Very Friendly

This topic was created in the Aquarius forum by chemengin on Saturday, March 17, 2012 and has 56 replies.

Are Aquarians Truly Friendly or Aloof?

Aquarians are often perceived as friendly and open but can also seem aloof initially. They may take time to warm up and show their true warmth. This duality can make them appear distant at first but highly personable once comfortable. Understanding this helps clarify their social behavior and the reason for mixed signals.

do you agree with this description that aquas are very friendly? not to say that we are rude. but how can we be aloof and 'very friendly' at the same time. or is it that we seem aloof at first then we appear very friendly.

basically i want to know why..oh why..oh why..did this woman at my bff's wedding, that sat next to me at the reception. thought it was a good idea to tell me about her triple bypass surgery. showed me her scare and continued to tell me about her gastric procedure she had last week. she wanted to show me that scare but she had on a dress and couldnt show me. wtf...asked me did i want to see, we can go to the bathroom. NO! I DONT KNOW YOU!!! EVEN IF I DID,I DONT WANT TO SEE THAT...is what i was thinking. i just wanted to eat my dry ass chicken and enjoy the music..but nooooooo.

my fiance just sitting there smirking and giggling...like this is funny. he said, "they only seem to come to you babe". i thought about it..he was right.

any of you guys experience this stuff on the regular.

tbh it happened to me 3 times last week. but those stories are gross. dont want to relive them.

some aquas, as a few in other signs, give off that light house affect - very approachable, good listener, savior, etc etc... the light is so bright it attracts not only those looking for a little guidance or comforting, but those buried deep in the woodwork - they just come crawling out of no where. The light is even brighter when you are an empath.

Lmao. Ewww. Yeah we are friendly and ppl tend to get comfortable and open up. In some cases u dont even wanna hear their revelations, lol. I told t-bird a while back about Sean, my tattoo artist, he showed me his dick tat. That was mighty embarrassing, i've never seen a white dick before- that one reminded me of a finger biscuit.

i get 'i do not know why i just told you that. even \significantpersontothem\ does not know this.' i ask questions until they stop answering, which they never do. if i can tell something needs to emerge for them, then i lead them with questions. sometimes they cry, sometimes they are just relieved. i have been told being around me is like taking a xanax - lol

Lol. Where have u been, doll? Long time no see. U say ur into spirituality, so am i, its a hard path, but im learning a lot. Ever heard of the site, spiritual forums? They helped me understand some of the strange things i was experiencing, eg. Kundalini rising and understanding the opening of the chakras, etc.

Hey muff, thats true, ppl say some really weird stuff to me too. When they are done im like, 'u arent going to kill me, r u?'. I've heard a lot of out of this world things, from abortions to ppl who have had sexual relationships with their siblings. Im always too afraid to say anything. A lady who was working for my neighbor actually told me that she have been having an affair for years with her half brother (who is married btw) and didnt know how to end it. Her 21 year old son didnt know that uncle was infact his daddy and he was bothering her with whereabouts of his father. That scared me a bit, but oh well..

and see this is why in the aquarius description they are always listing psychologist or psychiatrist as a good field for us. i just thought its because we are good listeners.

I've been hiding... LOL. Actually my Leo friend is still taking all my time. It's been fun. Plus, got my atro software working so trying to remember what I'm doing there.... and the BTR shows...

I've heard of several Spiritual forms, but It takes a while for me to look into them. This place just popped up while searching some things.

If you aren't doing anything around 5pm EST check into http://www.blogtalkradio.com/cathiesdistantechos - normally open topic when no callers... and music to boot.

Unconquered, your statement is true. I have many ppl who think they are my friends and im thinking, 'whats your name, again?'. Not to sound snobbish, but i talk to everybody, at the same time i dont consider them as friends, just ppl to talk with.

Or just nodded a hello to them once and suddenly ur bffs, lol. Weird indeed. Whats your name again, best friend? I wonder what causes that..This other lady invited my son to her daughter's birthday party, we met once at a clinic while the kids were getting immunization. I forgot all about her, yesterday while doing some shopping nearby my house, somebody tapped my shoulder saying, 'ur Aimaan's mom, right? Remember me?'. I lied and said i remembered but i didnt until she replayed the conversations we had at the clinic. Lol.. talk about the memory of an elephant.

