You come across as being different from most people, because you find it diff-
icult to be natural, since preconceived ideas about the world, developed in
response to your upbringing, get in the way.  You come across as taking your
ideas very seriously, and other people sometimes feel disconcerted by your
self-awareness, but they usually see you as being honest and friendly.  You
need a lot of independence to follow up your ideas, and you are likely to be
a highly original thinker, becoming involved in anything novel or off-beat.
Although you have a good understanding of human nature in a theoretical sense,
you need to be careful not to ignore the emotional side of life, nor should
you rebel against something solely because it does not happen to suit you.
You have strong beliefs about the nature of the objective world derived from
your upbringing, and these sometimes get in the way of your acting naturally.
Perhaps you believe that relationships tend not to last, and you therefore
tend to attract unreliable people who let you down, or exciting people who
lack the stability required in a longer-term relationship.  As you become
older you are likely to become more aware of your own considerable need to
be free to experiment for yourself, and you may stretch the patience of
others considerably.  You need to learn to compromise really: you need to
express your own needs for independence, but unless you want to be alone
you will have to make some concessions to get along with others closely.
You come across as having a natural ability to understand people, for your
upbringing has left you thinking it is alright to express yourself natur-
ally, whilst also making it clear that you grant the same right of self-
expression to other people as you do to yourself.  You are therefore friend-
ly and open in your approach, and interested in increasing your understand-
ing of the world.  While you enjoy company, you also make it clear that
you need freedom to follow up your own plans, and you will not be tied down
to one person or place unless you choose so.  You may enjoy travelling, for
you have the ability to get along with many different sorts of people, as
you are a fairly unusual person yourself in a quiet sort of way.
There is a considerable difference between the way you tend to come across
when you are feeling relaxed, and the way you come across when you are
hooked into the idea system you developed about the world in response to
your upbringing.  Many of your beliefs are eccentric, although they may
lead to considerable creativity.  You are likely to find that you either
attract exciting people who are unreliable, or that you insist on your
own right to have an exciting independent time even if other people object.
Whether you see the need for independence as existing in yourself or in
other people, you would do better to avoid going to extremes in your be-
haviour: that way you will lead a more rewarding and relaxed existence.
You come across as having a natural understanding of other people, and
you cooperate well with them as long as you are also allowed to do your
own thing, for you have a fair demand for independence.  Your upbringing
has left you with the belief that having a clear theoretical framework
to work from is important and you are keen to incorporate new ideas and
experiences into your vocabulary, so you need a certain amount of freedom.
This is also true in your work, where you will not choose an ordinary
career, but will require one where you can show your inventiveness and
particular brand of initiative.  Even if you have close relationships,
you will still feel the need to have friends outside the relationship.
You may feel some strain over whether to come across in a natural way,
or to behave according to the intellectual prejudices you developed
about the world as a result of your upbringing.  You will probably
find as you mature that it is possible to relate naturally without sac-
rificing your right to follow up your own ideas at times.
You are likely to feel stress due to a conflict between your need to be
free to do things in your own way, and your need to behave naturally
or as is expected of you.  This may lead to considerable tension in
relationships until you learn that there is room for compromise: you
can choose your own areas to express your need for independence.
