Your name of Raptor has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. Others find it a challenge to get to know you and although you want affection, friendship, and understanding, your aloof, shy qualities rebuff the attention of others. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You are constantly on guard for fear of being criticized or ridiculed. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. You then feel misunderstood and lonely and your thoughts can become turbulent and despondent, occasionally morbid. Although you would give anything to be spontaneous, fun-loving, and natural, your name makes you very serious and self-conscious instead. You do not find it easy to articulate your deeper thoughts and feelings; it is much easier for you to pen your thoughts. A quiet walk in the outdoors, where you can listen to the sounds of nature, the wind in the trees, the lapping of water against a shoreline, the chirping of the birds, which become your companions, allow you to experience peace and freedom. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature.
