Your first name of Espen has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature. Your love for others is shown more in your loyalty and sense of fair play rather than in any overt demonstrations of love and affection. You often feel you could have achieved even better results. The repression and frustration that you may experience at challenging moments in your life cause nervous indigestion and, in the worst cases, could result in ulcers and severe stomach problems. Lavish displays of emotion tend to embarrass you, making you feel self-conscious and inadequate. Unfortunately, this name makes it difficult for you to concentrate and to finish what you start because, once your interest in a project wanes, you begin to look for something new, something different to challenge yourself, anything to avoid monotony and the handling of details. You work best alone and are happiest when expressing your many ideas creatively in an area that offers flexibility and challenge. You rebel at restrictions and are resourceful in unexpected circumstances. You become intensely involved with everything you plan to do, but the stress arising from frustrating obstacles or misunderstandings with others could prompt you to be intolerant and sarcastic in your expression, with breakdowns in congenial relations with family and friends a possible end result. 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.
