Gabriel Byrne
approach to life and appearances

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

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Gabriel Byrne 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. Byrne 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 Gabriel does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.

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

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

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

He is extremely willful, but he often achieves his desires in a quiet, secretive, or manipulative way. He may be intensely charismatic and wield considerable influence over others, or he may be attracted to similarly powerful, fascinating personalities. Gabriel Byrne tends to go to extremes in whatever he does, to be compulsive, and he is driven by a sense of mission or destiny. Gabriel does not take anything at face value and is always digging beneath the surface for the deeper meaning or real motivations of others.

Despite the fact that his core self is quite a bit different from the face the world generally sees, Gabriel Byrne 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, Gabriel Byrne often does not get the full recognition he wishes for.

Gabriel Byrne tends to blend in with and take on the characteristics of the people in his surroundings, and may thus not make a powerful individual statement of his own. He may project an aura of glamour or "make-believe", and enjoy trying on different personalities at different times.
