Your name of Rafi gives you independence and determination. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. Exploration and scientific research into the fundamental laws under which life functions captivate your interest. Lavish affection tends to embarrass you, yet often you desire to be natural, and to seek affection and understanding from those closest to you. As a result, others finding you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative, withdraw from you. You are not sentimental nor idealistic. You have a few good friends who enjoy similar activities. Yet, when others get to know you, they realize you are loyal in your friendships and would go to any length to help someone in need. You feel this separation from others and would give anything to be always lighthearted and friendly instead of serious and shy. Living much within your own thoughts and finding it challenging to communicate easily with others, you are, at times, too candid and honest in your assessment of situations.
