Your first name of Claudie has given you an idealistic nature with a desire to help others. However, this name makes it awkward for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings with finesse and diplomacy to the extent that your candid, sometimes blunt, manner of speaking creates misunderstandings with others. You long for praise and appreciation for your efforts, but others find it difficult to understand you. Although you are not comfortable being the centre of attention, your dry sense of humour often deflects attention from your self-consciousness. You dislike monotony and system and enjoy being creative in an inventive way whether it be in interior decorating, music, art, crafts, or other endeavours that require versatility and skill. 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. Yet, you are sensitive and very easily hurt and offended. Being somewhat self-centred, you learn through your own experiences, as you rarely take advice from others. Your feelings are strong and you tend to react intensely to situations. A leadership position appeals to you because you would enjoy directing others rather than being directed.
