Everyone is different, BUT there are some signs who care more about what people think than others.

For instance, I think it REALLY REALLY bothers people that Aquas don't ever seem to give a hot damn what others think of them. The show will go on whether you're with us or not!

But then you've got Libras. They can't seem to function unless the majority of people they know are on good terms with them. They can't function in any hostile environments; they'll crumble. They're always working in over time to make sure they don't have any enemies or people upset with them. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I think it's interesting how different certain signs can be some areas.

Virgos don't seem to give a crap what anybody thinks either. Or atleast they don't show it or act like it.

Cancers & Pisces however, do care tremendously about other's opinions of them. They may even agree to OR "try" to change who they are all just to please others (especially temporarily).

Aries doesn't really care what others think of them either. In fact, Aries is a 1-man show anyways; they actually feel more powerful when others are against them; they don't care about popularity; they do what they've gotta do whether you like them or not. They won't cry or hesistate to move on even if everyone disagrees with them or doesn't stand by them.

Capricorns are a bit iffy. They care about what their elders & authority think, but they won't hesistate to see another person's opinion as "inferior" or "irrelevant" if the opinion is coming from someone they don't need (especially if there's no gain). They'll slave like hell to make sure their bosses are happy/pleased but in relationships and friendships, the don't flinch!

Taurus is iffy too. On 1 hand, they can be so stubborn & in the heat of the moment, act or pretend like other's opinion(s) don't matter just to save face, BUT after awhile it starts to bother them if the ones they like (even if just a little bit) are against them. My father is a Taurus. He couldn't stay mad at me for long nor could he really swallow the thought of others being upset with him for long. At 1st, they'll act like someone's opposing opinion of them doesn't matter but with time, it'll eventually start eating them up inside. Their pride is very convincing though! Some Taurus' will really have you thinking that they don't need you or care, but hey, atleast they always come back & try to make ammends or smooth things over, unlike Aqua who will firmly stand in their position if it means standing up for what they believe in.

Leos have enough pride to convince others that they don't care about anyone's opinion, but deep down it wounds them whenever someone doesn't like them or has something negative to say about them. They won't go out of their way to proove themselves to others (especially if they're in the right) BUT they do care.

Saggs don't really give a hot damn about what others think either. Matter of fact, I've seen many Saggs SMIRK when they cause an uproar of any kind! They're the types that say, "Hey, the more haters I've got, the more it lets me know that I'm doing something RIGHT!" I think Saggs like the aspect of getting a rise out of others, especially if they can maintain their own ability to appear unphased!

Scorpio...Unless it's someone you truly & deeply care for, you don't give a flip about other's opinions of you. In fact, I think you're like Sagg in a way that you actually might get a rise out of causing an uproar. I think it amuses you (vs. killing you) to see others get so upset and/or so overly dramatic b/c of something you've said/done.

I think ALL signs care to an extent what others think of them, BUT some signs care a little bit more about what even strangers or irrelevant people think of them, while others don't care unless you actually mean something to them or if they can actually gain something from you (like a paycheck!)

Thinking about the Saggs in my life- good friends, my dad, and my sister. They will say ANYTHING that needs to be said to ANYONE and never shrink from saying it. They speak their mind and don't care what anyone thinks about it. Pretty amazing to watch two of them do this to each other!

Agreed on Aries. My Aries mom is a nice woman, but doesn't give a DAMN what anyone thinks...ever! She's prepared for battle!

OMG!! It feels SOOOooo Good that you feel that way!! Let's be best buddies..pretty pretty please?!!


I have a somewhat close aquarius male friend...and it's funny to me because he talks about how he doesn't seem to care about people all the time. Like that is a dilemma he is constantly worried about. And I'm just sitting there listening ot myself, finding it so hilarious how a person that is a self-acclaimed sociopath, is very worried at the fact that he could very well be a sociopath.

Don't really know you well enough to make the same judgement..but

a Sociopath that is bothered at the fact that he/she's a sociopath...isn't a sociopath.

Ok so wait, anybody who doesn't let other's define them, doesn't care about what irrelevant people think & anybody who'se confident enough to only mind those who actually matter are considered "sociopaths?" Hmm...interesting. Doesn't make much sense.

I absolutely DO care what relevant people have to say. But if some guy/gal I don't know randomly has a problem with me, I hardly call that sociopathic all b/c I don't break down crying & trying to get others to like me. Aquas are 1 of those signs that don't necessarily need approval from others. I don't know or understand how people think that's always a bad thing, especially considering most people who care TOO much about other's opinions are always somewhere wishing they didn't!

on the other hand, I don't really care if they think I'm immature, or unsociable, or stupid, or whatever else they want to think lol.. and I don't really bother to try to prove them wrong either, because if I know it's not true then that's all that really matters.



