Your first name of Colum has given you an idealistic nature with a desire to help others. Being somewhat self-centred, you learn through your own experiences, as you rarely take advice from others. Although you are not comfortable being the centre of attention, your dry sense of humour often deflects attention from your self-consciousness. 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. 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. 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. Your friends find you loyal, trustworthy, and dependable, but few people realize what noble intentions you have or how much you care. You are imaginative and visionary, somewhat of a perfectionist, yet the results of your efforts often fall short of your high expectations. Your feelings are strong and you tend to react intensely to situations. The intensity you experience from misunderstandings and setbacks could cause problems in health relative to your high strung nervous system.
