David Beckham
approach to life and appearances

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

David Beckham appears gentle and soft, and he acts rather reserved with others until he knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. David has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: his heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for him. Beckham tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Beckham.

Beckham approaches life emotionally and subjectively and he is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around him. Instinctive and non-rational, David Beckham is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for his actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.

His emotions and personal loyalties tend to color David's thoughts and opinions. He views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach himself from his own personal bias and prejudices. He is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects him and those dear and close to him, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, he may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for David and his near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for him and his near and dear ones, it is no good.

He is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those he cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. David Beckham empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, he is easily moved by others' pain, and David Beckham is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.

His moods fluctuate and change frequently and he is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. David Beckham communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit. David never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to him.

David Beckham has a mature and rather heavy, solemn demeanor, and he tends to take himself and life too seriously. He possesses a great deal of self-control, self-discipline, and a very dominant conscience. He may be dogged by feelings of personal inadequacy and inhibition. David Beckham seems authoritarian to others.

He is direct, honest, and to the point - some might say excessively so. However, no one has to guess who David Beckham is or what he wants - he is pretty much up front. David radiates a refreshing enthusiasm and vigor when he is at his best. He seems to enjoy competition without taking it terribly seriously.
