Your first name of Portly creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. Although you are knowledgeable and intelligent, your sensitivity and restriction in expression often causes frustration and could limit the satisfaction and success that would otherwise be gained from your responsible and capable nature. You can give expression to your personal thoughts and feelings most fluently through the written word. For your interest to be retained you need to be mentally challenged; this was most evident when young and in school. Your feelings are easily hurt and so, to protect yourself, you withdraw within the realm of your private thoughts. You tend to be studious, analysing each new idea before accepting it. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. 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.
