Aquas have no feelings?

OK, ofcourse they have feelings, but it's like a light switch where they can just turn it on and off at anytime they want to and they usually prefer it off. What is up with that?

yep

I do have the ability to mentally block things out of my head that NEED to be blocked or suppressed in order for me to get through the day. When some get their heart broken & spend the next 2 months crying hysterically & living through their emotions, we sit at home & try to focus on the OTHER things that we CAN change (versus the heartbreak that we can't). Why does everyone expect for us to always sit around & cry & whine like babies when we're hurt or betrayed? YES, we DO have emotions. If we didn't have emotions & if we weren't sensitive like everybody else, we wouldn't have anything to suppress, now would we? When we feel that our heart or well being is being threatend by an outside force, we close up & begin thinking with LOGIC and not EMOTIONS. We know that when we deal with emotions we may lose ourselves (and we know this because WE know better than anyone else that we are sensitive, VERY sensitive). So little by little, we release our emotions in other ways that the average person wouldn't even catch on to & because they THEMSELVES didn't get to see us cry, or react to our feelings the way THEY think we ought to react, they automatically assume that we either DON'T have emotions at all or that we're like robots. Aquas are obsessed with the idea of "STRONG" and "STRENGTH" & normally this concept comes to us the MOST when we are hurt. And we don't like to even risk the title we earned for being the "STRONG ONES" just because LIFE happened.

way too wordy for my taste....but yeah Aqua's are pretty shut down in his/her beginning stages of life, most of us growing up simply do not understand what feelings mean...my mom used to say what's wrong with you and I had no idea how to answer that so I said nothing.

Some Aquas haven't a clue about how to process emotional feelings, most of us suffer from low self esteem and depression in the midst of trying to find ourselves so most of us avoid emotions all together, yet at some point (adulthood) some sooner than later... we see how hiding creates more emotional havoc in our lives and as life kicks us in the ass we start to get off our lazy behinds and work with the universe instead of rebelling against it, we begin to question emotions, let ourselves feel, gain understanding and insight and as he/she evolves and gains a better understanding of self, allow themselves room to grieve, to mourn and to mature, once the emotional port holes have been healed within then the emotions flow easy, its only hard when the Aqua is still stuck in emotional pre-school thats when and how problems develop and continue to develop even into adulthood...its called consciousness becoming conscious of the world inside of us so we can relate and express ourselves to the world outside of us... this sign doesn't have the luxury of sleep walking.

This sign has a deep deep internal struggle going on, so when things are wrong naturally we say its alright b/c no one can help us with it and we know it, its one of those journeys that each of us must walk alone...any help feels like intrusion.

I'm an aqua who has and displays all of my feelings. Some people even call me an open book. I never had to deal with being fearful or worried when it came to expressing how I felt. Guess I'm alright.

I too am a open book, I hides nothing d:

What are feelings? Really? Other than electrical impulses that run through our nervous system sending messages to our brain making us as humans want to "feel". Someone care to explain to me why I should react this way or that way to something. To be honest when it comes to emotions I don't know which emotion would fit the occasion. Say for example, the last time I was at a funeral I stood there and the only thing that could go through my head was what should I be feeling? Of course I felt remorse, despair, rage and all the sad emotions that came along with it but deep down inside I kept questioning whether it was the right way to feel about the situation. Should I be happy that this person moved on and is probably in a better place or should I be feeling sad because they were no longer on this plain of existence? Most people would usually feel all the above and come to terms with it and sort out their emotions. But for myself I always question the validity of what I'm feeling and whether it was the "right" way to feel about something. In my head everything is rushing a mile a minute and I feel every bit of it but on my face it's stone cold. It doesn't mean that I don't feel. It just means I'm just trying to figure out how to sort things out. Maybe that's why I prefer the switch off. It's just easier to deal that way. As morbid an example that was I couldn't think of any other way of putting it at the moment. Sometimes I honestly don't get people or myself at all. I like cheese.

When I don't like someone I just can't hide it, I hate that about me, I have a tendency to broadcast my dislike about something or someone very quickly and very loud, I won't verbally say it but man everything from eyes to my mannerisms speaks go away, your not liked, I have been working on this and I can't say I have gotten any better. I understand what Cappywench is saying but I have to agree with the other poster when it comes to us and our dislikes, I haven't a clue how to like someone and smile in there face yet hate them, If I don't like you well your going to FEEL it, I may not come out and say it but every one of my expressions be it verbal, mental will say it.

I cant hide my digust either...I try to but it's hard to do. With me, what you c is what you get.

i don't know if i believe in all this "stuff" but am interested nevertheless. i am an aquarian and as far emotions go in relationships....i always give 100% until it's not given in return then i turn little cold...don't mean to, high strung and want the same energy in return. i believe in commitment...so if this water-barer runs cold...i'm hurt, too emotional, and take things too personal. so i've never felt like i've "HAD" my emotional (sexual) equal...is this also typical of an aquarian?

I never met a more affectionate or loving man than my current Aqua boyfriend.

I dont identify with the depressive/insecure aqua. Sometimes its just a simple, "I really dont care." If I did care I would feel something ...ANYTHING. I agree with DK's analysis of what is the preoper emotion to feel, I may not be expressing myself in the way someone else would see fit, but something is there. There are those times when you draw an emotional blank. There are literally cricket noises comeing from within you because theres nothing there. Then again its maybe because I JUST DONT CARE....or when you mentally process the situation (we are logical people).

If I do care for something and its more of an emotional expressive type situation...I can go into a 'lets fix it' mode. No need to sit there and wallow in unproductive emotional expression. Just do what must be done. Whether its trying find a cure or help for your family memebers medical illness; getting over a boyfriend; getting into a relationship; dealing with death and a funeral.

Its like when guys say, "I just want to fix the situation; if somethings wrong we try and fix it, because men are natural problem solvers."....Thats is what I (a female aqua WITH a cancer moon 😛)personally identify with.

Im not very good at hiding anything with my facial expressions apparently; which I may add are usually misunderstood.
