Gus Trikonis
in Relationships

Serious and responsible, he tries to carry the world on his shoulders and rarely lets others know that he needs help and support. Gus Trikonis denies or ignores his own emotional needs and feels that others will not accept him if he appears "weak". He is especially uncomfortable with emotional dependency, and tells himself and others (even children) not to be a "baby". Gus Trikonis needs to accept that no one is self-sufficient all the time, and to be gentler with his "childish" emotional needs and wants. To others, he may appear to be rather hard-nosed and tough, with a businesslike attitude toward their personal concerns and feelings. Actually, no one is a truer friend. His feelings and loyalties run deep, but he often does not let people know how much he cares. Gus Trikonis also sometimes needs to learn to relax, enjoy himself, and play.

Gus Trikonis often makes decisions solely for emotional or personal reasons, because something "feels right" or because he has always done it a certain way and he is uncomfortable changing it. Even when Trikonis thinks he is being rational, his prejudices, intuitions, and feelings influence his thoughts a great deal. Gus is comfortable talking about feelings and personal subjects, and sharing confidences, which enables others to express their own inner feelings with him as well. Gus Trikonis has good psychological insight into others.

No matter how he appears on the surface, Gus Trikonis has a very soft heart and others can always appeal to Gus' sympathetic, affectionate side. He especially cares about the needs of children, mothers and families, and he wants a love partner who values marriage, home and family as much as he does. Trikonis is profoundly offended by unkindness or harshness.

Trikonis is rambunctious and a little rowdy at times, and he enjoys sharing this kind of energy with his friends. Making noise, cheering at a football game, or even getting into a friendly fight all seem like a good time to him. In fact, Gus Trikonis needs to do these things or otherwise he gets crabby.

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

Gus Trikonis 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, Trikonis actually cares very much about being included. Because he is so sensitive, it may seem easier for Gus Trikonis 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 Gus Trikonis becomes very attached to the few people he considers "real friends". Trikonis 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.

Gus Trikonis has a good perception and feeling of beauty and may have a talent for painting or drawing. Gus Trikonis has a magnetic charm and is refined and calm when he is with people. Gus has the ability to win people over by what he says and how he says it.

Gus Trikonis has a positive emotional outlook and cultivating spiritual relationships with others is important to him. He is likely to have a big circle of friends and acquaintances and he loves to give and receive social invitations.

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

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

Beautiful, elegant, and harmonious surroundings are very important to Gus Trikonis, and he has an innate sense of style, design, and form. Socially, also, good form and politeness are important to Trikonis and he instinctively avoids crudeness and dissonance.

He enjoys talking about love, relationships, art and the beautiful side of life. Gus Trikonis appreciates artistic people.

He is serious and finds it difficult to enjoy himself in a lighthearted, open and playful way with others. Gus Trikonis rarely does something purely for pleasure, and can be very close-fisted and parsimonious. Perhaps due to painful separations in his early life, Gus is very cautious about becoming involved in close relationships and sharing his feelings. Though Trikonis craves love and affection, intimacy is difficult for him. He may become romantically involved with people who do not value him or treat him well. Gus Trikonis needs to learn to love and value himself before he finds happiness in love.

He is prone to get involved in highly intense, even obsessive relationships - "fatal attractions", so to speak. At its darkest, this urge for intensity in the personal arena may compel Gus Trikonis to choose friends or mates who are rather dangerous or dishonorable characters with a penchant for manipulating and inflicting pain on their "loved ones". On the other hand, Trikonis may be tempted to use his own sexuality or charm to play the same sort of game, to use love or friendship as a bargaining chip or to gain power over others. Even if his intentions are basically good, Gus Trikonis will find that his closest relationships are rather tumultuous affairs in which some rather unlovely aspects of his (such as jealousy and the desire to dominate or to be a victim) keep showing their faces. These are qualities that need to be understood and ultimately outgrown.
