Gustav Fechner approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Gustav's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Gustav Fechner comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Gustav Fechner - 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 Gustav Fechner" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Gustav a little better. This page describes the disguise Fechner wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
He is a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and prepared to see the other side of an issue. Even if he strongly disagrees with someone, Gustav Fechner will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. He often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. Gustav has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. Gustav Fechner very much wants to be liked and because of his need for approval and acceptance, Fechner is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. He so much wants to please that often Gustav Fechner will suppress his own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others. Sometimes Fechner's politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.
His need to create harmony extends to his physical environment and personal appearance as well. Gustav Fechner appreciates beauty and has a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. He does everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From his home furnishings to his choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.
He also feels that relationships are a form of art - one that Fechner is especially interested in and usually quite skilled at, for Gustav possesses tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to him and finding the right person to share his life with is extremely important. Being part of a close relationship seems natural to Gustav Fechner - he is not an independent loner. Having a partner increases his self-confidence. Gustav Fechner does have a tendency, however, to become overly dependent on his partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being himself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for Gustav.
Others see Gustav Fechner as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice" person. Though there may be much more to him, this is the sort of face Fechner shows to the world. He possesses personal charm and an understated, non-combative manner. His motto could be "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar" for Gustav Fechner usually adopts a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.
He is highly verbal and communicative. Connecting with and talking to other people are key aspects of Gustav's personality. Gustav Fechner may sometimes come across as a busybody to others. He may also depend too much on other people's advice or feedback before he makes up his own mind, and Fechner may thus appear to be indecisive.
His emotional responses, feelings and prejudices come across to others quite clearly and Gustav Fechner could come across as rather moody and fickle. On the other hand, he is not impersonal or removed, so people are drawn to confide in him. At times Fechner may wish he were not so easy to read.
Gustav has an appealing physical appearance, which - along with his winning ways - is likely to make him a favorite in his immediate environment. Gustav Fechner is the "easy" one, and he knows how to please others. However, Fechner must not take his personal charm for granted, because he may also come across as vain or too needy for approval.
