Polly Holliday approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Polly's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Polly Holliday comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Polly Holliday - 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 Polly Holliday" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Polly a little better. This page describes the disguise Holliday wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
She is a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and prepared to see the other side of an issue. Even if she strongly disagrees with someone, Polly Holliday will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. She often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. Polly has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. Polly Holliday very much wants to be liked and because of her need for approval and acceptance, Holliday is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. She so much wants to please that often Polly Holliday will suppress her own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others. Sometimes Holliday's politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.
Her need to create harmony extends to her physical environment and personal appearance as well. Polly Holliday appreciates beauty and has a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. She does everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From her home furnishings to her choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.
She also feels that relationships are a form of art - one that Holliday is especially interested in and usually quite skilled at, for Polly possesses tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to her and finding the right person to share her life with is extremely important. Being part of a close relationship seems natural to Polly Holliday - she is not an independent loner. Having a partner increases her self-confidence. Polly Holliday does have a tendency, however, to become overly dependent on her partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being herself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for Polly.
Others see Polly Holliday as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice" person. Though there may be much more to her, this is the sort of face Holliday shows to the world. She possesses personal charm and an understated, non-combative manner. Her motto could be "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar" for Polly Holliday usually adopts a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.
Despite the fact that her core self is quite distinct from the face the world generally sees, Polly Holliday has a strong desire to be seen and recognized, to be acknowledged, and to have a significant impact on people in her environment. She may do remarkable things in order to be noticed. However, Polly Holliday often does not get the full recognition she yearns for.
She may be seen as the wild card, the unpredictable or kooky one, because occasionally Polly Holliday does surprising things that are either totally out of character or are actually intended to shock people. There is an erratic quality or rebelliousness that comes across at odd moments. It seems to be Polly's role to shake things up a bit and she may not be entirely comfortable with this herself.
