David Nelson
motivation

Behind Nelson's rather cool, conservative, somewhat impersonal and businesslike demeanor (as described on the previous page), he is much more passionate and emotional. David Nelson often conceals his vulnerability beneath a veneer of toughness or indifference.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, he is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. David Nelson is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and he only allows a special few into his inner world. Like a wary animal, he is cautious and mistrustful of those he does not know until "he sniffs them out". He is highly instinctive and intuitive. David Nelson usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though he may be unable to clearly articulate why he feels the way he does. His feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

David Nelson also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and he forms very intense love bonds and attachments. He is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his relationship with someone he loves. When David Nelson commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. David merges with or "marries" the person he loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for him, and often stormy and nasty. When Nelson has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. David will most certainly never forget the hurt and he often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to him.

Whatever he does, David does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. Nelson can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Nelson can also be very narrow-minded: either he is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is David Nelson emotionally detached and objective.

He is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.
