Because people in general are stupid assholes who want their egos stroked.

They're not too bright, live in an alternate reality, and instead of wanting factual information, they whine and complain when you don't coddle their distorted world view.

It's so rampant here on DXP with all the sob stories.

Ah, what happens when we raise a society based on attention whoredom...

She sounds unevolved; most Aries who are secure don't get so defensive. Even though we've been given that rep.
This isn't unevolved behavior, it's a basic human thing. She made something that she's proud of and likes and someone comes along and goes "well this is how you can make it better!" Of course anyone would be offended.

Again, she's likely reacting out of defense and getting pissy, but getting over it just as quickly. She's taking what he's saying to mind. Just because an Aries is pissed off doesn't mean we aren't listening or not comprehending.

When all is said, and done, and calm, we're contemplating the things said.

This is true. Thinking of the situation now, I can't say I wouldn't be offended. One has to consider the pride she could have in what she made. I have noticed that Aries can be demed 'pissy' or 'bitchy' if we don't like how someone approaches us, however the door swings both ways. We get a lot of flack for our impulsive reactions, but people forget how soon we'll let go of the issue; once I'm done being irritated, it really doesn't matter anymore. The irritation fades, and then I'll contemplate what was said.

It's because most people's actions don't match up with their words. Some people say one thing and then do another. That sends mixed signals. I feel like you can make your mouth say anything. But SHOW me that what you're telling me is real. For example you can't tell someone that you "hate" them but SHOW them how much you love them.


I know a situation where a guy was telling his friends that he did not like someone, but when he got around her or her friends he acted as if he was into her. So, she felt as if he really liked her, so did her friends, but you had everyone around her, telling her that he hated her. So, who should she believe? Should she go by the way that he treats her or go by what he tells his close friends and anyone that ask him about her?

I think you love them. That's why. You just don't want to admit it.

i dont understand the confusion/hate on arians. they are like the best! they are my family and the truest best friends ever. maybe if people actually tried accepting them instead of faulting them or lumping them all together just because they met some bad ones, they would be able to see just how laid back and AWESOME aries are. i havent had any issues with them. and they keep me laughing.

off to hookah with an aries best friend. anyway, just came to give love to the aries born. never change, beautiful people.

Not gonna lie but I love those kind of criticisms (where it shows me how to improve).
Same here. It's like OMG LOOK WHAT I DID. WHAT DO YOU THINK??

And sure, sometimes if someone were to criticize and knock it down a few pegs, of course I'd get offended initially. But then I get over it and take the criticism to improve haha.

Though I gotta say, he hasn't said what she does as a reaction, so how she reacts could definitely fall under the "unevolved" category, depending on what she does.

Example:

She was talking about how she used shortening in her cookies (abhorrent!). I casually mentioned I found butter made a better cookie.

Next thing she's raging on about how "everyone raves about her cookies made with shortening" and really seemed offended. Then like 5 minutes later was totally back to normal.

And FWIW....she made a batch with butter last week and was going on about how good they were. I also actually heard her get compliments on them (which I never hear). I did not say anything even though I wanted to be all "told you so".
Dude, you negged her. No wonder she got annoyed. That was a dick statement that had a bit of a veiled insult. You probably could have worded it something like you PREFER to use butter when you bake cookies because of x,y,z reasons. Or, "Really? Never thought to use shortening. Butter is my go to when I make cookies."

But her baking another batch with butter? See? She was listening and took heed.

...however, I do agree. SHORTENING? What the hell? gag

You're being hard on yourself....of course because it's a very trying time when you expect to feel so much but just feel numb. Grasping at seemingly fleeting emotions because you want to feel but they seem to just slip away. Like a waterfall. Give yourself a chance to sit with how you feel, with all of the emotions all around you and running through you. Dont rush it....everything will come to you naturally.

I even welcome trying times in my life because although I know I'm in for some heaviness, I also know through experience that when all is said and done I will be anew.

Try to take it easy my friend and day by day.
That's the thing - I don't think I'm feeling numb. I'm just not feeling anything at all.completely detached as if I'm on the outside looking in.

That is actually the normal reaction for you. For others it's being histrionic.

That feeling of "something must be wrong with the way I process emotion" is a society expectation. If you don't cry and throw yourself on the ground, obviously you aren't feeling it. I've noticed this kind of bashing a lot in my life, because people need to feel they reacted correctly and others didn't.

Every major bad event in my life, I was cold as ice and incredibly rational. It's daily small shit that riles me up. Bigger issues I can tackle with no problem. My dad broke down emotionally during the divorce, I was on cloud nine that the insanity was coming to an end. It worried him that I was so casual about it, told me years afterwards that he monitored me closely without me knowing because he worried over me finding an outlet in drugs or promiscuous behavior.

Then there is my mother's side of the family who assume to this day I am a complete sociopath. When my grandfather died I was the only one not crying and making a scene. Meanwhile, the people who were crying and being hysterical..no pain at all for them. All of them were anxious and excited over the inheritance. Bunch of hypocrites.

When something hits me deeply, I can't even utter a word or shed a tear.
