Steve Martin
approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Steve's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Steve Martin comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Steve Martin - 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 Steve Martin" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Steve a little better. This page describes the disguise Martin wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Steve Martin 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. Martin 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 Steve does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.
Steve Martin 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. Martin will rarely confront the offender - he is too proud to do so - but he will lose his affection and respect for them. Steve dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.
Martin admires others who are strong individuals like himself. When Steve Martin befriends someone, Martin 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 - Steve expects recognition and appreciation for them. He also expects the intense loyalty that he offers to his dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Steve Martin 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.
Steve Martin has great heart and courage, and people often look to him for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. Steve always puts his best face forward and rarely allows others to see him hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Steve Martin 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 Steve more than anything else. Steve Martin feels that if he does his best where he is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.
He is extremely willful, but he often achieves his desires in a quiet, secretive, or manipulative way. He may be intensely charismatic and wield considerable influence over others, or he may be attracted to similarly powerful, fascinating personalities. Steve Martin tends to go to extremes in whatever he does, to be compulsive, and he is driven by a sense of mission or destiny. Steve does not take anything at face value and is always digging beneath the surface for the deeper meaning or real motivations of others.
His emotional responses, feelings, and prejudices come across to others quite clearly and Steve Martin could be seen as a rather moody, inconsistent creature. On the other hand, he is not impersonal or removed, so people are drawn to confide in him. At times Martin may wish he was not so easy to read.
Steve Martin tends to blend in with and take on the characteristics of the people in his surroundings, and may thus not make a powerful individual statement of his own. He may project an aura of glamour or "make-believe", and enjoy trying on different personalities at different times.
He is discrete, tactful and adaptable, and has the ability to create a beautiful environment. Steve Martin has a knack for entertaining people and appreciates pleasing manners and proper behavior when he is with others.
Steve Martin has a strong desire to constantly be in the limelight and he considers second place already as failure. Very self-confident, Martin has the ability to mold his surrounding to his own needs and is likely to furnish his home according to his taste.
