I'm just curious, if you were dealing with a very intense and stressful situation, would you tend to shut everyone out? I mean all your friends and family until everything was completely dealt with and the dust had settled? I feel like I'm being ignored but have heard from mutual friends that my Aries friend is not talking to anyone and hardly spoke at all during a ball tournament on the weekend. He didn't look very happy in the pics and they had won the championship which I'm sure he was ecstatic about. He's usually grinning ear to ear in any pics of his ball team. I'm just worried and not sure if he is just dealing with shit and is ignoring everyone and will come find me when it's done or if he's just too chicken to man up and tell me he doesn't want to talk to me...

How do you typically handle tough situations?

I keep to myself until I'm over it or have dealt with it. Alone. Maybe that's my cancer moon? When I'm dealing with issues being around people and talking sucks the life out of me and mentally I'm not even "there" anyway so no need to be there physically.

Sometimes I do it because I am sad or stressed and sometimes for no reason at all. One thing I have noticed about Aries is that we are loners at heart. No matter how much friends we have or make we still need our alone time. So sometimes I just like to spend my weekends alone, running errands, reading up on astrology, listening to new music, cleaning, or being lazy. I am around so many people during the week I need my me time.

When I am into something pretty heavy duty I tend to get VERY focused on that problem. I will shut out everyone and everything as I try and work out a solution.

"Nagging" is a really good way to get your head ripped off. Unless you want a very angry person on your hands, and one who will remember you pissing them off when they needed their space, go to some lengths to avoid nagging.

Asking a few pointed questions, stepping back and listening on the other hand is much different. There aren't nearly enough people in the world who know how to start a conversation, and then shut the heck up and simply listen. Just listen. It is a marvelous talent to have.
