Others may misjudge your reserve as lack of interest or affection and, as a result, feel excluded and insecure. 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to unhappy or hostile situations, and reluctant to share your feelings and needs, personal conflict could make you withdrawn and overly serious or moody. You are drawn to the silence and beauty of nature; that is where you rebuild your energies and find peace of mind. However, in your personal life, this reserve and reticence are often mistaken for coldness and lack of feeling, with the result that others find it difficult to understand you. Your name of Nikandros gives you a clever, analytical mind, and causes you to be studious and serious, drawn to the deeper secrets of life. You sense there is much that cannot be understood by the five senses. It takes a confident person to read from your quiet thoughtful gestures that he or she is held in high regard. A settled home environment is important to you, as are the opportunities to enjoy good music, literature, art, and drama. 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.
