The name of Yoshio has given you the desire for creative, artistic or musical expression in an original way. As your independence and freedom are very important, you will seldom tolerate limitations. Because you like to get your own way, and your name makes it difficult for you to see things from other points of view, others accuse you of obstinacy or self-centredness. With increased familiarity you are inclined to speak your mind in a forthright, sometimes argumentative manner which creates annoyance and often hard feelings. You could be inventive and ingenious along practical lines. You do not depend on others for encouragement, but you respond to appreciation and enjoy being the centre of attention. Although you are congenial in the early stages of friendships, it is not easy for you to maintain relaxed, harmonious relationships because, through increasing familiarity, you are inclined to lack patience, to be intolerant, and to speak your mind in a frank, argumentative, and occasionally hurtful manner. You strive to be different and have the self-confidence to implement your ideas because you have the perseverance necessary to see something through, despite obstacles. At times when your expressive urges seem to be bottled up, you experience stress and react to others critically instead of handling situations in a relaxed, cheerful manner. This name does not offer the softness of expression for long-lasting compatibility in close associations.
