Your first name of Alegreia has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. If told that you must do something, you tend to resist, but when your sense of co-operation is appealed to, then your desire to please brings out your best. You thrive on encouragement and appreciation from others, and kindness goes a long way in bringing out your naturally cheerful disposition. You can be easily hurt by harsh words and depreciatory remarks, but you hide your feelings and appear indifferent as though they do not affect you. Family and home life are important as long as a routine does not become monotonous. You are an emotional person. Although you would like to be natural in conveying emotional sentiments, you tend to be matter-of-fact and practical in expressions of appreciation for others. Love and affection are motivating qualities within you, but it is not easy for you to find the words to express your deeper feelings of affection. You enjoy sugars and starchy, rich foods. There is conflict between your desires and your expression which does not allow scope for your capabilities.
