You can so thoroughly be absorbed in a novel that you do not hear what is going on around you. You live much within your own thoughts and find companionship in literature, especially romance or mystery. You may find some expression but it would usually be light conversation, rarely daring to reveal your deeper thoughts or take others into your confidence for fear of criticism or ridicule. When you experience friendship and support from others, you feel better about yourself. 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. You have great imagination and it is not difficult for you to be a part of the story. 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 suffer greatly with lack of confidence and self-consciousness. 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. Thus, you live much within your own thoughts, often finding your escape in reading, which you love to do.
