Taking my own advice...

Why Aries Struggle to Follow Their Own Advice

Aries individuals often give great advice but find it difficult to apply it to their own lives due to emotional biases and impulsiveness. Recognizing this pattern can help you develop self-awareness and practice self-compassion, making it easier to act on the guidance you offer others.

I have a lot of friends who confide in me to ask me for help with their relationships, which is lovely, however although I am good at giving sound, rational and calming advice to my friends about whatever guy or girl is doing their nut in at any particular time, I just can't seem to take my own advice and sort my own mess out! If I was listening to someone else relaying "my story" I'd be giving them a slap.. so what gives??
Have any other Aries suffered with this??

Aries cannot relate to someone else's perspective. The only thing they can relate with is how they experience and feel life.

Everything else and anyone else doesn't exist in their universe, unless the Aries is interested in that person/that thing..in which case it comes alive.

Extreme subjectivity..and you folks cannot apply it with yourself. Rather than giving yourself advice, you're better off trying ALL the scenarios your mind comes up with and seeing how you feel about each one of them => this will make you pick the right choice in the end.

Keeping it purely intelectual with Aries does NOT work.

Oh I don't know Damnata, I find that I can be quite objective about my situation, and the related "solutions." I just never like those solutions, so I do something entirely different. Makes perfect sense to me....

i give such good advise. my friends come from near and far to hear my wisdom..lol... jk.. but really, i am always the voice of reason, why the boyfriend is a dog and should be left. blah blah, then occasionally, i tell my friends, go for it, be in love and love and dont let anything get in your way. i generally do or say that becasue that is usually waht i do... even with the assholes that should be left!! so, logiacally, i dont heed my own advise, i am not casusious. i get my heart hurt and broke in to a million pieces. but, why is it that i am such a know it all, and i try so hard to help my friends from being shit on, but cant for myself. Well i am getting older and have a lot harder time putting my self out there. wiser, yes, stronger, no..

My problem is that I still have that hope, and still put myself out there continuously even when really everything points to the fact that I shouldn't but I'm perfectly objective when I read into situations with my friends relationships...but for me it's a frigging Leo who is getting under my skin; uugghhh!!! 😢
