Kurt Russell
approach to life and appearances

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

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

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

Kurt never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to him.

Despite the fact that his core self is quite a bit different from the face the world generally sees, Kurt Russell has a strong desire to be seen and recognized, to be acknowledged, and to have a significant influence on people in his environment. He may do remarkable things in order to be noticed. However, Kurt Russell often does not get the full recognition he wishes for.

He may come across a bit scattered, nervous, or restless, as if he cannot sit still. Kurt Russell seems alert and quick, but sometimes a bit on edge. Kurt tends to stay perpetually busy, and would find handiwork of some kind to be soothing.

Kurt Russell appears contained, and perhaps wary or mistrustful as well. He watches his step, and frequently withdraws if his environment does not feel welcoming and safe. As a result, Russell may seem much more conservative than he actually is. Kurt fears making mistakes in social situations, and is extremely sensitive to criticism or rejection. As he matures, Kurt Russell is likely to grow in confidence, because he will learn to depend more on his own evaluation of himself.

Russell is likely to go his own way in life and he ha a tendency to keep secluded from others. Always preoccupied with his own thoughts and ideas, Kurt Russell gives other people the impression that he does not want to be bothered with their problems.
