Your name of Carolyn has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You then feel misunderstood and lonely and your thoughts can become turbulent and despondent, occasionally morbid. You love books, especially mysteries and romance. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You are interested in the deeper aspects of life and invariably are attracted to mystery, the occult, and religious concepts. You find companionship in novels and can become so absorbed in your reading that you are unaware of what is going on around you. A quiet walk in the outdoors, where you can listen to the sounds of nature, the wind in the trees, the lapping of water against a shoreline, the chirping of the birds, which become your companions, allow you to experience peace and freedom. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent.
