i'm working on a project with this aries chick (and some other people) and on the 1st day we ended up sitting right next to each other. no interaction whatsoever but she kept staring at me. on the 2nd day, everyone else but the 2 of us apparently decided to somehow divide themselves into subgroups for lunch as though we're in high school 🙄🙄. she saw my phone wallpaper (my 5-month old son) and shared how she lost her baby 4 years ago. but a bit later on that same day while having coffee, she started saying: "where'd you get those pants? it's so hard to find something my size. are your boobs really that size? must be hard looking for ideal bras." uhh? alright sure that's normal girl talk so i'll let it go 🤷🤷

seeing my ring: "is your husband your first boyfriend? oh he's not? coz mine is my first everything. i'm a conservative religious. and your husband if he lost the facial hair looks just like mine. was the wedding on account of the baby?" a few hours later she said she's agnostic---okayyy. both can be true, she could've become agnostic later on.

4th day with me engaged in a convo with another woman (coz we both realized that we reside in proximity to each other): "you guys should chat later." grabbing my wrist as if to emphasize that I stop. but like literally everyone else was chatting and laughing amongst themselves hellooo is she empress of the world? okay maybe she's just naturally bossy but when we didn't listen and i pretended not to hear she kept pacing around until we stopped (we're all equal rank here).

is she being intentionally rude? maybe took some offense of what i'm unaware of? or is this just normal aries? i usually sit next to her coz the person I get along with the most sits next to her. but i'm just not sure if there's some backhanded stuff going on there.

thing is i rarely spoke on the first 3 days of this whole project. only agreed and nodded to everything. just loafing around drinking coffee and scrolling through my son's pics. like where did i go wrong here? only really took this project coz I'm a fan of ---- ----.

it’s not normal aries but it doesn’t look to me like she means any harm. she probably doesn’t have much of a filter when she talks but it seems like she wants to be friends with you. maybe an aries girl can answer this better. i’m a guy, i can’t really read between lines lol as far as her trying to break up a conversation between you and another girl, i didn’t really understand that either cuz i don’t care who any of my friends talk to lol i’m not their dad so lol 😅 but yeah i don’t think she means any harm. 🙂

Unevolved cardinal energy. She admires you and wants to be your friend, but her competitive side also can't resist the urge to one up you. I have experienced this with some Aries women. Sounds like a future frenemy. Proceed with caution.


she sounds both friendly yet rude.

i laughed awkwardly when she asked about my boobs but her face was stone serious.

this partly why i don't even try to make friends anymore, you never know what is even happening.

She could just be awkward. And she seemed a little possessive of you as a friend. Is she someone who doesn't have many at work?

she seems to have no problem talking to other people but she only ever hangs around me for every time we get a breather. maybe she thinks everyone else acts so high school-ish too 🤷🤷

I don't see the one-up-manship some described/responded with. I had to read three times.... especially, when seeing VirgoOPPP's baby and saying she lost hers. I'm very sympathetic to things like loss of a child. If keeping score, per se, (and it's very difficult for me to even stoop to the level of the context of this post) she has a live baby so she wins.... for those seeing "competition." My lord.

If I have a problem with people, (I'm an Aries), I tell them. When she touched me, I would have said something quick and short.

She seems lonely and socially awkward.

Even though she lost her baby 4 years ago, that may be the thing that is making her fixate a little...

I was kidnapped at a couple months old by a lady who lost all her kids in a car accident. My mom left me in the car to run to the store (this is the 70's). They looked for me for hours and the lady had me behind the store just holding and rocking me.

She may need someone to talk to.
While trying to find some common ground to form a foundation of sorts, hence the scattergun tactic during conversations.

Even after becoming a mother, you're still as clueless and easily offended as always.



as if you're not easily offended yourself


I'm not easily offended - I just have unpopular opinions that I'm not afraid to express. Big difference.

