Does pride get in your way?

It seems to control my actions in life. It even at some point always seems to make me cut someone off. I finally cut someone off awhile ago that I'd accually would want back in life the matter what the relationship was but I can't ever feel like the bitch and pride gets in the way so I'll never reach out.

Is it painful not do reach out ?

It can be for a very prideful person. Especially if you regret the decision

What do you fear happening if you let go your pride and reach out?

I'm asking this seriously. I have pride issues too, but usually my other feelings are strong enough to overcome it, so I wonder how it is different for you.

It's different with me I think because I have always been someone that always told myself most those emotions and certain actions are a weakness. And being a "man" or "strong" is more important. I guess it's a Aries thing especially with my type of past.

I am 29 btw and yes there is other things that stops me from reaching this person out. but I never in my life reached anyone out or took someone back.

Ya

Oh yes it does. And I hate it. I've missed so many opportunities because of my pride. I'm a leo so I don't think you can go worse than us when it comes to pride. I take everything personally and I'm very sensitive. My guard goes up the moment I hear something I don't wanna hear. It's exausting living our lives like that.. it keeps us up at nights. We're gonna be people with lots of regrets if we keep going.. I'm trying really hard to change that about me considering how many people have tried to talk to me about my attitude problem.. oh well.

Yes & no with the pride issues .. I was more prideful back in the day but I learned to let that shit go , for the most part.. I still have pride though , it will never completely go away & I wouldn't want it to.. We should all have some pride

Lol, the person I want to reach back out is a Leo and that is why I haven't because I know them to well. I am the one that broke it off and she tried reaching out about 4 times in a 6mo period until I finally told her I don't want to talk anymore. It's been another 6 months and she hasn't contacted me and I don't blame her. I know we would be talking still but I didn't want to take the chance or continue playing the Leo post breakup routine.

Leo pride is something else exp after you hurt them.

Aries/Leo. This is a wonderful combination! I also now couples that are married with this compatibility. I say make the step and reach out to her! 🙂

No. I will clearly extend about 10 olive branches or more.

Pride is calorie free, fat free, carb free, sodium free.

Swallow it.

Its not even about pride. Its about realizing who is important to you and who isnt.

I don’t know if it’s typical of an Aries, I’m not bothered by pride, and I think Aries are pretty fearless, usually they just go for what they want. I think pride is more a Leo thing.

Let me ask you this....are you sure it's pride? Or is it self respect?? If it's self respect because people are using or taking advantage of you....then removing someone or setting boundaries is a healthy thing to do. This is something I actually struggle with myself. I don't remove people from my life soon enough when I should.

I don't consider myself a prideful aries....so I don't think I cut people off from that. Self respect? I'm getting better with that. 😉

I see my pride as a lifesaver. I'm mature and I know when to put it to the side. But usually for me, it has been my armor against those trying to hurt me

I being me basically said okay won't do it agian. She said I don't need to be bitter. And hopes I'm well and knows I didn't want to talk. i replied sorry she said it's ok it happens. This is shortest version her tone seem cold in the text so.

Now I didn't reply she hasn't said anything else more and I'ma go do my ignore thing and take a l

Then go for it. I dont get it-what do you have to lose? She seems alright not nasty or dismissive whatsoever. As she said to you, why so bitter. Lower your guard, humble yourself a little. It aint that big a deal.

I replied back just saying I hope she is okay and is doing better with her health she found out she has a kidney disease couple months after we broke up and a month before I cut of ties. And i also said she was beautiful and strong and I'm sure she is okay. And that I'm doing a little better.

It's been a year or so sense we split.

She then proceeds to change her profile pic and cover photo again mins before she replied sayin kinda the same shit short version she is not okay and that she did go back to her baby dad and he left out of no where two weeks ago. Her health is so so and she is really depressed and the matter what I will always have a place in her heart wheater I'm a distant friend I don't see or talk to. I wish I had a cold heart glad your well. *the cold heart Is a shot at me*

I was kinda like ehh I just replied sorry you didn't have to tell me anything etc etc.

She said I didn't want you to think I'm ok I'm far from it.

Told her to be strong

She said I try so hard but i always end up breaking down.

I said I know exactly what you mean. And then she didn't reply after seeing my shit.

So ehh she either is mad and thinks I'm being a dick and cold and wants to ignore and push me away like I did here after the breakup. Or she is just depressed about everything like I thought that's going on in her life besides us and she thought my response was about to be emotional and about us.

I'm the one that kept trying to not talk and disappear she always wanted to talk so I know something isn't the same. It's okay tho I kinda feel better and prob answered some things I just hope it didn't hurt her.
