Sidney Webb
approach to life and appearances

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

He 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 he strongly disagrees with someone, Sidney Webb will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. He often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. Sidney has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. Sidney Webb very much wants to be liked and because of his need for approval and acceptance, Webb is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. He so much wants to please that often Sidney Webb will suppress his own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others. Sometimes Webb's politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.

His need to create harmony extends to his physical environment and personal appearance as well. Sidney Webb appreciates beauty and has a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. He does everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From his home furnishings to his choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.

He also feels that relationships are a form of art - one that Webb is especially interested in and usually quite skilled at, for Sidney possesses tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to him and finding the right person to share his life with is extremely important. Being part of a close relationship seems natural to Sidney Webb - he is not an independent loner. Having a partner increases his self-confidence. Sidney Webb does have a tendency, however, to become overly dependent on his partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being himself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for Sidney.

Others see Sidney Webb as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice" person. Though there may be much more to him, this is the sort of face Webb shows to the world. He possesses personal charm and an understated, non-combative manner. His motto could be "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar" for Sidney Webb usually adopts a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.

Sidney Webb comes across to others as intelligent, alert, articulate, knowledgeable, and communicative. He is quite curious and interested in the people and events around him, and cannot resist commenting about them.

Webb also needs to be busy and active, and he moves quickly. Sidney Webb also appears to be restless. Keeping his mind or hands occupied helps with that.

Sidney Webb appears responsible, conscientious, and solid - qualities which encourage others to take him seriously. He is unlikely to present himself as more than he is, and this humility is often endearing, or at least appealing, to others. Even as a youth, Sidney Webb seemed mature for his age.

Sidney has strong leadership qualities and finds it natural to take charge of his family environment. He throws himself wholeheartedly into all his affairs, does not like others to make demands on him, but Sidney Webb will willingly give of his in most situations.

Webb strongly resents daily routine and is always ready and willing to challenge life. Responding quickly to people around him, Sidney Webb spontaneously connect with them and tends to become stimulated through them.
