craving 4 attention?

sometimes wanna be alone but in a crowd of people i GOTTA have it.

Wow.. Is this an aquarian trait... because i have dealt wuith many of you and ... i have noticed that.. unfortunately it is not always necassarily the"best kind" of attention if you get my drift... ( at least with the ones ive experienced )

lmao xD i'm a girl but yea maybe it is my age. and i'm very sociable but i've have had times where i'm just sitting on the other side of the room for a few day and ppl call me stuck up or cold. i'm a roller coaster one moment i'm naturally high as a kite and will say whatever comes to mind but then the next moment i'm sitting alone in a corner thinking and making scowl judgements.
oh and i'm okay i was just bored xD

Interesting...As an Aqua, I can def. identify with this. We can be so introverted & have such a strong craving/need to be alone & to be self-taught, cry in the dark, all that good stuff, etc. BUT we're not complete social losers either. We are just like everyone else in that we need/like/want attention sometimes too. For example, an Aqua might want to be social for the day but THEIR idea of being social might be to go out to the club BUT with only 1 person, vs. a whole flock of friends. To an Aqua, the fact that they are 1. Going out in public to a social place & 2. Going with someone other than themselves lol, is what they sometimes consider social. Alot of Aquas have this introverted/extroverted exterior, which is alot of times the reason why we're so misunderstood.

If I'm having a bad day & want to be alone, I might not mind having the company of 1 particular friend over for the day. BUT that just b/c I'm around 1 of my friends doesn't mean that anybody else calling me for the day will actually get through. We can kind of isolate ourselves sometimes, BUT at the same time we always end up being in the company of AT LEAST 1 other person. I don't like being the center of attention persay, BUT I do want attention. I may not be the person who jumps in front of the camera in a quest for the ultimate 15 minutes of fame/ultimate attention, BUT by the end of the night, I WOULD'VE had atleast SOME camera time, even if no one noticed me when I finally came out for the attention. Aquas can be so low key but yet so out there all at the same time. It's kind of confusing & hard to put in words sometimes.

bingo bingo. u hit the nail with the hammer! =D
i ttly i agree. I want attention sometimes but not too much and sometimes i want none and sometimes i want a little above average but not everyones lolololol. this is confusing sounding but don't worry standing cat will make everything all better.

Exactly. Aquarians are unpredictable. We don't like for everything to be routine & to some people us being this way comes off as us being inconsistent or wishy-washy. But it's not that. It's just that hey, some days I have an enormous need to be around 50 people. The very next day, I might isolate myself & just chose to be by myself OR atleast around 1 specific/particular person. And the NEXT day, I might answer the calls of 2 people vs. just 1 like the day before. BUT, it's not that we're like this b/c we're crazy or b/c we can't make up our minds. We're just evolving creatures. We're always changing, just like our moods, sometimes by the hour.

For example, at 1pm I might be in the mood for 2-3 friends to come over to relax & have fun with. BUT, by 6pm, my mood might've changed & instead of craving the attention from my friends, I'd just rather be alone. There IS no explanation for this, nor does this change in our mood/what we suddenly want always signify that someone did something wrong or anything to cause that change. It's not that we do this to lead on others or to avoid others. It's just that we don't necessarily want to feel bad either for not being stuck to just one label. We are not just introverted. We can be BOTH introverted AND extroverted sometimes. And when people can't hunt us down or figure us out, they get frustrated. And it's not that we Aquas do this on purpose; no, it's just that we literally do what we want to do. And if we don't want to see/talk to/do something, we won't, no matter WHO or how many people have a tantrum b/c of our decision. So to us, since we're not doing this intentionally to hurt or mislead others, it's a little harder for us to understand why people get so frustrated at something we felt we were just doing for ourselves, vs. there always having to be some "hidden" reasoning behind everything with us. IT just it what it is.

One day an Aqua might be shy & non-social. 2 days later, you might see that same Aqua at a bar, dancing on top of the table. This confuses others b/c they can get so used to us being 1 way & expecting for us to stay the way that comforts them. BUT nope, we Aquas conform to our OWN rules ;~P

Exactly. The problem though is that others always assume that we get like this ONLY when things are going wrong in our lives. And hey, that may be true in some cases, BUT not in all. Things can be going lovely for me in life but yet I'll still feel the deep need to be alone for the day. People that are not like this and/or that don't understand this will automatically translate this behavior or associate this with some kind of negativity or detachment. And that's not always the case. We love the company of others, we love love & we love having fun just like everyone else. It seems like people are just amazed that we Aquas actually KNOW how to entertain OURSELVES sometimes. People don't realize that I can have just as much fun & get just as much fulfillment in a day BY MYSELF the same way I could with others.

Sometimes, I need to be alone b/c I may need to reflect on some things going on within me, that 1. I don't comfortable OR have the time to try to explain to others. I'd rather deal with things on my own sometimes instead of inviting someone else into my heart & having to explain all damn day long why things are the way they are. And if there is someone that automatically understands/gets me, I might invite them over during one of those times when I just want to be alone, BUT I will ONLY invite them. During other times, it very well could be that I'm mad at the world or am annoyed by certain people that keep demanding my attention.

