Your first name of Dryandra gives you a friendly, congenial personality and causes you to desire activities involving people. Not liking to stand alone, you seek the assurance of love, understanding, and appreciation to give you the confidence to do your best. Even with lesser ones, you prefer to talk them over with a respected friend or associate first. You are not comfortable having to make major decisions. You need to see a concept presented completely in detail before you can understand it, and if you cannot understand it, you come to your own conclusion and often fail to listen to and reason out another's point of view. Others do not always realize how sensitive and aware you are of their thoughts and feelings toward you. It is very important to you to have peaceful, settled conditions in your life. You have a strong emotional nature that, if not kept under control, could be detrimental to your health or result in problems in close personal relationships. You resist being forced into change and could become almost impervious to new ideas. You desire refinement, understanding, and appreciation, yet sometimes your outward attitude does not reveal your innermost feelings, and thus you have never felt truly understood.
