Your first name of Shontay has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. When you feel you are understood, you then must guard against jealousy and possessiveness. When you are with acquaintances and strangers, you tend to be reserved and reticent, shy and secretive but, on the other hand, with close friends you can sometimes be the life of the party, expressive, humorous, dramatic, and fun-loving. However, self-consciousness, at times, prevents you from feeling at ease in positions of impromptu self-expression. Your close friends are few. You long for love and affection and for your sensitive feelings to be understood. You enjoy reading and can become so absorbed that you are unaware of what is happening around you. If you are not careful, people take advantage of your generous nature. Over-indulgence could cause a weak back, skin conditions or arthritis later in life. The reserved, sensitive side of your nature brings aloneness and friction into your life, although you crave affection and understanding.