LOLOLOL I don't even consider "best friend" a word or a term 😆 If we're talking then we're friends nothing much. I don't want to rank people base with how much attach they are to me since nobody is really attach to me LOL

meeting different kind of people is never boring. 😆

Unconquered, im the same way too. My friend of 13 years is just that, a friend. Other ppl are just ppl. Best friend is kind of weird. When i introduce her to other ppl, its hard for me to say, 'this is my friend so and so', i just say- this is so and so. I know she is my friend, but i feel weirded out saying it.

I get it all: the smelly nutter on the tube, an old lady telling me her life story at the bus stop, random kids wanting to play with me or they stare at me intently on a bus for the entire journey, crackheads/junkies etc. I get stares a lot as well which annoys me sometimes. I remember some random guy who was behind me walked round and stood right in front of me and stared at me. I know a lot of things I shouldn't due to the randoms. But all good social experience LOL

It's like the more I try to melt into the crowd and go about my business, the more often it happens.

My circle of friends is very very small... and these are people I consider my personal family... everyone else is a "bud" or "that person" if i can't remember their name. It took me a long time to even accept my close friends saying "love ya girlfriened" or "hey girlfriend". I think it was a growth process. Trusting each other. It's funny though, all but one of those who i consider family are spread throughout the world. I only have one local real friend.

Trust me....yeah, the elderly are cool. I have a few who I natter with when I see them.

Last week, got on a tube and got one almighty whiff of some man...my god, he stank. I had to pull off some quick matrix manouvere so I could jump off one tube carridge and onto another just before the doors closed. No way I was gonna sit there and inhale him for 5 stops. Anyways, I got some inside laughs watching the others suffer the smell...when that train took off, you wanna see everybody taking scarfs wrapping it around their faces, some just putting their heads down, like that was gonna help lol...the smelly man just walked round the carridge, eating a baguette, none the wiser. In my head I was like; WHY are you still sitting there?! Run!!

LMAO!!

i forgot about the homeless people, but its my fault they chat me up. when i go get my sub for lunch, i get a large sub, have them cut it in half and get some extra chips and bottled water. to give it to whomever (homeless) i see sitting nearby. so yea..if i feed them i deserve to hear their story i guess...

but one guy i met he ended up moving in a halfway house and got a job at a grocery store. he bagged my groceries sometimes. he was a chemengin. it was nice to talk to him about methods from the old days. we never talked about how he became homeless. dont think he wanted too.

i enjoy those moments but the old lady..ugh. but i guess with situations like this we cant pick and choose.

Yes Aquarians are usually "friendly" but patronising along with it I find! And I don't like being patronised! It seems like you are always laughing at other people and not necessarily in a good way (making fun of them - but do you like to be made fun of YOURSELVES?)

I'm so sorry Virgo. A lot of us don't mean to come across as patronizing. It also your perspective. Don't take it to heart or let it bother you, please. It's not really others we laugh at, it's more the situations and how things fall into play. Unfortunately, sometimes people don't know how to express that separation. We do laugh at ourselves daily - more than once if we can.

Message to AquaQuinn: thank you for your response regarding being patronising. I admit that as a Virgo I can be a rather earnest and thin-skinned individual so perhaps this is why I find Aquarius perhaps the most challenging sign to deal with (you Aquas do like to tease and I am not always in the mood for that - we Virgos are I think very emotional deep down but do not usually show it). By the way: one thing I would like to say to you personally that I respect you for is to have put up your birthchart as your "identifying sign" here - I think more people should do that as it is very interesting and helpful and since as a beginner on here I have not yet put up an identifier myself I am thinking of doing the same. But how do I do this?

or is it that we seem aloof at first then we appear very friendly.

i think it's that. for me personally, i walk about minding my own. i don't see faces or pay attention to anyone around me like im in my own little bubble. im seriously in my own world lol. so whenever strangers approach me or start engaging w/ me out of nowhere, it's alarming @ first. kind of like they popped my bubble if that makes sense lol. n i'll be thinking "DO I KNOW YOU?!" "WHY R U TALKING TO ME?!" but im not intending to be rude. i'm just startled i guess.

also, i think aquas naturally just have a friendly disposition that looks inviting & welcoming to people. n i know we naturally attract a lot of weirdos too so that's probably y we get a lot of stranger traffic =P

LOL my bro gets that. he has this mean expression on his face when he is just sitting around. you wouldnt think so if you saw all the pics on his fb page. showing all 30+ teeth in every pic. so funny. but people think he is mean. but for some reason they approach him too, telling him stories and stuff. I talked to him about that this weekend. he said he gets mostly relationship complaints from men and women LOL.
