Your name of Tanessa has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You love books, especially mysteries and romance. Your vivid imagination places you right in the story and even if someone calls you, you may not hear. You then feel misunderstood and lonely and your thoughts can become turbulent and despondent, occasionally morbid. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. 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. You are a solitary person, reserved and sensitive. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. The extreme sensitivity of this name and the inner turbulence that is often felt may create weaknesses affecting the nervous system, heart and lungs. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent.
