Your name of Marideia gives you a clever, analytical mind, and causes you to be studious and serious, drawn to the deeper secrets of life. It takes a confident person to read from your quiet thoughtful gestures that he or she is held in high regard. As you are sensitive to unhappy or hostile situations, and reluctant to share your feelings and needs, personal conflict could make you withdrawn and overly serious or moody. The friends you choose to associate with have similar interests of a theoretical and contemplative nature. An outdoor life also appeals to you and you could find much enjoyment in the beauties of nature. You have a dignified manner and a high regard for standards of speech and conduct. There could be misunderstandings in relationships because you feel deeply about those you love but are embarrassed to openly show your affections. Although you are not overly expressive verbally, you could excel at literary and artistic pursuits. Tensions due to responsibilities or discordant conditions in your home or business affairs may cause worry and mental turmoil. As it is not easy for you to share your deeper thoughts and ideals with others, you are inclined to choose the association of those few friends with whom you feel the most at ease and with whom you can enjoy companionship in a contemplative mood without feeling pressure for verbal communication.
