The name of Samanthika has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. When you feel understood, you tend to show your affection for others through acts of consideration. You must fight against self-consciousness and insecurity. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at some of your thoughts and visions. When life becomes too routine and monotonous, you look for ways to create variety. There are times when you are outgoing and cosmopolitan, and other times when you become reflective and aloof, drawing away from association with others. You seldom express your deeper thoughts for fear of being ridiculed or your meaning misconstrued. You are sympathetic to the needs of others and generous in your aspirations to help people. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire.
