Irina Pantaeva
approach to life and appearances

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

High-spirited, enthusiastic, and exuberant, Irina loves adventure, change and exploring new territory. She is not happy with being confined to the same safe, familiar, secure little world all the time. Irina Pantaeva has a strong sense of restlessness and yearning for something greater than anything she has yet experienced, and she often lives in her dreams and visions for the future. Irina Pantaeva tends to believe that the grass is greener somewhere else, and she likes to keep moving, either literally or figuratively. Idealistic and optimistic, she always expects something better ahead. Irina Pantaeva loves to have a goal, something to aim for, but once she achieves it she is on to something else. She is ever on the lookout for new opportunities and she is a gambler, willing to take risks and to break new ground. The possibility of discovering something new is what makes life interesting for her. Irina Pantaeva has great faith in life and she bounces back quickly from disappointment and failure.

Freedom loving and independent, Irina Pantaeva cannot tolerate being caged in for very long, and friends and loved ones must respect her need for freedom of movement. Binding commitments, responsibilities and relationships often weigh heavily upon Irina and she may resist "growing up" and assuming the limitations of adult life.

She is friendly and outgoing and has a great sense of fun and playfulness. She is also philosophically minded and often quite outspoken about her convictions and beliefs. Sometimes Irina Pantaeva gets carried away with her enthusiasm of the moment and she tends to exaggerate. She is often a big talker, a big maker of promises, and she is usually pretty convincing. She does everything in a big way, a generous way. Pantaeva likes to have the best, and she heartily dislikes stinginess, small mindedness or pettiness. Her vision is always large. She is able to perceive the big picture, general patterns and principles, and she is well suited to politics, business, higher education or religion.

Others see Irina Pantaeva as a good sport and a good friend, but one who is not always consistent and dependable. She may also be seen as a wise person since she does not get bogged down in pettiness and trivialities, and is able to communicate a broader perspective that opens up new horizons. She is a person who believes in miracles, grace, or just plain good luck, someone who never gives up on life, and she inspires and encourages others to keep looking ahead.

Irina is most comfortable when she can share her discoveries and enthusiasm with other people in a very personal, warm, "we are all one big family" way. Irina does not like to exclude anybody! Consequently, she is a very good entertainer and she enjoys a wide circle of friends. She projects a very generous, broadly sympathetic manner which makes Irina Pantaeva quite popular with both personal friends and the public at large.

Irina Pantaeva appears to be sweet to other people, and she knows how to use charm, persuasion and affection rather than more direct (but possibly disagreeable) methods to get her point across. She may be overly concerned with appearances and superficial beauty, in which case Irina Pantaeva may also seem vain and narcissistic to others.

She is assertive and bold. Irina Pantaeva is willing to be the first person to speak up and make her position known, and to strike out on her own if necessary. Irina generally gets along better with men than with women because her approach is quite direct and sometimes tactless and insensitive as well. She can be a bit too forceful. However, Irina Pantaeva's boldness is her calling card, and most people feel that she can at least be trusted to be honest with them.
