Random questions for you all:


1. Do you always seek out to please everyone to ease the situation or not create drama,especially the general public even when its not even the best solution?

2. Do you all go after you want even if its emotionally based or do you fear getting lost in your emotions that you don't pursue it (and ultimately live in short regret)?

3. Do you all expect people to just understand what you are thinking?



I'll add more later 😄

More questions:

1. Are you guys like sheldon cooper and don't understand sarcasm?

2. I understand alot of aquas if not most/all are logic based and don't want to get involved in emotions so much. Is it because of fear of being vulnerable, fear of feeling "weak, fear of things blowing up and turning into a bad situation? Or something else altogether

3. I know you guys expect others to be direct with you but admit it HOW direct are all of you?

When people drop hints and you don't react,

Do you really just not notice? OR
Do you realize it's a hint and not aknowledge it because it's something you don't want to do or respond to?



Sometimes I don't notice... at all.

Sometimes I do notice and I just choose not to respond because I expect them to be direct. This will depend on how well I know the person.

1. Sarcasm is my second language.

2. Just because I choose to be logical doesn't been I don't react emotionally. Just because I don't talk about 'things' doesn't mean I'm being logical. It is not a fear of anything, it is what it is. "I feel like shit" does nothing to stop me from feeling like shit.

3. I'm as direct as they come, as long as I disagree with it. Which isn't often.

1. i LOVE sarcasm...if i appear i don't understand it, it's only because it was of poor quality...
2. good question...i have no idea why...maybe because i feel uncomfortable when too many emotions are involved..BUT...we are speaking about emotional situations, not about having feelings, right—
3.i only know two ways: i am either too direct or i ignore...i really haven't found the middle way.

oooo I like these questions

Yes majority of the time I like my friendship cirlces, work place and every other social interaction to be balanced which is why I go out of my way to ask people if they would like a coffee lol??_.at my house the first thing you'll hear me say when you walk through the door is always "coffee"? and then we would sit down and have a yarn??_.I do realise that I can't please everyone but coffee helps keeping my bitches sweet.

If its relationship based I will proceed with extreme prejudice and caution because nothing scares me more than becoming slave to my emotions in a relationship??_??_.If my emotions want to pursue something constructive like a career or something that inspires passion in me then I couldn't be happier

Unfortunately I don't expect people to understand what I think and its frustrating when I explain an idea or conceptualise something to someone and they aren't as excited as I am about it because they don't realise my thought process and how it came to be in my mind which is what makes me most excited about sharing my idea lol??_.usually when I do art or dance my thinking process is just there in plain sight so thats why I'm attached to arts so much I guess its to let people know what I'm thinking/feeling

1. I do not like uncomfortable situations, so I will make a joke to ease tension. But I don't typically seek out ways to please everyone.
2. I do tend to go after what I want. Sometimes, yes emotions will trip me up, but I will work through them and still go after things.
3. no, yes, sometimes lol NO! it is great when someone is able to just 'get me' and vs versa.

I don't notice.. especially when it comes to men, I miss a lot of hints, I really am bad at picking up on when they are flirting or hinting at being interested.

Every once in a great while I do get an obvious one, but if it's something I don't care to be open about. I will pretend I don't notice and change the subject.

1. Sarcasm in my middle name.. and again Sheldon is not an Aqua 😛
2. Logically emotional is what I call it 🙂 Aquas are emotional, some are just careful who sees that side of us. If you see it, it means you are special to me.
3. i'm very direct, I can be blunt to my own determent.

Yes I'm talking about emotional situations.



emotional situations—? like sb crying, or screaming, or having tantrums, or..., or....—!!!

I RUN AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

when i see sb doing all this, no matter the reason, i simply get puzzled [sth like "wow! what is this?! i don't like it?! i don't know what to do! i'd better go away from this till it calms down...maybe we can TALK later"] then i wait for the other person to chill off...and we'll see...

i was in relationship with a cancer guy...his emotionality killed me...of course he didn't cry or scream...but he was full of moods and tantrums...GOD...i don't want him back...

my 10 year old daughter does that sometimes...i let her calm down and then talk...she's a libra and she rarely gets emotional...lucky me... 🙂

1. I'm nothing like Sheldon Cooper??_..Spock on the other hand

2. I am a very emotional person and I have immense compassion and empathy but its also easy for me to detach and turn it off like a light switch when it doesn't serve me any purpose??_.When I was younger I was afraid to be perceived as weak but as I got older and developed more humility I find it empowering to know I don't have all the answers and that I'm not perfect??_??_the only reason I have to be detached these days is to be strong for other people when they are falling apart.

3. Hmmnnn I have to be in a certain state of mind and with a certain audience to not be vague—_??_.I can't explain it properly let me interpret through dance??_??_I'm very direct in a lot of ways, I don't like to fuck around and save as much time as being a clear communicator as I can be. But there are times when I get really shy for some illogical reason and I mumble really badly and its really embarrassing especially if someone brings it up and say "huh"? with their face all screwed up??_. ill just say "never mind" even if there was anthrax in the sandwich they were just about to eat.

I guess my problem is I wouldn't know what it would look like if they were being emotional. The aquas I know are direct about everything and anything with everyone and are always talking and social and joking/goofing off so I wouldn't know what the emotional side would look like.

How would you act, what would you say...examples please.

Aquas experience emotions just like others. So not sure what your question really is. I'm very social, talkative, joke around etc. Do I get upset and experience emotions? sure I am human just like everyone else. Do I like to cry in front of others? Hell no. Yes I feel weak, vulnerable etc. That's why I said I only show that to select people. I typically am a happy go lucky person, I think that's due to all my sag placements, so even if I am down or sad, it is not for long. I also typically like other people unless you do me wrong, then you aren't part of my life, you get the cold emotionless side.

I do use humor to cover some of those strong feels at times or if i'm uncomfortable in a certain situation. /shrug

I guess what I'm trying to say is most aquas that I know, or from what's been described are super social and control their emotions. I refer them as Mr/Ms. Entertainer.

YOu said or soemone said in this post alot that unless they trust you and are comfortable around you that's when they allow themselves to be more vulnerable. So what would that look like.

The crying? Revealing emotional issues they have, childhood trauma. Or just are more open about things that annoy them, what does them trusting you look like since they are open individuals anyway. If they are open with everyone, how are they around people they trust.

As soon as my pet died, I started crying my eyes out for about almost an hour. Then, I texted my best friend. He immediately came over. As soon as I opened the door, BLANK FACE. I had immediately came up with the plan to go to the garden store and pick up a plant to place on top of my pet when we buried him. I ended up picking two. My friend said although my expression didn't say I was hurting, he said he could see the struggle of holding it all in. He said I acted a bit "off" given the situation and how I kept fidgeting, staring off, asking too many questions about plants and generally talking too much about everything else other than how I felt. He said the only time I wavered was when he hugged me.

I'm not going to tell someone I'm not okay. It's not a game or test, I just can't.

I also did something simular during a happy moment, an ex-bf told me he was in love with me and I just went blank face on him too. When he stated that he felt like an idiot because I didn't say or do anything, I remember my brain was saying "MOVE. SAY SOMETHING. DO SOMETHING. MOOOOOVE." I said some jibberish and started crying 😆