But you carry on with your gaslighting and immature bitchiness. I predict you will be a bitter single mother within the next five years, so make the most of things while you still can.

An Aries woman, who feels alienated by the clique culture of her work group, and for reasons only known to her, gravitates to you, hoping for some kind of connection.

And what do you do? You come on here and bitch about her, like a typical two-faced Virgo woman.

As I've told you many times before, you're both immature and devoid of any self-awareness. Not only that but you love projecting your toxic traits onto others.

Next time, before posting another crappy thread, take a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror.

I can't see anywhere where I bitched about her. Literally I was wondering if I made a social error.

I actually agree with him and @MyStarsShine , although not as harsh as he was lol

But yeah...you know, when people are talking, they are not thinking. It's only when we get silent that we start to think.

Maybe she just doesn't want to think anymore, and she is trying her best to be more, social...Trying to change. Sometimes it's just simple as that.

And she is an Aries, I doubt she got bad intentions, like Star said..Aries naivety.

Still, you do you 🙂

you were right all along. she doesn't have bad intentions but she's super arrogant and brags all day.

she unfriended me after i posted a a pic of a pig wearing lipstick on my fb. i mean lol not my problem if anyone feels personally attacked over something random like that.

told this one girl next to me how embarrassing that i'm late for 5 minutes and this aries chick heard and butted in LOUDLY with: "I've never been late ever."

uhhhh? okay good for you.

idk how long i can stand this tbh.

I suspect in all cases of bragging/arrogance, she probably believes she's just making conversation and speaking her mind. I don't know if it's true for all Rams, but I know for myself, I've tried to make conversation in the past through trying to relate to what was being talked about at the current moment in time.

Like:

You were talking about being late. She doesn't have any instances of being late to relate to, so she mentions she's never being late, because being late was the topic.

Like:

Sees you with a ring. Figures you were married. She was married so husband became the topic. So she tried to relate to you by talking about her husband.

Like (I'll make an example out of thin air):

If you said like you struggle with a certain part of this project, she could be like she has done it before at blah blah blah company (therefore she knows how to do that part and you wouldn't need to worry about that part).
click to expand



that happened! when i was chatting up one lady (we both came from the same industry previously, this being a shift from what we usually do), this aries butted in saying how she has been in the industry for 10 years and bringing up an even BIGGER company and how SO MUCH HARDER it was to get in there than the one we were talking about.

it's like 2 kids talking about having a freaking chocolate cake on their birthday together and some kid comes and says: "had chocolate cake on mine too but with SPRINKLES on top and Beyonce came over to greet me happy birthday."

happy for you but 🙄🙄

I dont see it as typical aries behaviour per say, but we can be very curious and direct in our questioning, which can be inappropriate. Like a child.

How old is she?


she's 32. announced it herself loudly, proudly and unprompted to everyone as she regaled us with tales of her rad party house, crazy rich husband and how she dances with the tambourine, singing religious songs out in the open while telling people over a smoke: "i'm actually agnostic."

someone apparently borrowed money from her amongst us but she refuses to tell coz 'don't wanna make the person feel embarrassed' (she announced this loudly for everyone to hear HA!) now everyone just wants to go to her rad party house. i hope she knows the sort she's attracting with all that horn-blowing.

i really tried my best to fake it yesterday but I think my face can't do it. we were having lunch when she was bragging about something and i just kept looking away and FEEL my eyes rolling oh gawd.

lol was she homeschooled by any chance?

maybe she never really learned how to properly socialize with others and how to “read the room”. maybe she has a hard time reading people’s body language and moods.



she probably grew up in a house where people perhaps accommodated her so she never really learned to read people’s facial expressions and moods (for example, when you grow up in a house where your parents are like a ticking time bomb, the kids will naturally learn to “read the room” or read their parents’ moods etc and they will continue to use this skill when they become adults out in society) it doesn’t seem like she has that skill? but that also means she was probably loved by her parents so it’s not a bad thing lol

anyway yeah i still don’t think she means any harm. she’s just oblivious like a toddler lol but if she’s draining you, you can slowly create distance but don’t make it look like you’re obviously creating distance 😂 she sounds a tad bit sensitive so i would do it in a non-obvious, non-personal way.

