Your name of Martindale has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You could be very creative in composition or poetry. You then feel misunderstood and lonely and your thoughts can become turbulent and despondent, occasionally morbid. If you feel that anyone is prying into your life, you try to steer conversations away from yourself. Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel. You find companionship in novels and can become so absorbed in your reading that you are unaware of what is going on around you. Others find it a challenge to get to know you and although you want affection, friendship, and understanding, your aloof, shy qualities rebuff the attention of others. Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature.