Exactly. That's my position on things. If I know who I am & if I know the truth, I won't spend all my time trying to force or convince others of something they're obviously ignorant of. Instead of entertaining the 500 people that may not like me, may not believe me or may have a problem with me, I instead spend my precious time with the 1,000 people that actually DO know me well, do know the truth & actually matter.

Hey, if someone says something negative about me & is actually right, we can have a conversation/sit down & talk about things. BUT, I refuse to kiss anyone's ass, especially since most people are going to have their minds made up about certain people anyways.

Would I care about my boyfriend's mother's opinion of me? Well sure, BUT even then I won't kiss her ass all just to get her to like me. Do I care? YES. But will I go out of my way to make it my job to make sure that I'm on everybody's "Christmas list?" NO. However, would it bother me that some girl I've never met in my English class thinks I'm ugly? Hell no! What, am I supposed to spend my life trying to impress someone like that?! Ha!

With some people, they can see all the facts, see all your good deeds and yet STILL NOT like you or have anything to say about you. So you'd just be wasting your time & life if you spend it all worrying about the opinions of those who probably don't even know your middle or last name!

This kind of stuff reminds me of highschool...when 5-10 years later we ALL realized that half the people we were afraid of, intimidated by and/or wanted to be like, didn't even end up mattering years later. We spend most of our school years trying to fit in, trying to be popular/liked & the very people whom we probably won't ever see again or even remember in 10 years. When you get older, you remember that when you're in the moment

Fyi sociopathy isn't defined by not caring what others think. In fact sociopaths are usually a slave to the perceptions of others as it requires constant effort to maintain a desired persona. Sociopaths are defined more by mental and emotional manipulation to gain/maintain power and see other people as tools less gifted than themselves. Usually passive aggressive with a carefully polished persona.

Not caring what people think is an overly worshiped trait I think. Its probably the case because we are constantly aware of the stress that comes with caring and worrying about the perceptions others have regarding us whether it be our personality or our performance but it fuels growth and self improvement and perfection. I think what peop
E really want when they idolize not caring what others think is to be able to direct more energy in properly expressing themselves for their own satisfaction.

I care deeply for what my fiance, kids and a select few friends think but other than that my worry is that I express myself as well as possible so regardless of what others think they have genuine information and experience for the judgement they have. In otherwords as long as its for "who I really am"

Well this post was literally about those who care what others think, so if sociopathy is not related to that, I don't understand why it was brought up in the 1st place.

I've seen a few people that try a little TOO hard to act like other's opinions don't phase them, & of course these types of people are usually just putting up a front and/or generally care the MOST about what others think of them lol. Maybe saying they don't is just their defense mechanism; who knows.

I don't get any personal satisfaction/ego boost out of not caring what others think. I literally don't. If you don't matter to me, what you say won't matter. Literally. I agree however, that I do want people to have their facts straight before making an informed decision/opinion about me, BUT hey let's face it, that's not reality. Most people won't ever know the whole story, all the facts or the real deal. Some people will think what they want to think regardless of the facts you put in your face. Plus, everyone perceives things different. What I might do/say to 1 person might make me appear to be confident. But to another person who perceives certain actions/words differently, they might believe that I'm cocky, arrogant or conceited.

It's just the luck of the draw. And if I had to pick, I'd rather listen to those who perceived my actions/words to be those of confidence b/c they know me & understand my intent VS. those who could care less about my intent and/or choose to label me in a bad way b/c that's how they do business.

Those whom I love & care about know my intentions, they know my heart and they normally know most, if not all of the "Whole story" so yes ONLY their opinion(s) matter to me.

But if someone is giving me a bad name or labeling me in a negative way for no valid reason, I absolutely WON'T break down, beg them to like me, or seek their approval.

I literally believe in the saying, "Those who matter won't mind & those who mind won't matter."

If someone I truly care about and/or respect is upset with me or has a false negative view of me, it will affect me & I'll try to make ammends or try to help them get a better understanding of me.

