The name of Tense creates a dual nature in that you can be very generous and understanding, but you can also be so candid in your expression that you create misunderstanding. Learning to withdraw, particularly in the outdoors environment, can bring a sense of peace and relaxation for you as you occupy your thoughts with the beauty and phenomena of nature. You desire to be recognized for your efforts, and, if you feel you are being taken for granted, you are apt to become intolerant, critical, and complaining. When you are happy and giving, you have a charming personality, you make friends easily, and would go to great lengths to help someone in need. You appreciate mental exploration into new ideas. You tend to scatter your efforts by being involved in too many activities at times, thereby forfeiting success in some areas because of lack of attention to detail. At times, you are an extremist in whatever holds your interest, with the result that you focus all your energies, your ingenuity, and originality of thought to do your best. Independence and freedom of action mean a great deal to you; therefore, you enjoy positions where you are giving instructions rather than taking them. You have very intense feelings and find it difficult to maintain stability and happiness. If you allowed it, temper and self-pity could be problems.
