Your first name of Terriyanna gives you a poised, gracious, and reserved nature. Light pleasantries and sociability do not appeal to you as much as reading, study, or outdoor activities. You listen for the sounds of the birds and animals, the wind in the trees, the rolling surf, gently falling rain. You would like to be easy-going and spontaneous but it does not come easily. When called upon to extemporize, you could be self-conscious and nervous as you prefer to be fully prepared ahead of time to handle situations and experiences. As you are a private person, it is a challenge for others to get to know and understand you. Your feelings are better expressed through writing. As you do not like to be taken for granted, you can be somewhat stubborn and unbending when you feel misunderstood. You love to read and can develop great powers of concentration. Impromptu expression does not come easily unless you know your subject very well.
