Your name of Aartjen gives you a clever, analytical mind, and causes you to be studious and serious, drawn to the deeper secrets of life. Although you are not overly expressive verbally, you could excel at literary and artistic pursuits. 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to unhappy or hostile situations, and reluctant to share your feelings and needs, personal conflict could make you withdrawn and overly serious or moody. Others may misjudge your reserve as lack of interest or affection and, as a result, feel excluded and insecure. It takes a confident person to read from your quiet thoughtful gestures that he or she is held in high regard. You are drawn to the silence and beauty of nature; that is where you rebuild your energies and find peace of mind. You have a dignified manner and a high regard for standards of speech and conduct. The friends you choose to associate with have similar interests of a theoretical and contemplative nature. 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. While your name gives you a clever, deep mind, you feel and sense much that you do not fully understand.
