Melissa Mathison approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Melissa's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Melissa Mathison comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Melissa Mathison - 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 Melissa Mathison" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Melissa a little better. This page describes the disguise Mathison 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, Melissa Mathison always sees the flaws in it and how it could be improved. Often Mathison will simply refuse to attempt something because she feels she cannot meet her own high standards.
Melissa Mathison 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. Melissa Mathison also has refined sensitivities and is very discriminating and particular in her choice of foods, clothes, friends, artwork, etc. Order in Mathison's environment is very important to Mathison.
Mathison 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. Melissa Mathison 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, Melissa rarely falls flat on her face and what she does, she does very well.
Others see Melissa Mathison as a self-sufficient and rather self-contained person. Mathison 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. Melissa 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.
Melissa Mathison appears to have a very honorable and generous attitude toward others, as if she had their best interest at heart. Because others view Mathison as a tolerant, understanding and even wise person, they may also seek her counsel.
Melissa has an appealing physical appearance, which - along with her winning ways - is likely to make her a favorite in her immediate environment. Melissa Mathison is the "easy" one, and she knows how to please others. However, Mathison must not take her personal charm for granted, because she may also come across as vain or too needy for approval.
Melissa Mathison comes across as unusual, highly independent, and free spirited. There is a touch of brilliance and creative genius in her demeanor. She is also restless and easily distracted, and tends to fly from one thing to another, which may leave the impression that Mathison is unreliable.