I wasn't saying that I don't care about what anyone thinks. It's moreso that I don't care about what MOST people think & that's b/c most people in this world actually DON'T know me. A stranger that doesn't know me (like on DXP for example) can't possibly make an accurate concensus of me b/c they know nothing about me other than perhaps my writing style or a few of my opinions here & there. If I'm going to break down or care too much about what someone thinks, it'll be a person whom I know, who knows me & whose opinion I respect. I have NO shame in admitting that I absolutely DON'T respect everyone on this earth & if I don't respect someone, I can't possibly allow them to affect me to a certain extent

I admit it. I totally seek approval... but only from those that I deeply love and care for. I harbor a strong need to have their respect and to be seen as good in their eyes. Now, that doesn't mean I go out of my way to be what I think they want me to be, but I want their total acceptance of who I am. Now, as for the rest of the world, I could give a rat's ass what they think.

I also have to admit that my pride does feel a slight sting from someone's rejection of me, especially if I know that I've been nothing but nice and/or good to them, but that sting ends just as quickly as it started.

@Size: Well it pertains to both. People that actually know you are NOT the only people who might have something to say or give their 2 cents. Hell, it could be your boyfriend's best friend's opinion or a choir member at the church or your co-worker's opinion. It could be every day people that maybe only half know you OR that are very cool with someone you know very well.

For instance, my ex boyfriend was terrified of what 1 certain friend of mine thought of him. It's not like me & the girl were super close but for some reason, any time she said something that he could've possibly taken wrong, he got all uptight and/or wanted to kiss her azs. But the thing is, he wasn't like that with anyone else. Granted, she was 1 of the only friend I brought around him, but it bothered me that he cared so much about her opinion. He was always asking me, "Do your friends hate me?" & I'd get so annoyed & say NO! And even if they did, this is OUR relationship & their feelings don't run it, OUR feelings do! I respect that he values my friend's opinions & that he knew that their opinions were valuable to me, BUT I wanted him to give me some credit in knowing that I think for myself and/or that I don't even let my friends "in" enough for them to say anything crazy about him in order for him to be paranoid in the 1st place! He was seeking approval so much so that he came off to my friends as being too sneaky or suspect. They couldn't figure out why he was constantly sucking up to them and/or acting like they were God.

Even when I'm around my man's mom, I'm still myself. I don't go around kissing her azs or crumbling to my knees when she gives me a weird look or says anything slightly negative about me. All I can do is show her who I am & hope that she respects & likes it. If she does, great! But if she doesn't, sure it may affect our relationship eventually, but it's not like I'll spend all of our sunday dinners seeking her approval. I just don't believe in that

If anything, I grow very leery of those who appear to be too focused on what others think of them. I think it shows lack of confidence. If someone is constantly asking around wondering what people think of them, it'll bother me & make me wonder why they care THAT much. I'm not saying that caring is a bad thing, but when it gets so extreme that a person acts like they can't function unless 99% of the people on earth like them, it drives me crazy! Idk, I've just learned over time that if you spend the rest of your life worrying about and/or crumbling over what everyone has to say, you'll be very miserable; and eventually you'll start letting others define you or speak for you. I've noticed that the people who tend to care too much about other's opinions tend to be miserable, insecure and/or have identity issues

For instance, I think it REALLY REALLY bothers people that Aquas don't ever seem to give a hot damn what others think of them. The show will go on whether you're with us or not!


You've got to be kidding, the first sign that popped into my head was Aquarius. They tragically follow trends and don't think for themselves, anything to get approval from their friends, they're gagging for it.
click to expand




Actually no, trust me. I'm not a follower in any sense of the word. I set my own trends. I like sticking out b/c I refuse to cater to the demand to be "popular." It doesn't bother me to not fit in b/c I literally feel that my ability to appear/be different is what makes me unique. That's why I get a long with other Aquas so well; they stand out more simply b/c they're different than others. They're not trying to be different; they literally ARE just different. Seems that people have a hard time believing that there actually ARE some people in this world that don't harp on trends or what others have to say. Yes, honey it's true. There actually are some people who could care less about following the crowd.

Maybe you missed the memo! We think for ourselves 100% of the way; that's why so many people get aggitated with us. They can't stand that we stand so firm in our OWN beliefs, hence that's why Aquas always get labled as "stubborn, self-taught & fixed." We're a fixed sign b/c we toot our own horns. We don't allow others to come in, blow us away & think/speak for us. If you don't agree with us Aquas, we won't care. We'll STILL stand by what we believe in, NOT passively-aggressively start conforming to social views.

