Julie Christie
approach to life and appearances

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

Julie Christie appears gentle and soft, and she acts rather reserved with others until she knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Julie has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: her 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 her. Christie tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Christie.

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

Her emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Julie's thoughts and opinions. She views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach herself from her own personal bias and prejudices. She is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects her and those dear and close to her, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, she 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 Julie and her near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for her and her near and dear ones, it is no good.

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

Her moods fluctuate and change frequently and she is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Julie Christie communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

Julie never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to her.

She is extremely willful, but she often achieves her desires in a quiet, secretive, or manipulative way. She may be intensely charismatic and wield considerable influence over others, or she may be attracted to similarly powerful, fascinating personalities. Julie Christie tends to go to extremes in whatever she does, to be compulsive, and she is driven by a sense of mission or destiny. Julie does not take anything at face value and is always digging beneath the surface for the deeper meaning or real motivations of others.

Julie Christie appears sympathetic and approachable. Because she uses her feelings and intuition in assessing people, others sense that Christie understands their feelings or their personal situations. At the same time Julie Christie really wants people to know how she feels, and their care and support are very important to her.

Bright, alert, quick of tongue and/or of movement, there is youthfulness about Julie's manner and appearance regardless of her chronological age. Julie Christie also always appears busy and active, and somewhat restless. Christie needs mental stimulation from her environment, or she will rapidly get bored.

Christie's intellect and her emotions are well balanced. Julie has the ability to manage her feelings superbly and have a cautious, adaptable and open way about her. Julie Christie likes to associate with the public and has an understanding for the "man on the street".
