Your first name of Dretchen has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature. Because of the restless qualities within your first name, it is very often difficult for you to find pleasure in ordinary congeniality. Over-intensity is your challenge; you put a great deal of effort into your activities, but often fail to take time to relax, to view your plans objectively, and perhaps, to consider the opinions of others. You rebel at restrictions and are resourceful in unexpected circumstances. When you are annoyed, you must guard against a strong temper and the expression of intolerance and criticism. You tend to express yourself in an opinionated, candid, and matter-of-fact manner. You appreciate nature and the freedom associated with being in a natural environment. Lavish displays of emotion tend to embarrass you, making you feel self-conscious and inadequate. This name spoils relaxation and contentment, the mental qualities necessary for good health. While you are creative, inventive, and ingenious in practical matters, and always ready to initiate and promote new undertakings, you often experience difficulty in bringing your undertakings to a successful conclusion because of your own changing interests or changing circumstances.
