Your name of Retaja makes you independent, self-reliant, and determined. You are quiet and gentle mannered as a rule, preferring silence to argument and turmoil. Laughter and light pleasantries are suppressed by this name. Being sensitive, you can be easily hurt and offended, taking seriously the comments made in jest by others. It is challenging for you to reveal your deeper thoughts and feelings, as you tend to be self-conscious, reserved, and secretive. You desire affection and understanding but often leave the impression that you want to be left alone. You are earnest and studious, but can be stubborn and fixed in your ideas and opinions. If given the opportunity, you would find it easier to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through creative writing or artistic endeavour, but even along these lines, you sense restrictions in your ability to express as well as you would like. A very individual, independent person, you live within your own thoughts. The insecurity you experience from limited verbal expression and social ease results in a jealous possessiveness and suffering through frustration, repressed emotion, and self-consciousness.
