Your first name of Claude has given you an idealistic nature with a desire to help others. The inadequacy you feel in communicating your thoughts and feelings often creates a stubbornness and frustration and then, when provoked, your bottled-up emotions could explode through temper and physical aggression. Your tendency to be blunt and to-the-point makes you appear self-centred and unappreciative, and can lead to misunderstandings that alienate those closest to you. You long for praise and appreciation for your efforts, but others find it difficult to understand you. Since you are impressionable and receptive, you feel the misfortunes of others very keenly. Your friends find you loyal, trustworthy, and dependable, but few people realize what noble intentions you have or how much you care. Being somewhat self-centred, you learn through your own experiences, as you rarely take advice from others. Yet, you are sensitive and very easily hurt and offended. A leadership position appeals to you because you would enjoy directing others rather than being directed. Your feelings are strong and you tend to react intensely to situations.
