Laurie Anderson
in Relationships

Serious and responsible, she tries to carry the world on her shoulders and rarely lets others know that she needs help and support. Laurie Anderson denies or ignores her own emotional needs and feels that others will not accept her if she appears "weak". She is especially uncomfortable with emotional dependency, and tells herself and others (even children) not to be a "baby". Laurie Anderson needs to accept that no one is self-sufficient all the time, and to be gentler with her "childish" emotional needs and wants. To others, she may appear to be rather hard-nosed and tough, with a businesslike attitude toward their personal concerns and feelings. Actually, no one is a truer friend. Her feelings and loyalties run deep, but she often does not let people know how much she cares. Laurie Anderson also sometimes needs to learn to relax, enjoy herself, and play.

Laurie has strong attachments to her past, the place where she grew up, her heritage, and family traditions. In fact, Laurie Anderson may be unable to step out of the habits and roles that she learned as a child. Anderson's tie to her mother is very strong and Laurie Anderson also seeks nurturing and protection from her spouse and other family members as well.

Anderson can be hard to get close to. Subconsciously she may feel that too much closeness in her relationships will interfere with doing what she needs to do and being her own person, so Laurie Anderson puts up subtle walls and distance herself when someone begins to want more of her than she can comfortably give. However, Anderson may cut off sources of emotional nourishment and support that way, and end up feeling alone and lonely. Laurie Anderson might even develop digestive problems. Overcoming her fears of intimacy, while at the same time affirming and acting on her autonomous needs, is the challenge here.

She is a dreamer who is attracted to the inner, mystical side of life, and may have trouble distinguishing the real from the imagined or illusory. Laurie does not enjoy confrontation and becomes very evasive when problems in her personal life or relationships arise, and escapes into her imagination in order to avoid dealing with them directly. She is also rather gullible and naive about people, especially if her sympathy has been aroused. Laurie Anderson is very sensitive to music and can use it to achieve emotional balance and harmony.

Laurie Anderson tends to be emotional inhibited when she is with others and therefore appear rather aloof. Although she may feel lonely, Laurie is inclined to flee from crowds of people and to give the impression of needing protection.

Emotionally, she is very vulnerable and tends to have her feelings hurt quite easily. She is very impressionable and inclined to suffer states of melancholy or depression. Laurie Anderson may choose a profession where she is allowed to be her own boss.

In love relationships, Laurie Anderson is steadfast and loyal, especially if she has a warm, demonstrative partner. She is very sensual in nature and craves plenty of touching and physical affection. Laurie enjoys being pampered with a good meal, a loving massage or other sensual delights. She is a wonderful lover who is very attentive to the comfort and enjoyment of her loved one. Laurie Anderson responds intensely to beauty and physical appearance, and the physical attractiveness of her partner is very important to her.

Laurie is attracted to foreigners, exotic places, traveling, and to people who can expand her horizons, teach her something, or show Anderson places and worlds she has never experienced before. Sharing a philosophy or ideal with her love partner is important to her.

Also, Laurie Anderson feels love and kinship for people everywhere, not only with her own family, nationality, or group. Finding similarities and making links between people from differing backgrounds or with different perspectives is a gift of hers.

Money is liable to be an issue in her life, not because she does not have it, but because Laurie Anderson cannot or will not hold onto it. Laurie Anderson has a freehanded, generous, open attitude and would prefer to spend and enjoy and partake in the pleasures of the moment than to save, discipline or budget herself. At Anderson's worst, she wants an easy ride and friends will often let Laurie freeload because she is such an agreeable, friendly and pleasant sort. Alternatively, Anderson could let other people take advantage of her hospitality and tolerance.

Anderson also avoids confronting difficult issues in relationships simply because it is too much trouble or too petty. Laurie Anderson just wants to have a good time.

Somewhat over-enthusiastic in matters of love relationships, Laurie Anderson could fall in love with the wrong person. She may be too selfless and have the illusion that her only need in relationships is to make the other person happy, leading to disappointments and regrets.
