Your first name of Gentian creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. " You do not mean to offend but being reserved creates a barrier in communication and makes you appear disinterested. Although you are knowledgeable and intelligent, your sensitivity and restriction in expression often causes frustration and could limit the satisfaction and success that would otherwise be gained from your responsible and capable nature. Your feelings are very easily hurt and to protect yourself you withdraw within the realms of your own private thoughts and shut out the rest of the world. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. Craving understanding, love, and affection but disinclined to verbalize your emotions, you may appear cold and aloof to those who would offer kindness. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. You have a sensitive nature--sensitive to your environment and particularly sensitive to how your deeper and more serious interests are regarded by others. Health problems revolve primarily around worry and a weakness in the respiratory area that could lead to problems with the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love.
