Dodi al-Fayed
approach to life and appearances

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

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Dodi al-Fayed 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. Al-Fayed 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 Dodi does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.

Dodi al-Fayed 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. Al-Fayed will rarely confront the offender - he is too proud to do so - but he will lose his affection and respect for them. Dodi dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.

Al-Fayed admires others who are strong individuals like himself. When Dodi al-Fayed befriends someone, Al-Fayed 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 - Dodi expects recognition and appreciation for them. He also expects the intense loyalty that he offers to his dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Dodi al-Fayed 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.

Dodi al-Fayed has great heart and courage, and people often look to him for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. Dodi always puts his best face forward and rarely allows others to see him hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Dodi al-Fayed 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 Dodi more than anything else. Dodi al-Fayed feels that if he does his best where he is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.

He is assertive and bold. Dodi al-Fayed is willing to be the first person to speak up and make his position known, and to strike out on his own if necessary. Dodi generally gets along better with men than with women because his approach is quite direct and sometimes tactless and insensitive as well. He can be a bit too forceful. However, Dodi al-Fayed's boldness is his calling card, and most people feels that he can at least be trusted to be honest with them.

Al-Fayed is likely to go his own way in life and he ha a tendency to keep secluded from others. Always preoccupied with his own thoughts and ideas, Dodi al-Fayed gives other people the impression that he does not want to be bothered with their problems.
