Dylan McDermott
motivation

Behind McDermott's rather cool, conservative, somewhat impersonal and businesslike demeanor (as described on the previous page), he is much more passionate and emotional. Dylan McDermott 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. Dylan McDermott 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. Dylan McDermott 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.

Dylan McDermott 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 Dylan McDermott commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Dylan 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 McDermott has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Dylan 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, Dylan does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. McDermott can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. McDermott can also be very narrow-minded: either he is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is Dylan McDermott emotionally detached and objective. He definitely has a fanatical streak. He is also immensely strong-willed and his tenacity in pursuing his objectives often borders on obsession. He is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Dylan McDermott loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Dylan never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Dylan McDermott tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

World travel, foreign cultures, and studies which expand his intellectual horizons and broaden his understanding of the world are very attractive to McDermott.

Dylan McDermott has a philosophical turn of mind and is concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting the overview of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy his mind much of the time.

Dylan has big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. Dylan McDermott tends to exaggerate, promise more than is feasible and misjudge by being overly optimistic. However, he never gives up on his hopes for the future. McDermott tends to be restless and discontent with the responsibilities and limitations of life.

He is an original! Dylan McDermott radiates a sort of electrical excitement about the things he is interested in, and conveys this to others, but he also gets bored rather quickly. Dylan does not mind being a bit unusual or breaking a few rules either.

He is very receptive and sensitive but has a tendency to over-idealize, making his approach to love relationships, romance or marriage somewhat unrealistic. Dylan McDermott also tends to be a bit absent-minded and naive, leaving himself open for being taken, swindled or lied to.

Appearing successful and attractive to the public is important to him. Dylan McDermott probably enjoys wearing stylish clothes and modern jewelry. He tends to seek admiration from others and social acceptance is necessary to Dylan's well-being.
