Leif Garrett
in Relationships

Secretive and inclined to brooding silences, it is difficult for others to really know his inner core, for Leif Garrett only trusts and opens himself to a select few. Allowing himself to be vulnerable and to relinquish control in relationships is not easy for Garrett.

Leif has intense, passionate loves and hates and is a jealously loyal and protective friend - or a fearsome foe. Leif Garrett has a nasty habit of holding onto past hurts, resentments and guilt - and to keep such feelings to himself. It is important for Leif Garrett to learn to forgive and let go, as well as to express his feelings openly and directly, rather than hiding or repressing them.

He is not content with superficial appearances and is always probing beneath the surface of things for hidden motives. Leif Garrett has a great deal of emotional depth.

He is likely to be a great collector of things - a real pack rat in fact - for his belongings give Leif Garrett a sense of security and continuity with the past, which is important to him. Antiques or things with sentimental value from Leif's past are especially dear to him.

Leif Garrett may also cling rather tightly to money and possessions, keeping them "in the family" rather than sharing freely with those outside of his immediate circle.

He is a sensitive soul and a dreamer who is very much attuned to the world of imagination and fantasy. Leif Garrett often retreats into his own inner world in order to escape the harshness of everyday living in the "real world". Gentle and often rather passive as well, he will not fight or assert himself, even when he needs to. Leif Garrett is very sympathetic and somewhat naive emotionally and must guard against being taken advantage of.

Leif has an optimistic outlook, good intuition and the ability to find and use opportunities to his advantage. His quick understanding of things allows Leif Garrett to see beyond ordinary limits, and he has the courage to exploit unexpected breaks.

He is inclined to be somewhat gloomy, is easily offended, and he tries to suppress the jealousy he may feel. Leif Garrett may have been brought up to sacrifice and forego a lot of things, making him a bit hard and unyielding in later life.

Leif Garrett possesses the gifts of tact, courtesy and consideration, and has a strong desire to please and understand his love partner. Because he values harmony so highly, Leif Garrett will compromise a great deal to avoid any discord or conflict in his relationships. Leif does not like to dwell on controversial or emotional subjects and often tries to "smooth things over" or "sweep them under the rug".

In love relationships, Leif Garrett wants an intellectual peer, an equal and a friend. He is attracted to people who have a certain finesse, delicacy and subtlety. Leif Garrett appreciates good manners and refinement and is not happy with coarseness or bluntness in a person.

Garrett is very much aware of his personal appearance, attractiveness, and charm, and he can be rather narcissistic. On the other hand, Leif Garrett is concerned with getting along with others and he has a pleasing, agreeable manner that people find quite appealing. Leif uses tact or charm to get what he wants rather than intense effort or force. His desire for love and affection colors everything Leif Garrett does.

Leif Garrett shares whatever he has freely and his friends know they can always count on Leif's generosity and support - both emotional and material. His good-hearted acceptance and tolerance of others' foibles goes a long way toward maintaining harmony in his relationships. Leif Garrett also has a lazy streak and sometimes avoids confronting difficult issues in relationships simply because it seems like too much trouble and too petty. Leif likes to socialize and will use any excuse to celebrate with friends. He cannot tolerate being overly restricted by his love partner, and encourages his partner's freedom as well.

Leif's pleasure-loving nature and his emotional and material generosity discussed above are counterbalanced by a certain caution or restraint in expressing his affection, and by a fear of heartache. At times Leif Garrett is likely to be the jovial, friendly, rather extravagant person mentioned previously, but at other times he is far more contained as described here. Because he is upbeat and fun-loving, people probably do not suspect how sensitive Garrett is to being left out or unappreciated.

He is serious and finds it difficult to enjoy himself in a lighthearted, open and playful way with others. Leif Garrett rarely does something purely for pleasure, and can be very close-fisted and parsimonious. Perhaps due to painful separations in his early life, Leif is very cautious about becoming involved in close relationships and sharing his feelings. Though Garrett craves love and affection, intimacy is difficult for him. He may become romantically involved with people who do not value him or treat him well. Leif Garrett needs to learn to love and value himself before he finds happiness in love.

When it comes to love relationships, Garrett is likely to feel pulled in several directions at once. In addition to his desire for depth and security in his relationships, Leif Garrett has an impulsive side and a need for a lot of variety and excitement, as discussed in the following paragraphs. These urges do not have to conflict, but they certainly can, especially if Leif acts on his spontaneous impulses without much consideration for their long-term effects on his personal life.

He needs a lot of emotional and romantic stimulation, and may not be very interested in having just one mate or love partner. Variety, excitement, spontaneity, and freedom are quite important to Leif, and "settling down" is not that appealing. Leif Garrett tends to surround himself with unusual, creative, unconventional people that keep his life lively. Music or dancing or both play an important part in Garrett's life.

Leif Garrett tends to be somewhat hypocritical and artificial and may even fool himself at times. His desires are likely to be a bit unrealistic and he may tries to hide his deception from others as well as from himself.