she's an only child but i doubt she was homeschooled with how much of an extrovert she is.

oh ok. her being an only child kinda makes sense.

she’s never had to share the spotlight with other siblings and is used to getting all the attention from her parents so she expects all eyes to be on her wherever she goes 😅lol

I tried to make myself be friendlier and joke a bit more after a crazy expensive week our team had by saying: "let's not break our hearts by running to the bank yet. a week don't amount to much."

and instead of having a laugh together she says: "oh they gave me a big offer. might be higher than you. maybe you didn't know that?"

she gotta one up you for no reason.

like that time I told one of our colleagues all embarrassed: "I'm late for 5 minutes" *awkward laugh

and the retard that she is instead of any normal response like: "traffic?----crying 5 month old baby kept you all night?----binge watching?" literally anything that could be the equivalent of "Oh you like bread? I like bread too." she the type who'd go: "Me too but mine is gluten-free tho."

but NAH bish chose: "I have never been later ever."

so I did this experiment and decided to go the "I don't think I have enough experience to complete this project. I feel very insecure about how most people around me have so much more history in dealing with this." so I subtly planted seeds of this amongst our colleagues so she stops feeling threatened by me (coz how else can you interpret her one upmanship?) I might as well play the loser.

none of this is true ofc coz truth is none of us have truly done anything like this before. something similar but not exactly. but I was experimenting on how to stop her annoying behavior.

and you know what she did? from playing FRENEMY, she played HERO.

she'd say: "Guys, she's just suffering from post partum, let's try to understand her reservations. We're all on the same boat here, *insert my name.* You'll be fine."

she feels so alienating. if you were normal, she will try to one up you. but if you're a down on your luck, woe is me person then she will defend you, act like a hero. I think at first she thought i either suffered my solitude or was stuck up coz superiority complex. but actually I'm just really shy and I have just enough social skills to not be confined in an asylum. I really just wanted to be left alone.

srsly I feel like the only way anyone gets along with her is either be a lapdog or act like you're never good at anything than her. is that what being alpha is about?

I'm late for work and you gotta compete with me about it FFS.

…i see lol

from the way you described her, she does seem a bit insecure. the quote “they wanna see you do good, but never better than them” popped up in my mind while reading this.

you shouldn’t have to shrink yourself in order to make insecure people feel comfortable. and when someone is insecure, even the smallest thing will trigger them. but guess what, other people’s insecurities are not your problem. these people at some point need to realize that they won’t always be number one.

there’s always gonna be someone better at something than we are, there’s always gonna be someone smarter than us etc. and the sooner we humble ourselves and accept that, the better.

“true confidence isn't thinking you're better than anyone else, it’s realizing that you have no reason to compare yourself to anyone else.”

this girl needs you to be beneath her so she can feel good about herself. that’s not a true friend unfortunately.

from my past observations, there seem to be two major types

the first type is like the girl that’s being talked about in this thread lol 😅

the second type is the calm, unruffled, unbothered, independent, highly self-reliant kid that’s kinda just chilling in his/her own world lol

you could be the latter one lol

so I did this experiment and decided to go the "I don't think I have enough experience to complete this project. I feel very insecure about how most people around me have so much more history in dealing with this." so I subtly planted seeds of this amongst our colleagues so she stops feeling threatened by me (coz how else can you interpret her one upmanship?) I might as well play the loser.
none of this is true ofc coz truth is none of us have truly done anything like this before. something similar but not exactly. but I was experimenting on how to stop her annoying behavior.
and you know what she did? from playing FRENEMY, she played HERO.
she'd say: "Guys, she's just suffering from post partum, let's try to understand her reservations. We're all on the same boat here, *insert my name.* You'll be fine."
she feels so alienating. if you were normal, she will try to one up you. but if you're a down on your luck, woe is me person then she will defend you, act like a hero. I think at first she thought i either suffered my solitude or was stuck up coz superiority complex. but actually I'm just really shy and I have just enough social skills to not be confined in an asylum. I really just wanted to be left alone.
srsly I feel like the only way anyone gets along with her is either be a lapdog or act like you're never good at anything than her. is that what being alpha is about?
I'm late for work and you gotta compete with me about it FFS.

