Is this an aquarius thing or something darker?

I used to, and still believe a woman I met was a textbook aquarius. Always late. More guy friends than girls. A big charming, brilliant, weirdo who beats to her own drum. Extremely self-assured, and capable, she epitomizes the dgaf about what others think. Her head is always in the clouds, and she's as adventurous as they come. Always making plans.

Lately, a lot of warning signs have been popping up. Aquarius woman bounces between this extremely bubbly, laughing, charming woman to complete silence and indifference depending on who she is with. With me, she'll talk, "fake" laugh often, and be sociable. A friend who I introduced her to, and she's known for a few months moved into her extra bedroom. They've always been friendly in groups, when I was around. But he told me as soon as I left she talked about the rules of the apartment and then barely said a word for the rest of the week. He could walk circles around her and she wouldn't acknowledge his existence. When I went to visit on the weekend, she went right back to this sociable, laughing person.

Friend asked her last roommate about this, who happened to be one of her oldest friends. He said that's just how she is. She bounces between hot and cold for no apparent reason. People get tired of her shit and stop being friends with her because of it. It's easy to take it personally and most people do because it makes you feel like you've done something wrong.

She cycles through friends very quickly, rarely keeping any very long(over a year). Barely talks to her "best" friends. Her friend said when he lived there, they didn't get along. He asked her about the constant loss of friends, and she got angry over it. They haven't talked in a month. Not because something happened, but just because she stopped talking to him.

I've noticed her ability to empathize with people is lacking and even asked her about it. She said she empathizes with people she cares about, but otherwise not really. I also noticed she has shiny new toy mentality. When she first meets people she is ultra friendly, constantly reach out, hangs out a ton, and make a lot of jokes. Over time she'll become more matter of fact, serious, all the time. She almost never makes jokes anymore or reaches out if not goal oriented. Make plans, or ask for something, etc. You talk to her, and she'll forget thing you've told her about yourself in short time.

I made a random joke about her having a giant smile on her face on a picture I took. I said she was either really happy or a sociopath who is way too good at faking being happy. She said she was a little bit of both. My friend joked that she is a sociopath, and I'm starting to question.

You guys can't expect people to be "on" in every circumstance. She was in her own home and wanted to be comfortable in her own damn space. Why would she need to entertain a roommate cause he wanted some attention. It's her house, does she need to go hide in her room to get quiet time?

People can be happy or sad or in different. It's called moods for a reason. Everyone has boundaries and needs to respect people choice for privacy. When she wants to entertain, she does. This is the reason why I can't keep female friends either. I don't reach out, and I don't care about losing people. I'm selfish and if I tell you I'm not the type to reach out, then by all means feel free to reach out to me.

I don't have many friends at all cause I don't keep in contact well but that doesn't mean I'm a psycho path just cause I don't want to smile in your face all the damn time.

This is not an "Aqua" trait, it's a human personality trait and if you can't accept the person for who she is, then she really doesn't need you in her life to begin with.

I definitely hear the selfish type. You've made many assumptions, jumped to the extremes, and ignored so much of what I wrote. Perfectly normal not to want to talk all the time. Not normal to not talk much at all to your new roommate in the course of a full week. Nobody said anything about needing you to smile all the time. That's just where you brought it.

Why is it not normal to not talk to some one you moved in as a roommate? They aren't besties? Why does she need to talk to them. They are renting a space in her house and they are paying for that space. When she has something to say I'm sure she will say it but not everyone is that sociable. She outlined the house rules, what was the person expecting? It seems like they got the wrong idea of how it was gonna be once they moved in and had ulterior motives. Otherwise why would you care how a roommate is treating you, or rather not treating you?

I jumped to extremes but you called her a sociopath? lol

Honestly, how does your mind work? Do you just read ten things, focus on one, ignore the other nine, and then rant about it? Do you need someone to be your bestie to merely say hi, hello, how was your day? Did you ignore the fact that we've been hanging out for more months and perfectly friendly in groups? She's referred to him as a friend, and calls him one.

Did you ignore the fact that even when she was living with her bestie, she acted the same way? Oh wait... yes you did ignore all that because your reading comprehension is terrible, yet you are very opinionated and seem to enjoy speaking down to people.

