Winona Ryder is extremely compassionate and cannot bear to see any fellow creature - human or animal - suffer.

Sometimes Ryder's soft-heartedness is taken advantage of.

She is a gentle, poetic soul and has a great love and affinity for music. Because many of her feelings are vague and she cannot easily verbalize how she experiences life, music seems a natural language for Ryder. She is also extremely romantic and often "in love with love".

Winona Ryder often makes decisions solely for emotional or personal reasons, because something "feels right" or because she has always done it a certain way and she is uncomfortable changing it.

Winona Ryder often feels that she must do something or be something other than what she is in order to receive approval and acceptance from others. She is very sensitive to criticism and easily feels left out or neglected, and though she may appear cool or distant, Ryder actually cares very much about being included. Because she is so sensitive, it may seem easier for Winona Ryder to withdraw into a shell rather than risk the emotional bumps and bruises she may endure once she lets others really know her in an intimate, personal way. Her reserve and caution make establishing close emotional relationships with others difficult, and Winona Ryder becomes very attached to the few people she considers "real friends". Ryder can gain inner security and strength through periods of solitude if she views them as times to nourish herself and develop her own interests, rather than as times of loneliness.

She is a dreamer who is attracted to the inner, mystical side of life, and may have trouble distinguishing the real from the imagined or illusory. Winona does not enjoy confrontation and becomes very evasive when problems in her personal life or relationships arise, and escapes into her imagination in order to avoid dealing with them directly. She is also rather gullible and naive about people, especially if her sympathy has been aroused. Winona Ryder is very sensitive to music and can use it to achieve emotional balance and harmony.