Yeah, she's really bad at awareness. Even reading her responses is slightly getting on my nerves. I'd ask her "why each and every time, you gotta make yourself appear better than everyone else?" I think she's due for a wake up call.

Ahhh ! Such an Aries thing to say ! "I Think she's due for a wake up call." 😄

I Love saying this one to other people hehe xD

lol was she homeschooled by any chance?
maybe she never really learned how to properly socialize with others and how to “read the room”. maybe she has a hard time reading people’s body language and moods.

she probably grew up in a house where people perhaps accommodated her so she never really learned to read people’s facial expressions and moods (for example, when you grow up in a house where your parents are like a ticking time bomb, the kids will naturally learn to “read the room” or read their parents’ moods etc and they will continue to use this skill when they become adults out in society) it doesn’t seem like she has that skill? but that also means she was probably loved by her parents so it’s not a bad thing lol
anyway yeah i still don’t think she means any harm. she’s just oblivious like a toddler lol but if she’s draining you, you can slowly create distance but don’t make it look like you’re obviously creating distance 😂 she sounds a tad bit sensitive so i would do it in a non-obvious, non-personal way.

she's an only child but i doubt she was homeschooled with how much of an extrovert she is.

oh ok. her being an only child kinda makes sense.
she’s never had to share the spotlight with other siblings and is used to getting all the attention from her parents so she expects all eyes to be on her wherever she goes 😅lol
not all only childs are like this but some can be.

I tried to make myself be friendlier and joke a bit more after a crazy expensive week our team had by saying: "let's not break our hearts by running to the bank yet. a week don't amount to much."
and instead of having a laugh together she says: "oh they gave me a big offer. might be higher than you. maybe you didn't know that?"
she gotta one up you for no reason.
like that time I told one of our colleagues all embarrassed: "I'm late for 5 minutes" *awkward laugh

This is very Aries behaviour and she likely felt like she wanted to bond with you but wasn’t getting the right social cues from you to feel heard or something.

Pacing and then leaving, is likely because she felt left out but wanted to talk to you and signaled to you that she was outtie.

Simple. I think you’re more concerned with her being an Aries and then finding fault. So I don’t think you’d blend well with an Aries, especially if they’re more social and trying to find a way to bond and you’re naturally standoffish from the jump.

I agree with you on the feeling left out. But I think this Ram is misreading by a big mile here. Especially this one:

I mean, everybody had a rough week and she says how she had a good week? I know she's just trying to talk here but the "rough week" part completely went out the window.

basically what I meant was we were all expecting money in our banks (worth 1 week) so I joked that let's not hurt ourselves by getting too excited coz it's not gonna be much coz it's only accounting for a week, not yet a full month.

which everyone can agree on except her coz she prob took offense at 'break our hearts/hurt ourselves' and instantly countered me with how she prob was offered a bigger amount than me (by that meaning the rest of us coz far as we all knew we were all promised the same amount).

so she just HAD to let me know that she could never get hurt coz hers is BIGGER.

like if this chick were a dude, he'd prob brag about how huge his penis is than any other man on earth.

If someone asks, or eludes to pay I always disclose my pay but that’s only because I’ve worked with people who were extremely undervalued and I was being paid a vast amount more. They can’t do shit if you disclose either…

I’d want to know. I feel like Aries are just full frontal all disclosure and very little hold back.