Hey you asked for an opinion and I gave it, don't like it? Not really my problem. That's what an opinion is for. When an Aqua jumps in here and tells you that you're right for calling her a sociopath cause she doesn't want to deal with people all the time, then I will tell you that you can shove my opinion up my ass but until then. šŸ˜„

Right.... she said what I was thinking. I truly don’t see the issue. I get like this at times. There was a Gem girl that I once got really close to, needless to say she wanted to start hooking up with me but I’m not into girls. She got mad and talked about me behind my back. She didn’t think the people she told would tell me, and I didn’t tell her they did. I began to act differently with her. I’d speak, but i wasn’t going to stick around and talk because she showed me that she couldn’t be trusted. Later she text me saying Im fake and acting different. Does that make the Aqua weird or the other person weird for not trying to understand why she’s behaving that way... because it’s for a reason. I think people get too butthurt if someone decides you two no longer vibe and find excuses and make up shit to say about you. But instead of trying to diagnose the Aqua diagnose why it’s such an issue for you? If you don’t like her actions just move on. Sounds like she did.

What I highlighted rang the most true. If we were cool and I become distant with you, cold or aloof. It’s for a reason. I’ve had this happen a few times with a Cancer sun/Sag moon. I would grow distant with her because I was tired of her BS and drama. She’s purposely try to provoke me to get a reaction out of me or talk shit because I wouldn’t react emotionally to situations where she’s have no control over her emotions.

And as you said, they don’t take it well. They make it into a bigger thing and talk shit about you etc. I just keep quiet because I’ve moved passed it. But a lot of people don’t understand that and assume you’re a mute or don’t have a case. A smart Aqua always store information to be used in a ā€œjust in caseā€ scenario and will sit back and watch you hang yourself.

Exactly! Like how OP made a thread about it and it’s obvious they’ve discussed it with friends... seriously I’m sure Aqua knows they’re talking ish about her behind her back. But she’s a sociopathšŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø.

MY question is why do you need to create a thread about it, and what are you to her?
I'm someone who's friends with two people who seem to have a weird dynamic going on. I'm also someone who's interested in the aquarius but relegated to just being friends. All this just makes me wonder what's going on with her since I'd like to get to know her better.

She's fine with me in that whenever we meet up, the conversation usually flows and she's happy and laughing. But now a good friend is telling me he sees two completely opposite people when they're alone. When I met her five months ago she had just lost her closest, best, friend. Now 5 months later, her last remaining close, best friend, who has known her for years, has confirmed what my friend said. That she's lost most of her friends because she pings pongs back and forth between someone who is very charming and friendly, to someone who acts like you aren't even there. That it can drive you crazy as you blame yourself for the drastic shift in personalities. He himself never had a major fight with her, but they haven't talked in a month just because she's shifted to a very icy person around him.

I think we’re very particular with people. Also, it’s the need for space issue. For me, if I don’t like you it’s pretty obvious and I never try to fake it for the sake of being nice. Most people can’t take the brutal honesty. But that’s me. IDGAF! If I really want to get to know someone though, you won’t find someone more witty, lovable and as funny as us. šŸ™‚

Aquarians are a very sociable sign, my dad had many friends when I was a little girl he would always bring me around them and I would love it they always had fun dinner dates and coffee meet ups, not forgetting going to the park to all play the guitar. But at home he was very quiet, just in his space and would write poems use his laptop and just watch movies and relax.

Aquarians are very sociable people but you have to realise she’s in her own space? And often they want to be by themselves.

I do find her absolutely mesmerizing when she's in one of her happier states. Charming, brilliant, kind, and funny in an understated way. Just plain fun to be around.

It's just a weird situation. I mean she's the one who invited my friend to move in with her saying she isn't comfortable with complete strangers being roommates. She also talked about how she would rather have a friend as a roommate than live alone because she likes to have someone around she can talk to about the little thing. Then when my friend moves in, she can go days saying nothing to him. If he tries to initiate conversation she gives the shortest possible reply. But if I'm around they seem to converse just fine.

you tell em girl *high five* honestly im quite the same i dont always smile but i do to greet people but after that im in the clouds again,its face wrecking to smile all the time it hurts,i socialize and laugh and joke with people but there comes a time when i need to recharge its draining to be bubbly all the time,it pains me when people think im superficial just because i need a time out,they judged me even before they knew me,i lose friends all the time too im not good with reaching out either but then thats when i see who my true friends are because they dont want to lose me so they reach out from time to time when im too busy with everything that i hardly have time to hang out with someone,only those true remain

Oh boy...

I can see where she is coming from!

That other guy is a roommate - why does she need to be talking much to him? Is he there to rent a room or to make new friends?

If there is a friendship then it's nice to have to some extent but us aquas value privacy a lot and having a roomie craving our attention although we are not even friends is just annoying! So yes, her not talking that much is normal if all she wanted was a new roommate and not a new friend.

I can also understand why she cuts many ties, after we get to know people we are free to decide if we want them in our life or not. If they don't fit into our need for comfort, privacy or down time then there is no need to hold up fake conversations just to stay in touch.

Why are people so fucking needy?!
