Jon Peters
approach to life and appearances

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

Jon Peters appears gentle and soft, and he acts rather reserved with others until he knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Jon has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: his heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for him. Peters tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Peters.

Peters approaches life emotionally and subjectively and he is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around him. Instinctive and non-rational, Jon Peters is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for his actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.

His emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Jon's thoughts and opinions. He views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach himself from his own personal bias and prejudices. He is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects him and those dear and close to him, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, he may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Jon and his near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for him and his near and dear ones, it is no good.

He is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those he cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Jon Peters empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, he is easily moved by others' pain, and Jon Peters is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.

His moods fluctuate and change frequently and he is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Jon Peters communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

Jon never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to him.

Jon Peters has a mature and rather heavy, solemn demeanor, and he tends to take himself and life too seriously. He possesses a great deal of self-control, self-discipline, and a very dominant conscience. He may be dogged by feelings of personal inadequacy and inhibition. Jon Peters seems authoritarian to others.

Jon Peters is extremely sensitive to all of the incoming impressions and energies around him, and at times he can be overcome or dominated by more forceful personalities. Learning to establish clear boundaries is important for him, as Jon Peters tends to become enmeshed emotionally and/or psychically with whomever he is with. He may have the chameleon's trait of seeming to become the people or person he is with the most.

Peters is cheerful, warm-hearted and social and he strives for a pleasant life. He likes to be seen in social circles and is charitable to his fellow man. It makes Jon Peters happy to be involved in many relationships and he is very sympathetic toward everyone.

He is self-assured and confident in dealing with others and has a positive influence on his environment. Jon Peters is able to work well with others in a team effort, and advantages through other people could come to him frequently.
