Your name of Darik gives you a strong urge for independence. From early in life, you have asserted your individuality, learning through your own experiences, relying upon your ingenuity and practical creativity to accomplish your objectives. In conversation, you prefer to use as few words as possible and often choose silence rather than idle chatter. When you are required to express yourself in personal matters requiring finesse and diplomacy, you feel awkward and embarrassed. Although you realize perfectly well what is expected of you, you are unable to find the right words, and hence you end up saying something inappropriate in a candid way. Nothing intimidates you once you make up your mind. Investigating and studying various aspects of nature, for example, as an astronomer or naturalist, appeal to your desire to seek an understanding of life. Preferring the simple life, you are content to forego the comforts and amenities that many people regard as essential. You find satisfaction in being outdoors or in getting out into nature, or in dealing with the products of the earth. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines.
