Your first name of Arelissa has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. You tend to scatter your efforts, often not finishing what you start, particularly when the task becomes mundane. On the other hand, among friends with whom you feel at ease, you are expressive, witty, and quite charming. If you are not careful, people take advantage of your generous nature. You enjoy reading and can become so absorbed that you are unaware of what is happening around you. When you feel misunderstood, you become very reserved and quiet, and do not want to be with people. You long for love and affection and for your sensitive feelings to be understood. In a large group of comparative strangers, you are quiet and rather shy, unable to express yourself, not really wanting to become involved in conversation. You find the beauties of nature, fine music, art, and literature--all the deeper things of life--inspiring. The reserved, sensitive side of your nature brings aloneness and friction into your life, although you crave affection and understanding.
