Your first name of Ruth-Ika has created a practical, patient, scientific nature able to concentrate on the finer details of a project or undertaking. You desire to be understood, but your self-consciousness makes it challenging for you to be relaxed and friendly. As you think in a methodical way, you could be quite inventive along practical or technical lines and would enjoy working with your hands in such activities as crafting or cooking. As you keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself, this reserved quality has created misunderstandings with others because they feel left out. You would function best in settled conditions where you are not called upon to meet and mix too closely with others, but are able to work on your own. Idle chitchat does not interest you. Because of your need for solitude and privacy, you dislike crowds and would sooner not have to handle the public. A lack of fluency in your verbal expression may appear as bluntness. You seldom experience the peace of mind that comes with composed thinking and emotional control. You may also experience some deafness.
