeps her cool in most situations.

At times her desire to impress other people, to be important, or to be popular may make Theron does things that go against her better judgment. Even Charlize's sincere attempts to be generous or helpful may be misinterpreted, seen as pompousness or interference. Charlize Theron needs to be aware of her tendency to overdo - to go all out - even when it is not appropriate.
