Your first name of Alderic creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. Your feelings are very easily hurt and to protect yourself you withdraw within the realms of your own private thoughts and shut out the rest of the world. From an early age you have desired a home, family, and related responsibilities, and although you are not demonstrative in your affections you have a strong sense of love and protection for those in your care. A quick learner, you may be resented by those whose mental processes are slower, and be misjudged as a "know it all. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. You are rather studious, mentally challenging each new idea before accepting it. You are sensitive to harmony or discord in the home and workplace, and intuitive to how you are regarded by others. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. Your sensitivity and lack of verbal expression frustrate and limit the satisfaction in life to be gained from your responsible and capable nature. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love.
