Dylan McDermott
approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Dylan's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Dylan McDermott comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Dylan McDermott - 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 Dylan McDermott" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Dylan a little better. This page describes the disguise McDermott wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Cautious, prudent, and rather self-contained, he is a person who approaches life realistically and who is not inclined to take foolish chances or get carried away by the overly optimistic or idealistic schemes of starry-eyed dreamers. In fact, Dylan McDermott frequently has a jaundiced view of such things. He is rather worldly-wise at a fairly young age, even somewhat of a cynic. Often the world does not seem like a safe, friendly place to McDermott, and he tends to approach life in a guarded, conservative manner. He is generally calculated and careful, and is rarely spontaneous, fluid, open, and childlike.
He is pragmatic, shrewd, and an excellent strategist, carefully planning his moves for maximum effectiveness and advantage. He is willing to work long and persistently for what he wants and he often does things the hard way. Dylan does not expect others to take care of him and sometimes refuses or simply does not seek any outside help. He is often very ambitious, but quietly so. There is nothing flamboyant or flashy about his approach. He is very responsible, conscientious, and concerned with his duties to others and how he comes across socially - his "rank" so to speak.
To others Dylan McDermott seems mature, serious, quiet, reflective, and emotionally detached. Dylan dislikes sloppy sentimentality and will not openly display his feelings, especially the more tender ones. McDermott likes to always appear poised and in control; and he hates to show any weakness, vulnerability, or chinks in his armor.
Dylan McDermott respects tradition and the time-honored way of doing things, and he feels that there is much to be gained from studying history and also by learning from older, more experienced people. A wise mentor or father is often McDermott's guide in life, and he in turn develops a great deal of hard-earned wisdom, which he likes to impart to younger people.
Dylan McDermott has a stern, authoritarian, no-nonsense aspect to his personality. He expects much from himself and may not give himself enough leeway to experiment and make mistakes.
He also tends to be rather close-fisted, to save and conserve his money and resources rather than spending or enjoying them. Dylan McDermott spends money on things of quality and of lasting value, things which are good investments, but not frivolous, temporary pleasures. There is a bit of the ascetic in him. Dylan exercises great self-discipline and self-control and he can "do without" very well. His tastes are generally understated and simple.
Though he may have other, more colorful and imaginative sides, the face McDermott shows the world is modest and rather conservative.
In addition to his responsible and mature demeanor, Dylan McDermott also radiates a sense of confidence, well-being, and optimism which inspires trust and good feelings in others. He expects success in life and he generally achieves it. Dylan McDermott tends to create opportunities for himself wherever he goes, through his sincerity and positive attitude.
Despite the fact that his core self is quite a bit different from the face the world generally sees, Dylan McDermott has a strong desire to be seen and recognized, to be acknowledged, and to have a significant influence on people in his environment. He may do remarkable things in order to be noticed. However, Dylan McDermott often does not get the full recognition he wishes for.
He may come across a bit scattered, nervous, or restless, as if he cannot sit still. Dylan McDermott seems alert and quick, but sometimes a bit on edge. Dylan tends to stay perpetually busy, and would find handiwork of some kind to be soothing.
He may be seen as the wild card, the unpredictable or kooky one, because occasionally Dylan McDermott does surprising things that are either totally out of character or are actually intended to shock people. There is an erratic quality or rebelliousness that comes across at odd moments. It seems to be Dylan's role to shake things up a bit and he may not be entirely comfortable with this himself.
