Your name of Channing gives you independence and determination. You express yourself in as few words as possible and often choose silence rather than idle chatter. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. Once you get an idea, you forge ahead, despite obstacles, until you reach the end of your project. You enjoy the simple pleasures of life especially activities that take you outdoors. You have a few good friends who enjoy similar activities. Yet, when others get to know you, they realize you are loyal in your friendships and would go to any length to help someone in need. As a result, others finding you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative, withdraw from you. 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.
