The name of Apache gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. Although self-conscious in front of people, when you put on a costume you could excel at performing arts, even to the point where you lose a sense of reality. It is often only through writing that you can express your higher ideals or your true appreciation for those you love. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. Because you tend to place great importance on little gestures and nuances, both in your own expression and in others' communication with you, it is easy for you to misconstrue another's intent and take too personally what is not meant to hurt. You are sensitive about your idealistic thoughts, and an unappreciative person can hurt you and cause you to become secretive about that which you value deeply. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature.
