Rudolf Nureyev approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Rudolf's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Rudolf Nureyev comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Rudolf Nureyev - 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 Rudolf Nureyev" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Rudolf a little better. This page describes the disguise Nureyev wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Rudolf Nureyev appears gentle and soft, and he acts rather reserved with others until he knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Rudolf has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: his heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for him. Nureyev tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Nureyev.
Nureyev approaches life emotionally and subjectively and he is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around him. Instinctive and non-rational, Rudolf Nureyev is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for his actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.
His emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Rudolf's thoughts and opinions. He views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach himself from his own personal bias and prejudices. He is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects him and those dear and close to him, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, he may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Rudolf and his near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for him and his near and dear ones, it is no good.
He is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those he cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Rudolf Nureyev empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, he is easily moved by others' pain, and Rudolf Nureyev is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.
His moods fluctuate and change frequently and he is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Rudolf Nureyev communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.
Rudolf never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to him.
Rudolf Nureyev radiates a sense of pride, self-assurance and a definite awareness of his own importance. It is hard to ignore Nureyev when he is present, and his personality may overshadow or dominate the scene.
Rudolf Nureyev tends to blend in with, and assume the characteristics of those around him, and may thus not make a powerful individual statement of his own. He may project an aura of glamour or "make-believe" and enjoy donning different personalities at different times.
At times his desire to impress other people, or be important or popular may make Nureyev do things that go against his better judgment. Even Rudolf's sincere attempts to be generous or helpful may be misinterpreted, or seen as pompousness or interference. Rudolf Nureyev needs to be aware of his tendency to overdo - to go all out - even when it is not appropriate.
Rudolf has strong leadership qualities and finds it natural to take charge of his family environment. He throws himself wholeheartedly into all of his endeavors and does not like others to make demands on him, but Rudolf Nureyev will willingly give of himself in most situations.
