T.S. Eliot
in Relationships

Thomas does not appear to be an intensely emotional or sentimental person, and he is often unaware of his own or other people's deeper feelings and emotional needs. Tears and tantrums bewilder him and make him very uncomfortable. T. S. Eliot would rather settle differences by talking things out reasonably and rationally, but he tends to ignore or poke fun at any attempt to probe his own or others' inner depths.

T. S. Eliot avoids heavy, demanding emotional relationships and is wary of making personal commitments.

He needs ample mental stimulation and feels close to people with whom he can share thoughts and intellectual interests. Conversation is very important to Eliot. The strong, silent partner is not for him.

Though he wants close relationships very much, T. S. Eliot often closes himself off and does not really trust others who may wish to get to know him. Eliot is very wholehearted in his feelings and responses to people, and he wants all or nothing from the people he cares for.

T. S. Eliot takes offense rather quickly and his instincts are to fight, defend or act first, and ask questions later. He has a tendency for impatience, irritability and outbursts of temper, especially in response to minor frustrations. When he is not actively involved, he is not comfortable. T. S. Eliot actually prefers a rather rambunctious, feisty, competitive atmosphere to a peaceful one.

Although Eliot gets hot under the collar rather easily (as mentioned above), he also has a certain degree of emotional self-control and composure which enables T. S. Eliot to rein in some of his more aggressive tendencies. This side of his is described below.

He is dedicated to the people he cares about and conscientious about meeting his responsibilities, especially to family. Family solidarity and cohesiveness are very important to T. S. Eliot and so, therefore, are the traditions, rituals, and memories that keep the bonds strong.

T. S. Eliot is apt to do more than his fair share in the family, to go the extra mile, but for the most part this is satisfying rather than burdensome to him.

In addition to Thomas' rather introverted, serious, or self-contained side, he has a wild streak and urge for emotional freedom that breaks through erratically. T. S. Eliot craves both stability and excitement, and the conflict between these two impulses can make Eliot rather tense and irritable. However, they can also balance one another. His more free and unpredictable side will now be described.

He is uninhibited and spontaneous and will often do something unexpected or humorous in order to loosen people up and get them out of their rut. T. S. Eliot craves emotional stimulation, excitement, surprises and anything new. Eliot also loves to feel free and unfettered.

T. S. Eliot possesses the gifts of tact, courtesy, consideration, and a strong desire to please and understand his love partner. Because he values harmony so much, T. S. Eliot will compromise a great deal to avoid any discord or conflict in his relationships. Thomas does not like to dwell on controversial or emotionally difficult subjects, and often tries to "smooth things over" or "sweep them under the rug".

In love relationships, T. S. Eliot wants an intellectual peer, an equal, and a friend. He is attracted to people who have a certain finesse, delicacy, and subtlety. T. S. Eliot appreciates good manners and refinement and is not happy with a coarse, blunt type of person.

T. S. Eliot often hides his affection, or finds his feelings difficult to express or get across to the person he loves. Being openly affectionate and trusting often does not seem safe to Thomas. He may feel his love will not be appreciated or reciprocated. T. S. Eliot may get involved in secret love relationships or fall in love with a person who is quite unavailable to him. Love and sacrifice often seem to go hand in hand for T. S. Eliot - having to give something up to be with the one he loves, or having to relinquish some person or some aspect of an important love relationship.
