Your first name of Pinelope has made you a sociable person who appreciates the beauties of nature and the refinements of life, and is moved by music and the arts. You can so thoroughly be absorbed in a novel that you do not hear what is going on around you. You crave affection and understanding, yet because you can be so easily and deeply hurt, you have learned to keep your true nature hidden; therefore people do not really know you. At times, there is a decidedly independent and determined side to your nature in coping with people; however, you dislike to witness hurt feelings and will avoid issues. If someone misrepresents you or makes a joke out of something important to you, you withdraw and use silence as a method of making the person aware of the inappropriate comments. You are very idealistic and romantic within yourself and may have tried to express your beautiful thoughts through poetry or writing. You suffer greatly with lack of confidence and self-consciousness. You live much within your own thoughts and find companionship in literature, especially romance or mystery. Thus, you live much within your own thoughts, often finding your escape in reading, which you love to do. You have a very kind and gentle nature, and although you may be in a position in contact with the public, you will still be a lonely and reserved person.
