Your first name of Gladys has given you a quick, analytical mind. Any criticism from others causes you to retaliate cuttingly in self-defense. Family and friends find it hard to understand you because of your changing moods, and because of your intolerance and indifference towards their ideas, interests, and feelings. Once you have given your word and undertaken a commitment, you are completely steadfast in following through in spite of any regret or frustration you may later experience in doing so. In your dealings with people you place great importance in living up to one's word. Your self-sufficient and self-reliant nature gave you the urge to leave home early in life to be free from parental restraint, and to establish your independence and freedom from tradition. Moods of depression often result as well as outbursts of temper, caustic remarks, or a belligerent attitude towards everyone, especially those closest to you. The urge for action or progress is such a strong force in your nature that you find difficulty in controlling it. Routine, monotony, and the responsibility of looking after details can have a similar effect on you, as you are a person who desires change, travel, and new experiences. The effect of the nervous tension can appear in childhood as stuttering.
