Kate Capshaw
approach to life and appearances

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

Kate Capshaw 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. Kate 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. Capshaw tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Capshaw.

Capshaw 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, Kate Capshaw 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 Kate'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 Kate 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. Kate Capshaw empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, she is easily moved by others' pain, and Kate Capshaw 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. Kate Capshaw communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

Kate never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to her.

Kate Capshaw identifies with the progressive, innovative elements in society, and with being a rebel, reformer, nonconformist, or iconoclast. She enjoys being original, unpredictable, and spontaneous, and insists on doing whatever she wishes regardless of tradition, convention, or other people's wishes. Others see Kate Capshaw as "different" yet interesting and exciting.

Kate Capshaw 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. Being overly concerned with appearances and surface beauty is possible; and if so, Kate Capshaw may also seem vain and narcissistic to others.

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

She may feel that personal relationships are interfering with the pursuit of her goals and chooses to lead a life on her own. But at the same time Kate Capshaw often may feel lonely and alienated by others.
