Kristy McNichol
approach to life and appearances

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

High-spirited, enthusiastic, and exuberant, Kristy 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. Kristy McNichol 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. Kristy McNichol 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. Kristy McNichol 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. Kristy McNichol has great faith in life and she bounces back quickly from disappointment and failure.

Freedom loving and independent, Kristy McNichol 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 Kristy 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 Kristy McNichol 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. McNichol 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 Kristy McNichol 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.

Kristy McNichol has a rather generous, open, broad-minded demeanor, and she likes to do things in a big way. If she does this primarily to impress others, Kristy will find that many people prefer to avoid her. Even without meaning to, McNichol can seem a bit arrogant or preachy.

There is an intense and somewhat secretive or guarded quality about Kristy McNichol which may make people around her distinctly uncomfortable. They may feel that Kristy is constantly monitoring their inner motives, and she probably is. McNichol sees through anything phony, any false pretense - and she may or may not be above using others' Achilles' heels (which she perceives so clearly) against them. At times, however, Kristy McNichol may be too suspicious and assign negative intentions to innocent people. Kristy should avoid always looking on the dark side.

Kristy often comes across to others more abruptly or even antagonistically than necessary to achieve her aims. And naturally, if people perceive that she is trying to compete with them or run them over, some of them will strongly resist Kristy McNichol and her objectives. McNichol might be more successful if she tones herself down a bit and shows some consideration, without completely sacrificing her own needs and wants.

McNichol is likely to go her own way in life and she has a tendency to stay secluded from others. Kristy McNichol is always preoccupied with her own thoughts and ideas and gives other people the impression that she does not want to be bothered with their problems.
