Your first name of Gerlinda gives you an independent, serious, reticent, and studious nature. In fact, others find it challenging to understand you as you do not reveal your innermost thoughts unless you are completely comfortable in your friendships. You do not express yourself spontaneously when conversing with others; hence other people may often regard you as being aloof, and even unfriendly. You can express your thoughts best in writing, and you express your appreciation of others through little acts of service rather than verbally. This name has caused you to live much within yourself. You are a thoughtful, analytical person, and you know your own mind, even though you may not speak it. You are very conscientious and competent in all that you do. It is only when you are among people who understand your deeper nature that you can really be yourself. It has created separateness from others and loneliness in your life. Physically, any weaknesses in your health would centre in the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.