BUT, I just felt it necessary to point out that every time we get like this, it's not always b/c something is wrong. This is who we ARE, not just something we do to piss/through others off.

i just go with what makes me comfortable at a specific moment.

I know a virgo sun, aqua moon who's the same way..

she's on her own, sthg like 60% of the time..
reading, listenin to music, being introspective, analytical..
(all the introverted stuff..)

when she's in a group, she'll talk (and talk)
act crazy.. say whatever is on her mind..

lmao thats very aqua like and definitely me. I sit alone alot or purposely stay away from ppl then if i'm in a group i just let go and let whatever comes to mind come out. My bestfriends is an aqua and she does the same thing but no two aqua are alike tho because i have alot of aqua friends and we've all got our own spin on reality.

And also keep in mind that there are other factors OUTSIDE OF ASTROLOGY that affect personality & the way a person ticks. Sure, the typical Aquarius supposedly is a mixture of social & anti-social, BUT there are also a million other reasons outside of astrology why an Aqua might be more 1 moreso than the other. People have a hard time accepting/understanding that Aquarians can be BOTH. They either want their Aquas to be social all the time or loners all the times. It's as if, people can't handle a person who is 2 or 3-dimensional. Not all Aquas are social 24-7; sometimes they need their space b/c of personal issues or situations going on, & sometimes they just want to be alone b/c um..they simply just WANT to. Sometimes there isn't always a reason. It's no different than the Aquas who are more sociable & love being around & leaning on others. Them being this way doesn't mean that they are always doing so b/c they "need" others.

Plus, not all Aquas have 5,000 friends. Some Aquas tend to be very close-knit & have very small groups of people in their lives that they actually consider REAL "friends." So if an Aqua is depressed b/c of a recent breakup, for example, I don't understand why others make things so complicated in assuming that Aquas are just non-social period, just b/c they ended up meeting/getting closer to their Aqua at around the same time something deep/personal was going on in their lives. Aquas don't "need" other people, & even though they know this, they still know AND understand the importance in having others around. Sure, Aquas can be very self-taught & withdrawn, BUT it's not like Aquas don't have friends period. Oh trust me, we Aquas fully comprehend how important the roles of others can plan in our lives; that's why we have friends, all 5 of them lol. BUT that doesn't mean that we're going to lean on them or need them every step of the way either. Aquas don't mind those "loner" moments we can sometimes have. Seems that the only folks who have a problem with this are those on the outside. It'd be diff. if an Aqua was being anti-social, but yet hated having no one around. BUT, most Aquas have a long list of contacts they can call on at any time of the day, if need be. It's just that we don't always see it necessary to rely off of others to entertain us. It's that simple. Literally.

i definitely agree with you on that a few close fr

EXACTLY get close but not too close.

I agree with Scartooth..I mean it's almost like people can't handle their Aquas ever having a "bad day" or being in a bad mood. Once people get a glimpse of the social part in their Aqua, it's almost as if they never want that side in us to go away, even if just for 5 minutes. BUT to us, we cannot stand it when others try to FORCE us to change the part in us that likes our space, sometimes for specific reasons while other times, for no specific reason/person at all. We love our friends & we love being social sometimes. BUT, we're not always "people-persons" either. Damn. Sometimes we can entertain our damn selves. Sometimes we'd rather cry in the dark & lean on Haigen Daaz, vs. leaning on all of the contacts in our phone book. That doesn't necessarily mean that our friends did anything wrong; it's just that we Aquas learned a LONG time ago that there are other forms of space/healing/entertainment that do NOT revolve around other human beings. We don't always need an audience or a bunch of people around us at all times just to prove that we are human. We ARE, it's just that we can entertain & be there for ourselves sometimes a heck of a lot more than others can. It's like sheeeeesh, forgive us for knowing how to be alone & rely on self sometimes. We don't feel so bad about that, considering most people would be so much happier if they stopped relying off of others to make them happy/feel better/have a good time.

Sometimes we have mood swings. Sometimes we're going through something & just choose not to vent to anyone about it b/c 1. We figure they won't understand (especially if we don't trust them or haven't gotten to know them fully) or 2. There's so much to say that we figure we're doing the other person a FAVOR by just keeping it all in, vs. releasing all of our baggage onto that person. And I'm not going to lie, sometimes we'll purposely ignore someone and/or suddenly need space BUT probably from the very people who don't understand this about us. We'll deal with those types of people by simply NOT dealing with them; We figure we'll SHOW them better than we can tell them that the part in us that demands space isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The more people fight with us about this or try to change us, the more we get turned off & let our rebellious side come out. We are not the same 24-7. We change & we go back & forth. Dammit, sometimes I want to have a night on the town with 50 friends. Other times, alone time sounds awesome
