Your first name of Claude has given you an idealistic nature with a desire to help others. Although you know what is expected of you, you feel awkward and embarrassed when drawn into delicate situations that require extreme tact. You are imaginative and visionary, somewhat of a perfectionist, yet the results of your efforts often fall short of your high expectations. Being impulsive, you make hasty decisions, which you often regret after you experience the results. Yet, you are sensitive and very easily hurt and offended. Being somewhat self-centred, you learn through your own experiences, as you rarely take advice from others. You long for praise and appreciation for your efforts, but others find it difficult to understand you. Your desire to help also makes you generous, sympathetic, and loyal in your friendships. A leadership position appeals to you because you would enjoy directing others rather than being directed. Your feelings are strong and you tend to react intensely to situations.
