Shirley MacLaine
in Relationships

She is very sensitive, cautious, and shy about showing others her feelings. Though she may love and care for someone a great deal, Shirley MacLaine rarely expresses her feelings openly and freely. Very often MacLaine's love for someone is expressed by her wish to help her, do something tangible to benefit her or serve her in some way.

It is also difficult for her to receive warmth, affection or appreciation, for she often feels that she does not really deserve it or that "they do not really mean it". MacLaine may therefore come across as rather cool and aloof - much more so than she feels.

A deeply ingrained critical attitude often makes Shirley difficult to live with. Shirley MacLaine needs to learn to be gentler and less of a perfectionist with others and with herself.

Her own feelings and emotions are something of an enigma to Shirley, and it is often difficult for her to share with others what she is feeling.

Shirley MacLaine frequently withdraws from contact with the world, and needs a healing, peaceful environment in order to blossom and come out of hers.

MacLaine identifies with the oppressed, disenfranchised or underdog in any situation and she wants to help them or care for them in some way.

She is a sensitive soul and a dreamer who is very much attuned to the world of imagination and fantasy. Shirley MacLaine often retreats into her own inner world in order to escape the harshness of everyday living in the "real world". Gentle and often rather passive as well, she will not fight or assert herself, even when she needs to. Shirley MacLaine is very sympathetic and somewhat naive emotionally and must guard against being taken advantage of.

She is inclined to identify duty and happiness with each other. Self-disciplined and realistic, Shirley MacLaine expects very little. Once she has found her mate, Shirley MacLaine will be faithful, self-sacrificing and strongly attached to her partner.

Tremendously softhearted and sympathetic, Shirley MacLaine gives very selflessly and devotedly to those she loves and often allows others to become overly dependent upon her. More compassionate than passionate, Shirley MacLaine may become romantically involved with a person because she or she expresses a need for love, rather than out of mutual pleasure or attraction.

She is drawn to sensitive, imaginative, gentle souls - poets, musicians, dreamers - or to someone Shirley feels she can have a deep spiritual relationship with. Shirley MacLaine idealizes love and has a very beautiful, romantic vision of what love relationships can be.

When she cares about someone, Shirley MacLaine likes to serve them by doing small thoughtful favors, helping them, or doing something tangible to show her affection.

Shirley MacLaine has also considerable artistic or creative skill. In fact, Shirley is suited for a profession involving beauty or pleasure or making people happy in some way.

Her tastes and natural inclinations run toward the extravagant and luxurious. Whether or not Shirley MacLaine possesses the resources to satisfy these desires or the ambition to provide these things for herself, she wants a life with plenty, ease, and comfort. Shirley may cause trouble in her love relationships by focusing too much attention on money or "lifestyle" rather than on the person she is with. Shirley MacLaine may also attract gold diggers or parasites who will take advantage of her hospitality as long as she allows them to. Indiscretion in matters of both heart and pocketbook can be problems as well.

Shirley MacLaine loves deeply, passionately and wholeheartedly, and others may find her intensity either extremely attractive or threatening. She is charismatic and can have a powerful emotional impact on others, especially those of the opposite sex. MacLaine may use her attractiveness to manipulate others, sometimes without even realizing it.

She makes a good impression on others and tends to attract people who want to take care of her, which could cause Shirley MacLaine to become too dependent on others. Partnership is important to MacLaine, and she is inclined to change her ways just for the sake of love relationships.
