Your first name of Yancy has given you a quick, analytical mind. Although you are not demonstrative of your feelings in family relationships, you maintain a strong sense of loyalty. Your self-sufficient and self-reliant nature gave you the urge to leave home early in life to be free from parental restraint, and to establish your independence and freedom from tradition. In your dealings with people you place great importance in living up to one's word. Once you have given your word and undertaken a commitment, you are completely steadfast in following through in spite of any regret or frustration you may later experience in doing so. Any criticism from others causes you to retaliate cuttingly in self-defense. Family and friends find it hard to understand you because of your changing moods, and because of your intolerance and indifference towards their ideas, interests, and feelings. However you must beware of driving yourself to exhaustion as a substitute for relaxation. In order to gain greater congeniality in your personal associations, you need to cultivate a more relaxed manner, greater generosity, understanding, and tolerance, and, above all, you need to avoid being too outspoken and self-opinionated. Routine, monotony, and the responsibility of looking after details can have a similar effect on you, as you are a person who desires change, travel, and new experiences.
