Cillian Murphy
approach to life and appearances

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

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Cillian Murphy likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. He is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. He is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Murphy must have something of his own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that he can develop and manage according to his own will and vision. Whatever Cillian does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.

Cillian Murphy also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats him in a humiliating or dishonorable way. Murphy will rarely confront the offender - he is too proud to do so - but he will lose his affection and respect for them. Cillian dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.

Murphy admires others who are strong individuals like himself. When Cillian Murphy befriends someone, Murphy is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. He is very giving and generous, but his gifts are never anonymous - Cillian expects recognition and appreciation for them. He also expects the intense loyalty that he offers to his dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Cillian Murphy often has trouble developing relationships with people who are as strong as himself, for he does not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If he is not in the leading role, he aspires to be and will compete with the person who is.

Cillian Murphy has great heart and courage, and people often look to him for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. Cillian always puts his best face forward and rarely allows others to see him hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Cillian Murphy also has a very strong need for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although he does not like others to realize just how important it is to him.

His outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. His own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interest Cillian more than anything else. Cillian Murphy feels that if he does his best where he is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.

He may come across as a bit scattered, nervous or restless, as if unable to sit still. Cillian Murphy seems alert and quick, but sometimes a bit on edge. Cillian tends to stay perpetually busy, and would find handiwork of some kind soothing.

Cillian Murphy appears to be sweet to other people, and he knows how to use charm, persuasion and affection rather than more direct (but possibly disagreeable) methods to get his point across. He may be overly concerned with appearances and superficial beauty, in which case Cillian Murphy may also seem vain and narcissistic to others.

Cillian Murphy appears sympathetic and approachable. Because he uses his feelings and intuition to assess people, others sense that Murphy understands their feelings or their personal situations. At the same time Cillian Murphy really wants people to know how he feels, and their care and support are very important to him.
