Pat Buchanan
approach to life and appearances

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

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Pat Buchanan likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. He is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. He is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Buchanan must have something of his own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that he can develop and manage according to his own will and vision. Whatever Pat does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.

Pat Buchanan also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats him in a humiliating or dishonorable way. Buchanan will rarely confront the offender - he is too proud to do so - but he will lose his affection and respect for them. Pat dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.

Buchanan admires others who are strong individuals like himself. When Pat Buchanan befriends someone, Buchanan is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. He is very giving and generous, but his gifts are never anonymous - Pat expects recognition and appreciation for them. He also expects the intense loyalty that he offers to his dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Pat Buchanan often has trouble developing relationships with people who are as strong as himself, for he does not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If he is not in the leading role, he aspires to be and will compete with the person who is.

Pat Buchanan has great heart and courage, and people often look to him for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. Pat always puts his best face forward and rarely allows others to see him hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Pat Buchanan also has a very strong need for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although he does not like others to realize just how important it is to him.

His outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. His own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interest Pat more than anything else. Pat Buchanan feels that if he does his best where he is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.

Pat Buchanan appears to have a very honorable and generous attitude toward others, as if he has their best interests at heart. Because others view Buchanan as a tolerant, understanding, and even wise person, they may also turn to him for counsel.

He may come across a bit scattered, nervous, or restless, as if he cannot sit still. Pat Buchanan seems alert and quick, but sometimes a bit on edge. Pat tends to stay perpetually busy, and would find handiwork of some kind to be soothing.
