Your first name of Shannnon has given you inspirational, idealistic, and dramatic qualities. Many times you feel misunderstood and lonely, as you are easily hurt and offended and occasionally suffer from self-pity. You delight in mysteries and could be drawn to occult studies. Yet, you dislike crowds and stressful circumstances. Being sensitive, you do not like to be on your own for too long. Although you appear calm outwardly, your thoughts can be turbulent. You are inclined to be suspicious and to build situations out of proportion, perhaps the way someone looks at or speaks to someone you care for; you tend to look for hidden meanings and innuendos. Relying upon the encouragement and strength of close friends and the constant reassurance that you are loved and appreciated is the result of lack of confidence, but may develop misunderstandings when others experience your possessiveness You have a strong temper, yet regret it as soon as you give vent to it because you do not like to hurt others. You may experience health weaknesses in the lungs, heart, or nervous system because of your high-strung nature. You prefer being with one or two close friends.
