The name of Doriene gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You crave peace and tranquillity, but seldom attain it, although you may find a degree of mental freedom when you go out into nature. It is often only through writing that you can express your higher ideals or your true appreciation for those you love. You desire refinement and are easily offended by coarse humour or bad manners. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. Outwardly you often appear calm and in control, while inwardly you are experiencing turmoil and tension. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature.
