Desmond Harrington
in Relationships

He is very sensitive, cautious, and shy about showing others his feelings. Though he may love and care for someone a great deal, Desmond Harrington rarely expresses his feelings openly and freely. Very often Harrington's love for someone is expressed by his wish to help him, do something tangible to benefit him or serve him in some way.

It is also difficult for him to receive warmth, affection or appreciation, for he often feels that he does not really deserve it or that "they do not really mean it". Harrington may therefore come across as rather cool and aloof - much more so than he feels.

A deeply ingrained critical attitude often makes Desmond difficult to live with. Desmond Harrington needs to learn to be gentler and less of a perfectionist with others and with himself.

Desmond Harrington may have traveled extensively in his early years, or something in his background may have enabled him to understand and identify with many different types of people or cultures.

Harrington has a craving for things that are far away and foreign, or that he has never experienced before. Desmond Harrington wants to completely immerse himself in the feelings and tastes of a new place, rather than simply acquire facts or an intellectual appreciation. Emotionally as well Desmond is restless and somewhat of a wanderer.

Harrington is rambunctious and a little rowdy at times, and he enjoys sharing this kind of energy with his friends. Making noise, cheering at a football game or even getting into a friendly fight all seem like good fun to him. In fact, Desmond Harrington needs to do these things - otherwise he gets crabby.

His emotional attitudes and instincts tend to be quite liberal. Desmond Harrington does not want to be caged or dictated to, and he feels everyone is entitled to do as they please in their personal and emotional affairs.

However, Desmond Harrington enjoys an element of surprise and unpredictability.

Although Desmond Harrington was portrayed above as being assertive and combative, he also has a diametrically opposed tendency - namely the urge to escape all contention and ugliness. This may mellow Desmond's fiery reactions somewhat, or he may seesaw between the two. His softer side is described in the following paragraphs.

He is a dreamer who is attracted to the inner, mystical side of life, and may have trouble distinguishing the real from the imagined or illusory. Desmond does not enjoy confrontation and becomes very evasive when problems in his personal life or relationships arise, and escapes into his imagination in order to avoid dealing with them directly. He is also rather gullible and naive about people, especially if his sympathy has been aroused. Desmond Harrington is very sensitive to music and can use it to achieve emotional balance and harmony.

Desmond Harrington thoroughly enjoys working with others on group projects or community activities. He is quite happy when he is a part of a club, support group or team of some sort.

Money is liable to be an issue in his life, not because he does not have it, but because Desmond Harrington cannot or will not hold onto it. Desmond Harrington has a freehanded, generous, open attitude and would prefer to spend and enjoy and partake in the pleasures of the moment than to save, discipline or budget himself. At Harrington's worst, he wants an easy ride and friends will often let Desmond freeload because he is such an agreeable, friendly and pleasant sort. Alternatively, Harrington could let other people take advantage of his hospitality and tolerance.
