Harvey Keitel
approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Harvey's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Harvey Keitel comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Harvey Keitel - 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 Harvey Keitel" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Harvey a little better. This page describes the disguise Keitel wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Harvey Keitel 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. Keitel 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 Harvey does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.
Harvey Keitel 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. Keitel will rarely confront the offender - he is too proud to do so - but he will lose his affection and respect for them. Harvey dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.
Keitel admires others who are strong individuals like himself. When Harvey Keitel befriends someone, Keitel 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 - Harvey expects recognition and appreciation for them. He also expects the intense loyalty that he offers to his dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Harvey Keitel 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.
Harvey Keitel has great heart and courage, and people often look to him for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. Harvey always puts his best face forward and rarely allows others to see him hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Harvey Keitel 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 Harvey more than anything else. Harvey Keitel feels that if he does his best where he is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.
Despite the fact that his core self is quite a bit different from the face the world generally sees, Harvey Keitel 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, Harvey Keitel often does not get the full recognition he wishes for.
Harvey Keitel seems quirky, unusual, offbeat and "different". Sometimes it seems that he is trying to provoke people and upset the status quo just by being himself. Keitel tends to be restless, excitable, and somewhat ungrounded or nervous as well.
Harvey has an appealing physical appearance and this, along with his winning ways, is apt to make him a favorite in his immediate environment. Harvey Keitel is the "easy" one, and he knows how to please others. However, Keitel must not take his personal charm for granted, because he may also seem vain or too needy for approval.
In significant ways, Keitel's emotional nature and personal needs are at odds with the way he presents himself. As a result of this inconsistency, Harvey Keitel may be uncomfortable showing his instinctive responses and true feelings. He may put them aside, maybe even be ashamed of them.
When Harvey Keitel is in an emotionally charged situation, those who do not know him well may be quite surprised at his reactions or behavior. The real challenge, though, is to completely accept himself, so that he does not act as if his emotional needs and impulses did not count for very much.
