Edward Norris
approach to life and appearances

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

Edward Norris appears gentle and soft, and he acts rather reserved with others until he knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Edward has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: his heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for him. Norris tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Norris.

Norris approaches life emotionally and subjectively and he is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around him. Instinctive and non-rational, Edward Norris is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for his actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.

His emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Edward's thoughts and opinions. He views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach himself from his own personal bias and prejudices. He is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects him and those dear and close to him, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, he may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Edward and his near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for him and his near and dear ones, it is no good.

He is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those he cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Edward Norris empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, he is easily moved by others' pain, and Edward Norris is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.

His moods fluctuate and change frequently and he is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Edward Norris communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

Edward never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to him.

Bright, alert, quick of tongue and/or of movement, there is youthfulness about Edward's manner and appearance regardless of his chronological age. Moreover, Edward Norris also always appears busy and active, and somewhat restless. Norris needs mental stimulation from his environment, or he will rapidly get bored.

Edward Norris comes across as responsible, conscientious, and solid - qualities that encourage others to take him seriously. He is unlikely to present himself as more than he is, and this humility is often endearing, or at least appealing, to others. Even as a youth, Edward Norris was mature for his age.

Other people may consider his environment a bit strange and Norris likes to surround himself with a certain air of mystery. Edward Norris tends to be very secretive and is likely to exert his power from behind the scenes.
