Jerry Reed
approach to life and appearances

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

He is a gentle, sensitive person with a deep understanding of people and a very tolerant, accepting, non-judgmental approach towards life. In a noisy, competitive atmosphere Jerry Reed is often receding and withdrawn for he is not an aggressive, forceful person, and he intensely dislikes conflict. In fact Jerry tends to be somewhat passive, to wait, watch, observe, feel and know much - but to act little. Letting things resolve or work themselves out in their own way, rather than directing or forcing his will upon them is often Reed's way of dealing with problems.

Jerry Reed may have a deeply religious or spiritual feeling about life, not in the orthodox sense necessarily, but an intuitive sense of the immensity and underlying oneness of all life, which makes so many human aspirations seem rather unimportant. He needs peaceful surroundings in order to flourish, and periods of quiet solitude are essential for Reed's emotional balance and well-being.

Jerry Reed is also very compassionate and cannot tolerate seeing any fellow creature suffer - be it human, animal, or even plant! As a child Jerry Reed probably cried very easily and became quite upset whenever others were hurt, physically or emotionally. The world of Reed's imagination and fantasy was also very real to Reed, a place to escape to when the outside world became too harsh, demanding, or simply uninteresting.

Because he is very giving and forgiving, people sense Reed's sympathetic nature and gravitate toward him when in need. Often Reed will continue to give to people even when he realizes they are taking advantage of him or becoming overly dependent upon him. Jerry Reed overlooks and makes excuses for other people's weaknesses, and for his own as well. Discrimination and self-discipline are not Reed's strong points.

Though he may be as intelligent as anyone else, he does not really have a rational, logical approach toward life, and trying to reach Jerry through logical arguments is often futile. His feelings, intuition, and heart, not his head, lead him, which may infuriate or bewilder Reed's more rational friends. Jerry Reed certainly recognizes that there is much more to life than can be explained intellectually and categorized into neat little boxes, and Jerry Reed has an open, receptive attitude toward such areas as psychic phenomena, telepathy, parapsychology, etc. He is not as structured and rigid in his attitudes as many people are, which enables Jerry Reed to see many different points of view and to accept all of them as valid. This can lead to vagueness, uncertainty, and confusion on his part - or to a very flexible and holistic way of approaching any issue.

Jerry Reed appears sympathetic and approachable. Because he uses his feelings and intuition to assess people, others sense that Reed understands their feelings or their personal situations. At the same time Jerry Reed really wants people to know how he feels, and their care and support are very important to him.

Jerry Reed comes across as unusual, highly independent, and free spirited. There is a touch of brilliance and creative genius in his demeanor. He is also restless and easily distracted, and tends to fly from one thing to another, which may leave the impression that Reed is unreliable.
