Your name of Arif gives you independence and determination. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. You express yourself in as few words as possible and often choose silence rather than idle chatter. You enjoy the simple pleasures of life especially activities that take you outdoors. Nothing intimidates you once you make up your mind. Unfortunately, it is a challenge for you to express tenderness to others. Investigating and studying aspects of the universe or nature, for example, as an astronomer or naturalist, appeal to your pioneering qualities and your desire to seek your own answers to life. You have a few good friends who enjoy similar activities. Living much within your own thoughts and finding it challenging to communicate easily with others, you are, at times, too candid and honest in your assessment of situations. You feel this separation from others and would give anything to be always lighthearted and friendly instead of serious and shy.
