Arguing.

Do you, argue until you run out of steam... or do you just think "Ah, bugger it, I can't be arsed with you" and move on?

What makes you angry, indignant, fired-up? Do you bite at every opportunity or can you breeze through things without paying too much attention?

This is for all signs.

Mmm. It takes quite a bit to make me angry. Some things definitely will though. Attacking my person without provocation, anything to do with my children, friends or family. I am highly protective of my loved ones.
Most of the petty things I shed off my back like a duck in the rain. When pushed to the brink though I will explode like a volcano and lay waste to everything in my path. Then I feel awful and make amends.
I do get disgusted by pointless arguments and walk away or tell someone to remove themselves from my presence until they get control of themselves.

I argue until I run out of steam. I think for me its a matter of getting that anger out of my system. Once I get it out, I can relax. I'm really surprised my blood pressure is normal.

In general, the things that get me the angriest are laziness, ignorance, and inconsiderateness.

Lately, at my job, I'm raging about people getting away with murder (by rarely showing up an/or showing up late every day)and being allowed to slack off and take advantage of things.

I have no patience and very little tolerance. It sucks because the only person that hurts is me. I try so hard to just accept things and people, but I've never succeeded.

Frankly, I think I'll argue when I'm bored too. Argue...not insult and degrade. I think I'd rather be angry than feel nothing.

Hehe, I remember when I was in high school...I heard some girl said something bad about my boyfriend. I tracked her down and said, "Look! If I ever hear you say one more bad thing about my boyfriend, I will find you!" She said, "Oh yeah? If you say one more bad thing about me, I'll find you!" I said, "Your a bitch! I'm right here! Do something!"

Yeah, I know that was very high school, but you know...it was high school. 😉

All 5'1 (my height) of me. And there I was fluffing my feathers like an idiot.

😄

lol, I'm 5'10 with a mouth to match.

Well I've learned how to do this thing called "Picking my battles." When I'm fired up & have a VALID reason to be furious, I let it out & dare someone to blaim me for expressing my feelings. After all, I can't really mesh well with someone who'll make me feel bad for having feelings or being brave enough to express them. If we can talk about the good, we should be able to talk about the bad, especially since alot of issues can be squashed/resolved, IF talked out with effective communication.

BUT, if I'm just having a bad day or a mood swing, I'm grown & mature enough now to know there's a time & a place for everything. I try not to take out my anger on others, especially if the problem is moreso ME more than them.

BUT, as an Aqua, I will say this...Aquas are very good at VERBALLY assaulting someone. It takes alot to make me angry, but oh boy when I finally get to that point of no return, there's no holding back. Most of the Aquas I know use their MOUTHS as their main WEAPON, & especially when another person is in a lose-lose with them.

Generally when I feel that the argument I'm making is "fool-proof" I won't necessarily mind a good "debate" lol until I finally feel that the person has heard me out completely. I'm not 1 to cowar or let others intimidate me all b/c they may not want to hear/deal with something. I'm really big on getting issues out on the table vs. suppressing them...so to a person who hates/avoids conflict, it might appear as if I never give up/in when argument. BUT to someone whose just like me, arguments are usually squashed/handled before things get out of hand.

I guess it all depends on WHO the argument is with & WHAT the argument is about. If the argument is about some form of betrayal from another person, they'll probably hate me by the time I'm finished. But if the issue is minor and/or something that would probably go away if 1 or both of us calm down, I always try to remind myself to pick my battles. It's hard when you're in the moment, BUT it is possible..especially with practice ;~P

I hardly ever complain cos I'm easy going..... but i do love to argue! not until i run out of steam...until i win lol

I try my best not to get into "arguments", I've never gained any enjoyment from it and when things get too emotional, I lock up and can't think. I want to be rational and actually discuss issues in a calm manner, than get into shouting matches and have emotions flying everywhere. I always try to practice self-control and remain civil. If I'm angry, I'll leave and try to calm down and then deal with the issue.

I know some people consider that being a wet blanket and maybe a bit "boring". But it's who I am and the way I have always wanted it. Keeping emotions in moderation and remaining clear-headed enough to deal with problems objectively.

Whats your moon sign? I admire anyone who can remain calm. Shows strength.

My Moon is in Sagittarius and in the 5th house.

I really hate to argue (and rarely do), but LOVE a friendly, respectful debate i can sink my intellectual teeth into. I am very easygoing and with venus in cap and a calming taurus-riser (known to have a soothing presence), i do practice self-control and greatly admire emotional maturity/EI in others. Having a difference in opinion and expressing it in a respectful manner is not arguing, though sadly some people see it as that, and it's only when emotions take hold "stronger" then a sound objective mind. Then some would rather win at ALL costs, doesn't matter if you make sense or not. If someone is making sense, or it gives me value, i can respect them for that, though sometimes i may not realize it at that "exact" moment. We all have off-days, here and there, but sometimes there are people too naturally sensitive or moody for me, and i do my best to avoid and stick with like-minds (so arguing at all is very limited.) Even on dxp, i've learned who to avoid, because they are too emotional, argumentative or disrespectful with others posts. To a greater extent, you CAN choose "whom" to associate with. I prefer and respect like-minds and values closer to mine..

With that said, i am very protective of those i respect and love and myself. Sometimes the odd person is looking for a fight or are so emotionally immature, they speak NO other language. Most of the time you can and it is much better to walk away. I would pick my battles and they would be very* worthy. And with that, i would give them my Mars in Leo ..

i hate confrontation period. im calm cool and collected. and i doubt id even listen to you yammering away at me...blah blah blah yeah ok your right im wrong fuck off already. nothing in life is ever that serious.

I can't be bothered to argue. I find it pointless to be honest. But if you can both laugh about it at the end then I suppose its alright? I don't mind debates. I never really lose my cool, it does take a lot for me to lose my cool. People that have seen me lose my cool have said that it's pretty scary! But I have a lot of patience so not many people have seen me lose it. But right after I'm usually back to my normal self. It takes a lot to anger me.
