Montgomery has high standards for relationships, and he may not realize that it is more difficult for others to meet these standards than for him.

Harmony and balance are his keynotes. Montgomery Clift instinctively understands the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and he is always fair and willing to meet others half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Montgomery does all he can to avoid conflict and discord. His spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and he often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Clift since he can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make his own decisions.
