Shelley Winters
in Relationships

Her desire for harmonious relationships and surroundings is so strong that she avoids personal confrontation or any expression of intense, unpleasant emotions. Shelley Winters is an idealist who would like to paint the world in pastel colors, and live in peace and harmony with others at all times. She is able to see points of similarity and unity with people who are vastly different from her, and befriend many different types of people. She is a considerate and thoughtful friend, and has a real flair for making others feel accepted and appreciated. Inwardly, Shelley Winters is often torn with indecision and is much more at odds with herself than others would ever guess based on her flawless disposition.

She is emotionally expressive and often dramatizes her feelings, acting them out or blowing them out of proportion. Shelley Winters cannot hide her instinctive emotional reactions to people or situations, and she does not make any pretenses about her personal sympathies or antipathies.

Shelley Winters has a childlike openness and playfulness which is very appealing to others, but which sometimes gets her into trouble, as Shelley takes risks on impulse or whim.

She is quietly devoted and faithful to her loved ones and often becomes subservient to her love partner. Shelley Winters is more comfortable showing her love by doing or making something for her loved one, or simply being there for her, rather than by making any romantic, soul-stirring declarations. She is timid about expressing too much sentiment or emotion. Shelley Winters also underestimates her attractiveness and lovability and doubts her own worthiness of love and appreciation.

A warm, loving, and comfortable home is very important to Shelley Winters and she invests a lot of her energy into beautifying, decorating, and creating a lovely home. Also, Shelley shares her affection with the people in her family very generously and having close family relationships is a major priority for her. Being at home makes Winters happy.

Intimacy does not come easily to Shelley Winters and she may appear cold or unfeeling to others due to her emotional reserve and caution. Perhaps due to painful relationships and separations in her early life, Winters does not trust others very easily and it takes a long time to break down all of her barriers and defenses. She may feel that she has few friends or people that really care about her. Shelley Winters needs to learn to value and love herself more and to express her appreciation for others more openly.

When it comes to love relationships, Winters is likely to feel pulled in several directions at once. In addition to her desire for depth and security in her relationships, Shelley Winters has an impulsive side and a need for a lot of variety and excitement, as discussed in the following paragraphs. These urges do not have to conflict, but they certainly can, especially if Shelley acts on her spontaneous impulses without much consideration for their long-term effects on her personal life.

Shelley Winters is not a traditionalist where love and relationships are concerned, and she often feels that formal commitments and conventional relationships are too binding and restricting. Thus, Shelley is not very comfortable with forming lasting attachments or letting other people depend on her. She may be attracted to wild, unreliable, highly creative and/or unstable people who do not offer her any security. Even if Shelley Winters professes to want something steady and solid, she is very reluctant to give up her freedom and autonomy for its sake. At best, she is suited to serial monogamy or relationships that leave Winters a lot of breathing space.

Her romantic relationships tend to be deep, intense, passionate, and highly emotional. It is "all or nothing" with her. Oftentimes Shelley Winters is irresistibly attracted to someone and feels that she has very little choice or control over her powerful feelings.

She may well be highly magnetic and sexually attractive herself. Shelley Winters should beware of using this power to manipulate people, for she could gain the reputation of being a "user".

Shelley Winters seems to have an unusual power of attraction to other people and frequently may associate with others whether they are good for her or not. Very compulsive in love relationships, Winters could have a kind of tragic love union.
