Your name of Darlena makes you independent, self-reliant, and determined. You are often drawn into pioneering circumstances in which you work alone without the benefits of congenial association. You have difficulty in laughing at yourself, yet your face rarely reveals the reactions you may be experiencing within. You work best without interference, in projects that require concentration and close attention. Although you tend not to like crowds and social activities, there are occasions when you feel lonely and misunderstood. You crave affection and understanding, but rarely find it as others do not understand you and accuse you of being cool and aloof. If given the opportunity, you would find it easier to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through creative writing or artistic endeavour, but even along these lines, you sense restrictions in your ability to express as well as you would like. You prefer an outdoors environment, but could be happy in any position in which you experience freedom and versatility. The insecurity you experience from limited verbal expression and social ease results in a jealous possessiveness and suffering through frustration, repressed emotion, and self-consciousness. This name would cause tension in the head through troubles with either eyes, teeth, sinuses, ears, or throat or cause headaches.
