Indira Gandhi
approach to life and appearances

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

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Indira Gandhi likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. She is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. She is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Gandhi must have something of her own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that she can develop and manage according to her own will and vision. Whatever Indira does, she does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. She likes to put her own personal stamp on it.

Indira Gandhi also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats her in a humiliating or dishonorable way. Gandhi will rarely confront the offender - she is too proud to do so - but she will lose her affection and respect for them. Indira dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.

Gandhi admires others who are strong individuals like herself. When Indira Gandhi befriends someone, Gandhi is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. She is very giving and generous, but her gifts are never anonymous - Indira expects recognition and appreciation for them. She also expects the intense loyalty that she offers to her dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Indira Gandhi often has trouble developing relationships with people who are as strong as herself, for she does not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If she is not in the leading role, she aspires to be and will compete with the person who is.

Indira Gandhi has great heart and courage, and people often look to her for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. Indira always puts her best face forward and rarely allows others to see her hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Indira Gandhi also has a very strong need for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although she does not like others to realize just how important it is to her.

Her outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. Her own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interest Indira more than anything else. Indira Gandhi feels that if she does her best where she is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.

Gandhi may seem unpredictable and unreliable in the way she behaves towards others - or her personal relationships may seem constantly in flux, so that Indira Gandhi is always a bit off center.

Indira Gandhi also come across as an independent sort, someone who does not wish to be controlled or dictated to.
