Your first name of Alape gives you a poised, gracious, and reserved nature. Light pleasantries and sociability do not appeal to you as much as reading, study, or outdoor activities. As you live much of the time within your own thoughts, someone can be speaking to you face to face, but you will be thinking about something entirely different and have closed out the conversation. If you sense that someone is being inquisitive about you and your life, you are adept at steering the conversation to other topics, or not answering questions directly. You can express yourself better through writing than verbally. You do not have many close friends. You respect nature and the grandeur of the universe. You are capable and clever and would excel in executive positions. The mysteries of life appeal to you in your search for an understanding of the greater picture of life. You love to read and can develop great powers of concentration.
