Your first name of Ollivia gives you a poised, gracious, and reserved nature. You are intellectual and not easily swayed through the emotions. As you live much of the time within your own thoughts, someone can be speaking to you face to face, but you will be thinking about something entirely different and have closed out the conversation. You seem calm and placid, even when you feel turbulent and unhappy. As you do not like to be taken for granted, you can be somewhat stubborn and unbending when you feel misunderstood. You would like to be easy-going and spontaneous but it does not come easily. Light pleasantries and sociability do not appeal to you as much as reading, study, or outdoor activities. You prefer positions where your independence and love of freedom are not curtailed, where there is not the constant demands of people. You love to read and can develop great powers of concentration. The mysteries of life appeal to you in your search for an understanding of the greater picture of life.
