Laurence Olivier
in Relationships

He is very sensitive, cautious, and shy about showing others his feelings. Though he may love and care for someone a great deal, Laurence Olivier rarely expresses those feelings openly and freely. Very often Olivier's love for someone will be expressed by trying to help them, doing something tangible to benefit them, or serving them in some way.

It is also difficult for him to receive warmth, affection, or appreciation, for he often feels that he does not really deserve it or that "they do not really mean it". Olivier can therefore seem rather cool and aloof, much more so than he feels.

His love feelings and desires are easily aroused but it may be difficult to sustain his romantic interest in relationships after the initial, exciting "chase and conquest".
