Your first name of Rhyss gives you a poised, gracious, and reserved nature. When called upon to extemporize, you could be self-conscious and nervous as you prefer to be fully prepared ahead of time to handle situations and experiences. Intrigued by the mysteries of life, you often ponder the deeper reasons for existence. You seem calm and placid, even when you feel turbulent and unhappy. Light pleasantries and sociability do not appeal to you as much as reading, study, or outdoor activities. As you live much of the time within your own thoughts, someone can be speaking to you face to face, but you will be thinking about something entirely different and have closed out the conversation. Because of your strong concentrative abilities, you can shut noises and activities out so completely that you may not even hear someone calling your name. If you sense that someone is being inquisitive about you and your life, you are adept at steering the conversation to other topics, or not answering questions directly. Impromptu expression does not come easily unless you know your subject very well. The mysteries of life appeal to you in your search for an understanding of the greater picture of life.
