Stephen Colbert
approach to life and appearances

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

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Stephen Colbert likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. He is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. He is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Colbert must have something of his own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that he can develop and manage according to his own will and vision. Whatever Stephen does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.

Stephen Colbert also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats him in a humiliating or dishonorable way. Colbert will rarely confront the offender - he is too proud to do so - but he will lose his affection and respect for them. Stephen dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.

Colbert admires others who are strong individuals like himself. When Stephen Colbert befriends someone, Colbert is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. He is very giving and generous, but his gifts are never anonymous - Stephen expects recognition and appreciation for them. He also expects the intense loyalty that he offers to his dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Stephen Colbert often has trouble developing relationships with people who are as strong as himself, for he does not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If he is not in the leading role, he aspires to be and will compete with the person who is.

Stephen Colbert has great heart and courage, and people often look to him for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. Stephen always puts his best face forward and rarely allows others to see him hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Stephen Colbert also has a very strong need for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although he does not like others to realize just how important it is to him.

His outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. His own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interest Stephen more than anything else. Stephen Colbert feels that if he does his best where he is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.

Stephen Colbert is extremely sensitive to all the impressions and energies around him and at times can be overcome or dominated by more forceful personalities. Learning to establish clear boundaries is important for him, as Stephen Colbert tends to become enmeshed emotionally and/or psychically with whomever he is with. He may have the chameleon's trait of appearing to become the people or person he is with the most.

His emotional instincts, feelings and intuition play a big part in the decisions Stephen Colbert makes and how he interacts with the world, and generally his feelings are quite accurate and helpful to him. Also, establishing emotional rapport with the people he meets day-to-day is rather easy for Colbert. Stephen Colbert appears somewhat sympathetic and concerned, so that others are drawn to him, especially when they need guidance or help.
