Your first name of Mariya gives you a friendly, congenial personality and causes you to desire activities involving people. It is very important to you to have peaceful, settled conditions in your life. Your name incorporates a potential aptitude for concentration and patient, logical thought along detailed, practical lines but it restricts inspirational qualities and the ability to visualize new ideas and theories. Procrastination, which arises from not being sure of yourself, is one of your major weaknesses because of your preference to avoid issues or unpleasantness in all forms. This name brings the tendency to magnify small issues out of proportion or to become too involved in personality conflicts. It is not easy for you to face issues and take a stand on them, for not only are you somewhat lacking in self-confidence, but also you prefer to avoid situations in which there could be dissension. At times you exhibit an uncompromising attitude and indifference toward others through failing to listen to and reason out another person’s point of view. Not liking to stand alone, you seek the assurance of love, understanding, and appreciation to give you the confidence to do your best. You desire refinement, understanding, and appreciation, yet sometimes your outward attitude does not reveal your innermost feelings, and thus you have never felt truly understood. While you do have many fine qualities, the tensions created by this name do not allow you to enjoy a full and complete life.
