Mary Carey
approach to life and appearances

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

Modest, unobtrusive, and often rather quiet or shy, she is a person who is content to stay in the background or to serve as an assistant, in the supporting role rather than in the lead. She is quite humble in her own assessment of herself; she seeks perfection, with a tendency to be overly self-critical. No matter how well she does something, Mary Carey always sees the flaws in it and how it could be improved. Often Carey will simply refuse to attempt something because she feels she cannot meet her own high standards.

Mary Carey has an eye for detail and she gets upset when something is not done just so, usually something others consider rather inconsequential or trivial. She is hard to please and her relationships with others may suffer because of this. Mary Carey also has refined sensitivities and is very discriminating and particular in her choice of foods, clothes, friends, artwork, etc. Order in Carey's environment is very important to Carey.

Carey steps into situations rather cautiously, and not without realistically assessing all of the risks and potential advantages involved. Unless something is a safe bet, she is unlikely to dive into it. Mary Carey tends to underestimate her own capacities and to lack confidence and trust in life, which inhibits her spontaneity. Worrying is a bad habit of hers. On the other hand, Mary rarely falls flat on her face and what she does, she does very well.

Others see Mary Carey as a self-sufficient and rather self-contained person. Carey has a strong sense of propriety. Politeness, good manners, and correct behavior are important to her. Her clear, cool, objective and non-emotional attitude is apparent to others first, and though she is really quite helpful and caring, she does not radiate much sympathy and as a result, others may not see the helpful side as readily. Mary may seem more businesslike and factual as well as more conservative than she really is at heart. She is the person others might go to for technical advice or an unbiased opinion, but not for emotional support.

She is keenly observant, intelligent, and has a great desire for learning and for self-improvement, but she is not especially ambitious and is often satisfied with a rather simple, unglamorous position in life.

She is easily excitable and could find it difficult to sit still. Carey always has something going on and is not afraid to take chances. Mary Carey takes the initiative and has the ability to stimulate and sweep others along.

Mary Carey has a tendency to react violently to the influence of her surroundings and to throw herself headlong into everything she does, suffering the consequences later on. Until Mary learns to alter her conduct, there are likely to be many upsets in her relationships.

She is charming and friendly to everyone, but may prefer more superficial and frequently changing relationships with people rather than steady and lasting friendships. Some of her meetings with others could come about suddenly.
