Do Aries get easily offended?

Well I have a good friend at my job and she's a really great person to be around with. But she's has this issue where if I don't compliment her on something or acknowledge her existence then she explodes like dynamite. I remember one time she got a new hair style and she wanted to know what I thought about it. I said it looked alright. The reaction on her face made it looked like I stepped on her or shot her. She get really pissed afterwards and punched me in the shoulder and I punched her back and it ended in us slap boxing each other. It was really funny and gave me a daily does of adrenaline, but I seriously meant what I said about her hair. I'm not going to cover the truth or give someone what they want, I'll tell it like I see it. I mean no offense to anyone who's an Aries. But do you guys get easily offended? If so. What ticks the button?

I have heard rumors to the effect that Aries have just a tad of an ego. Of course, you can't believe everything you read, and I most certainly DO NOT suffer from this issue!!!!

Females in general, on the other hand, well, you have just begun that "Voyage of Discovery" my good young man.

Hmm I can only speak for myself, but I used to get easily offended as well. It didn't take much for me to get mad at everything and I took it all personal. Luckily I grew out of it though! I still can get sensitive though, depending on WHO makes a remark. On a bad day people whose opinion I value can really get to me still.


I think however, its the immature, sensitive and insecure people, who get easily offended, which has to do with more than just the sun sign.

Not typically, but if you're someone I care about and your opinion is important to me that might have stung a bit. Maybe she just really hoped you'd like it and was excited about it. I can understand being disappointed, but if she got pissed at you she is being ridiculous

Wait, she cared? I didn't even know.

Year older than me. Her birthday is tomorrow. So she'll be 21.

Then it could be two things. Either she is just still young-minded and can't cope with the fact that not everybody will acknowledge or like her (also she might not be able to deal with criticism yet) or she values YOUR opinion especially.

Men can be so clueless...*sigh*

On another note, unless you don't mind being hit, I would draw the line NOW. Otherwise, she may think it's acceptable (and even cute) behavior and will surely repeat it.

Nah I don't mind it. Just so I can discourage her to hit me I actually encourage her to do so and be very masochistic about it. That's enough to drive her away. Sometimes I like bothering her and I think vice versa. But I stated my honest opinion on that one.

I don't see why she'd value my opinion the most. I've been friends with her since maybe middle school and even then she'd always bother me about her relationship issues and let's be honest- On rare occassions I'll help her out with her issues. But she's frets over the littlest things in men and is more of a "I want Channing Tatum, not Bruce Willis who has a stable job and is nice to people" kind of woman. It annoys me to the core. But somehow I care for some reason. I just don't see why'd she value the opinion of cardboard (quoting CC)

Then it's definitely the self-esteem option. I guess she might be used to getting validation or attention from you and when she doesn't get it she thinks "What the hell is wrong with him?!" but by that she actually feels that something might be wrong with her.

She just needs to develop some more and not get her validation from the outside world.

She has a long way to go then.

I love your pic lol.
She sounds very needy tbh. We can be offended but as others have mentioned it is usually regarding more serious issues. It depends if she is like this with everyone or just you? Or maybe that really doesn't matter at the end of the day..

Keep doing what you're doing and telling it like it is. You're not responsible for her happiness. She has self esteem issues but also sounds like a right royal pain _—

Oh believe me. She is. She got other people to deal with during the day at work. She might just be like this with because I actually tell her how it is and I'm not sugarcoating it. By royal pain. I mean complete Girly Girl that I have to deal with. A trope that I haven't had to deal with since 3rd grade. She's been like this since forever. And it makes me shiver to the core with disgust most of the time. But it's my job to cope with it and just pretend that trope doesn't exist.

Sorry crappy connection made me post twice.

hmmmm...I don't easily get offended, but I get annoyed with passive aggressive behaviour. I would rather someone come out and say what he/she was thinking, rather than saying something different to please me. The thing with Aries sometimes is, we like to impress people we are close to-maybe she wanted to do that with you? I think her disappointment came out in a strange way, and she ended up retaliating with violence instead of talking about her feelings. Aries is also a sensitive fire, and at times when we're in situations we don't like, we do silly things. Personally, I would rather you told me it looked alright than sugarcoat it. Anyway, she seems sensitive (which is not the case for all rams) and could probably learn to receive constructive criticism or any form of critique in a more mature way. Hope you're not bruised too badly! 😛

Ha. She can barely make her punches hurt. The hardest she can is like getting hit with a brick with a bunch of blankets wrapped around it. It didn't hurt trust me.

I read something once that resonated with me. It was something along the lines of... an Aries will complete a heroic act and get embarrassed when you thank him/her for it, but if they get a new haircut and you fail to mention it they will be completely irritated.

It's definitely true for me. I'm extremely sensitive.

Lol! Aries women don't like shitty comments about their looks.

Also never disrespect a Aries woman with crude tactless arrogant behaviour. I find it's unbecoming and common. If I'm around you behave and have class.

Oh and never provoke jealousy...god help you. The passive one will drop you like a hot rock and ice out, the aggressive one might punch you in the nose!
