Gordon Parks
in Relationships

Warm, loving and generous in his relationships, Gordon Parks inspires tremendous devotion and loyalty in his loved ones. This is good, since he would never settle for anything less! Gordon wants to be adored and worshipped like the royalty he feels he is, and it is difficult for anyone to resist the warmth and attention Parks lavishes on those he cares about. Gordon Parks has a great deal of pride and needs to be recognized and appreciated. The way to really hurt his feelings is to ignore him. He is genuine, sincere, and has a strong sense of personal integrity. Gordon Parks hates emotional games and dishonesty.

Parks depends a great deal upon other people for emotional support and he has a large "family" of friends that care about him and treat him as kin. The women in Gordon's life are particularly important to him, and his relationships with them powerfully influence his sense of security and happiness. Gordon Parks may be overly dependent and unsure of himself without a close partner.

He is temperamental and impatient and can be very difficult to live with. Gordon Parks tends to respond with a temper tantrum (overt or subtle) if his desires are frustrated. Gordon Parks becomes very irritable and bad-tempered if he lacks vigorous physical activity or other outlets for his aggressive, feisty spirit.

Although Parks gets hot under the collar rather easily (as mentioned above), he also has a certain degree of emotional self-control and composure, which enable Gordon Parks to rein in some of his more aggressive tendencies. This side of his is described below.

Gordon Parks often feels that he must do something or be something other than what he is in order to receive approval and acceptance from others. He is very sensitive to criticism and easily feels left out or neglected, and though he may appear cool or distant, Parks actually cares very much about being included. Because he is so sensitive, it may seem easier for Gordon Parks to withdraw into a shell rather than risk the emotional bumps and bruises he may endure once he lets others really know him in an intimate, personal way. His reserve and caution make establishing close emotional relationships with others difficult, and Gordon Parks becomes very attached to the few people he considers "real friends". Parks can gain inner security and strength through periods of solitude if he views them as times to nourish himself and develop his own interests, rather than as times of loneliness.

In addition to Gordon's rather introverted, serious or self-contained side, he has a wild streak and urge for emotional freedom that breaks through erratically. Gordon Parks craves both stability and excitement, and the conflict between these two impulses can make Parks rather tense and irritable. However, they can also balance each other out. His freer and unpredictable side will now be described.

Gordon Parks tends to have strange quirks, idiosyncrasies, or domestic habits, and he may feel that he does not fit in with "normal" people. These could be endearing eccentricities, or truly outlandish tastes and behavior. Establishing a steady routine and rhythm in his life and relationships would be very beneficial but may not be easily achieved. Ideally Gordon Parks can create a unique lifestyle that affords him a lot of personal space, freedom, and flexibility to follow his own somewhat erratic rhythms - while at the same time providing some order and consistency. There is a current of emotional discontent or restlessness within Gordon also, which may be reflected in unstable personal relationships of the on again/off again variety. Gordon Parks craves change and excitement whether he realizes it consciously or not.

Gordon has very deep feelings and profound attachments to people he cares about. His relationships to his mother, sisters, daughters, and other females in his life are apt to be incredibly close and intense. Gordon Parks may be easily manipulated too, when it comes to one of these important relationships, because he is so emotionally invested in it.

Gordon Parks has a strong desire for genuine understanding with others and finds it easy to share his feelings with them. His feelings toward others are very loving and Gordon is likely to have a lot in common with many of his friends.

His will tends to be a bit weak and he seems to lack courage. Somewhat slow to take action, Gordon Parks thinks that he will fail because of his inadequacies as a person. He keeps his feelings to himself and should guard against depression and pessimism.

He is definitely not one to wear his heart on his sleeve. Gordon Parks cares very much about others' opinions and craves love and appreciation as much as anyone - however one would never know it from Parks' reserved and seemingly detached demeanor. Casual, superficial relationships do not interest Gordon at all. He is cautious and serious about love and really desires deep, genuine, lasting relationships. Gordon Parks is old-fashioned about courtship and love relationships, and will remain faithful to his loved one in good times and in bad.

Gordon Parks may be attracted to older persons who are emotionally mature and reliable and can provide the security Gordon desires.

Parks is a very sociable, congenial person and he wilts very quickly without relationships with good friends and people to share good times with. Gordon Parks thoroughly enjoys working with others on group projects or community activities. He is quite happy when he is a part of a club, support group, or team of some sort.

Gordon has an affectionate nature and is in harmony with his environment. Charming and friendly, he is on good terms with most of the people in his sphere. His friends and associates mean a lot to Gordon Parks and his relationships are positive and loving.

He may be subject to periodic changes of mood, is serious, somewhat somber, and he seems to lack confidence in himself and could have trouble giving of his. Gordon Parks tends to avoid close relationships, expecting to be disappointed if he lets anyone come too close.
