Your first name of Qualen creates a very sensitive, inspirational, and idealistic nature. Privacy is important to you. You have learned to hide your innermost thoughts and feelings. You capably deflect questions and the other person does not even realize how cleverly you have changed the subject. When you feel understood, you love deeply and intensely, but suffer just as acutely when misunderstandings occur. You are sensitive to what others think about you and do not like to be questioned too closely about your personal life. Laughter and light pleasantries are not a natural expression for you, as you tend to be reticent and self-conscious, and suffer, at times, with depression and self-pity. There are times when you read that you do not hear what is going on around you. Someone may call your name and you will be so immersed that you tune everything out and you become a part of the story you are reading. Yours is a very deep, reflective nature, but others would never know it as you keep your deeper feelings within.
