Your first name of Yanessa has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. You are loyal to your friends and go out of your way to help others. 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. People tend to be guarded in handling your over-sensitive qualities. However, self-consciousness, at times, prevents you from feeling at ease in positions of impromptu self-expression. These contrasting natures make it difficult for people to understand you and can lead to friction in your personal life. You are deep, philosophical, and refined, but your extremely sensitive nature causes you to become depressed and self-pitying over any real or imagined slight. If you are not careful, people take advantage of your generous nature. The reserved, sensitive side of your nature brings aloneness and friction into your life, although you crave affection and understanding. Over-indulgence could cause a weak back, skin conditions or arthritis later in life.
