Your first name of Benali creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. Associating with your own age group often does not hold your interest and you tend to seek the stimulation of minds more mature than yourself. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. A quick learner, you may be resented by those whose mental processes are slower, and be misjudged as a "know it all. Your feelings are easily hurt and so, to protect yourself, you withdraw within the realm of your private thoughts. From an early age you have desired a home, family, and related responsibilities, and although you are not demonstrative in your affections you have a strong sense of love and protection for those in your care. Craving understanding, love, and affection but disinclined to verbalize your emotions, you may appear cold and aloof to those who would offer kindness. You crave friendship, understanding, love, and affection but your reserved manner appears forbidding to others. Moods, which are your worst enemy, result. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love.
