Gemini friend finds me 'confrontational',

So I was at dinner last night, catching up with a friend from a few years ago. And we began discussing addiction, and what he's learning in medical school. Mind you, I'm an addict in recovery as I've openly shared here. And he was claiming that he had the 'cure-all' solution to ending addiction. And for me, as an Aries I'm going to have an opinion. And not be afraid to share it. Especially if it's about something that I have personal experience with.
Basically, he said because I wasn't agreeing with his viewpoint, I was 'confrontational'. "All Aries are confrontational, and tenaciously defend their point and they don't know how to listen." And when I said our mutual friend was an Aries as well, he claimed. "She's different, she's nice and quiet." Um ok, go fuck yourself lol I didn't say that, I simply said "Aries are passionate about what we stand for, yes. We're strong in our convictions, however we are willing to listen. Blanket statements like that just make you seem ignorant."

I think this Gem just couldn't handle the fire lol

Thank you! So agree! And he kept correcting me if he didn't agree. He was very abrasive, in fact. I found his actions entirely hypocritical. And the fact that he claimed our mutual Aries friend was 'nice and quiet', it's just clear that he doesn't appreciate a woman with a voice lol

You're like my sister, LOL. Confrontational! We are all blessed with different view points and he shouldn't compare you with the other Aries woman. And I didn't like his description of her, "She's nice and quiet". Even roses have thorns! 😉

😕 Not sure if Gem problem, or medical student volumetric-burett-stuck-up-his-bum problem.

I was told by Leo that I get fixated on things and won't let them go, that I keep going back to them. My environmental professor told me the same thing.

lol I just say how I feel. I'm very respectful, not infantile. So I find his perception of my opinions a bit frustrating. But his delta-like response isn't worth fretting over lol
Not do I like it; I found that to be troubling.

Him, sorry lol

lol No worries. I just let it be, I have a twelfth house moon, so it caused me to shut down. I found it hard to even continue our conversation, because I wanted to hide the rest of the night. He seemed very combative, as if he's been waiting to one-up me. Was strange.

He's just a dip lol and you know what, Aries can get a bit hung up on certain things. But who cares? Don't we all at some point? Aries eventually let it go.

My Taurus dominance made his comments hard to let go lol so here's a text I sent him this morning.

"Ihave to get something off my chest about Sunday.
You claimed I was being confrontational, for merely disagreeing with you. Disagreeing with your view on something I've had a very personal experience with. I didn't yell, didn't call you wrong. I simply didn't agree. If you didn't like my tone or delivery, that's your own perception. You can tell me if you found it unsavory, but confrontational was a bit far. And to make those silly faces that you did, calling me scary? Infantile. I think you just don't like to be challenged. And then to make a blanket statement about Aries and our inability to listen, I found that quite hypocritical of you. Everything I said, you had dispute it. With your overbearing viewpoint. You're not always right, Kenny. News flash. You came off quite combative. Like you'd been waiting to one-up me, or Aries all together.
You seem to have a trigger with this particular zodiac sign. And I think it's silly. I don't claim that all Geminis as a group love the sound of their own voice, just a select few. 😉
And then to compare me to another Aries that's a friend? Just childish all together. Clearly, you're harboring some feelings against Aries that need to be sorted out. We're passionate people who yes, have strong opinions. But we don't challenge a person's every word out of their mouth as you did with me.
If I made you uncomfortable, then fair enough. We all have defects to reevaluate. But perhaps you should take a look at how you were responding to me."

If that makes me confrontational, oh well. He's a "know it all", and he needs to take a look and how he responds to others.
