Your first name of Mathea has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. People tend to be guarded in handling your over-sensitive qualities. A very individual, independent person, you live within your own thoughts. These contrasting natures make it difficult for people to understand you and can lead to friction in your personal life. You are happiest when you are expressing in some artistic way, free from monotony and detail. When you are with acquaintances and strangers, you tend to be reserved and reticent, shy and secretive but, on the other hand, with close friends you can sometimes be the life of the party, expressive, humorous, dramatic, and fun-loving. Your friends seldom know what to expect from you because of this dual character—friendly and charming one moment or lost in introspection the next. When you feel misunderstood, you become very reserved and quiet, and do not want to be with people. You find the beauties of nature, fine music, art, and literature--all the deeper things of life--inspiring. Over-indulgence could cause a weak back, skin conditions or arthritis later in life.
