Troy Garity
approach to life and appearances

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

He is very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know well. Behind Garity's quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination. When Troy Garity wants something he goes after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and what Troy Garity wants, Troy Garity usually gets.

He is not a person who lives haphazardly or superficially. Troy wants to live passionately and intensely and is not averse to challenge, danger, or to facing the darker side of life - human pain and struggle. Troy Garity functions well in crisis situations and he often seeks them out, for he enjoys the feeling of living at full capacity.

He is very intuitive about other people and especially about their unspoken feelings and hidden motives. Troy Garity usually has strong, immediate gut reactions, either positive or negative, which prove to be correct. Garity approaches life very instinctively and is not always fully conscious of why he feels or acts the way he does. Troy Garity also has a very strong affinity with animals - an acute sensitivity and a nonverbal rapport with them.

In new relationships he is rather cautious, sometimes even suspicious, until he gets to know and trust someone - and trust does not come easily to Garity. When Troy Garity commits himself emotionally to someone, be it friend or lover, he is intensely loyal and devoted to them and he also expects the same kind of unwavering, undying loyalty in return. If he is ever betrayed by someone he cares deeply for, Troy Garity is capable of hating and retaliating with as much fervor as he once loved. Nothing is done halfway. In fact, he is intensely involved and often jealously attached to whatever he cares about, be it person, idea, or cause. There is definitely a streak of emotional fanaticism in him.

Because of his natural reserve, others may see Troy Garity as something of an enigma. He is quite self-protective and often defensive. Troy Garity also has a very magnetic quality, especially to members of the opposite sex.

He may come across a bit scattered, nervous, or restless, as if he cannot sit still. Troy Garity seems alert and quick, but sometimes a bit on edge. Troy tends to stay perpetually busy, and would find handiwork of some kind to be soothing.

Other people may consider his environment a bit strange and Garity likes to surround himself with a certain air of mystery. Troy Garity tends to be very secretive and is likely to exert his power from behind the scenes.
