Your name of Shintoka has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. Although you would give anything to be spontaneous, fun-loving, and natural, your name makes you very serious and self-conscious instead. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You are not the argumentative type, but you can admonish a person by saying nothing, your silent disapproval being felt by others. You have a clever, quick, and analytical mind and you could enjoy and excel in music and drama, or along scientific and mathematical lines. You seldom allow others to get too close until you are sure you will receive understanding. Even in being reprimanded, you tend to take a haughty attitude and refuse to be advised. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. A quiet walk in the outdoors, where you can listen to the sounds of nature, the wind in the trees, the lapping of water against a shoreline, the chirping of the birds, which become your companions, allow you to experience peace and freedom. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature.