A part of the reason so many people can't stand Aquas to begin with is b/c we're 1 of the only few creatures that dare to be different. People are always trying to figure out how we "tick" b/c our ways are not popular and/or the same as others. We live in our own worlds & only entertain those who are willing to get on the boat with us. And hey, it's literally simply. Others can either get on the boat or they can get left. Maybe you haven't seen all the threads where people are constantly crying b/c their Aquas flew the coop w/o any hesistation or backlash. It's b/c when we don't care, we literally don't. We're not trying to pretend like we don't care. Som

It's not even so much that Aquarius doesn't care how they get perceived (they do although not a great deal), yet they are stubborn and impossible to sway whenever they're set on doing something. Not even if there are significant reasons why they shouldn't.
.



We don't have any shame in admitting that we absolutely don't trust or respect everyone else's opinion or judgment. Sure, sometimes this can bite us in the ass or be our biggest weakness (just like it's 1 of our biggest strengths). I must admit though, we are very stubborn & hard to change. I guess we earned our title as a "fixed" sign =)

I swear it's like people are waiting on Aquarians to deny everything just so they can go back & pick a part every little thing we say. I never said that Aquarians never sought approval. We DO, but not as much as 1. Others do & 2. not as much as others think we do. THAT is what I said. I absolutely have no problem admitting that I absolutely DO care about what SOME people think. The keyword though was "SOME" people. And even then, there's a fine line b/c to a certain extent, IwillNEVER kiss anyone's ass. I might care how they feel, BUT if they refuse to step outside of their own thinking, I won't break b/c of that. If that's a bad or "sociopathic" thing, sue me! =P

Not true. Adapting definitely comes naturally to a Pisces, but to consciously use that to gain someones approval would say more about ones own personal issues than anything having to do with their Piscean nature. We may care what others think insofar as we don't want to be perceived as crazy or psychotic, but would Pisces really pull disappearing acts or retreat into our own world as often as we do if we were that concerned about anyones approval? Even the self-destructive behaviors that Pisces are known to get into would say otherwise.

Now Aquarians on the other hand... for people who don't give a f**k anyone else thinks you sure put in a lot of effort to let everyone know that :p

wow, this shit about libras caring what people think is turning me off from astrology. We are not the "bitches" of the zodiac and in reality we couldnt give a shit what people think, we are far more defensive than people think and far more protective of our egos at eas i am b/c i would never let someone walk on me fuck what they think and how they feel


but on an astrological plane, aquarius from what i know base their identity off of groups. they try to be more than they really are in front of a group of people. Its almost like grups are used to boost their egos. Ive seen aquschange up completely when in a crowd, they become totattly different. But one on one they are someone new, yu wont see that same person do that same shit



but thats me im so annoyed with astrology now and the surface shit i read about us bing people pleasers. Even this site is getting annoying with libra generalizations it has on here about libras cuz that shit is just annoying as hell

Trust me, Aquarius are tired of being just as "misunderstood" as Libras are.

My experiences with Libras are different than yours. I'm not 1 to believe that all of 1 group are the same, but my experiences with certain groups, like Libras for example, have all been similar in certain areas. Hell, it doesn't help your case either when nearly all the Libras I've known have admitted the very thing I said about them on this thread. Smh smh

Yep, Aquas are different. But where people get us wrong is when they falsly assume that we're purposely trying to be different all for the sole purpose of getting an ego boost. Libras are different from other signs too, but you don't hear anyone saying that their unique differences are "rehearsed." It's simple, some people are just different. Doesn't mean they're trying to be. They literally are. And most of the time, OTHERS are the ones who give us the "different" label, not we ourselves. People can't handle it when they see someone who is perfectly OK with NOT being so attached to the crowd or the popular. Since THEY prefer to live in someone else's world other than their own, it's not surprising that they always knock those who actually DO/CAN dance to the beat of their own drum

@Beloved...Well honey, my last post wasn't towards you. You took it to mean that way. If I'm directing something towards you, I'll quote the person that "offended me" during my response. And I didn't do that. You're not the only 1 who feels a certain way about Aquas when it comes to certain things; I was addressing all people who feel a certain way that I feel is false. We don't all have to agree. My perception on things is different than some others.

I find it very ironic and interesting that Krys makes slews of threads that are in place to put judgement of character on each sign ...

which sign is more apt to do this (blank) .. it's countless how many threads have been made like this by Krys, each one passing judgement on the traits of all the signs.

Hopefully people remember that one thread where she Aquas bad was ommitted and then she cried a river when people noticed and put her back against the wall for it.


and now here .. the moment someone says something about Aquarius .. she suddenly becomes defensive and totally lacks the objectivity that she claims is her premise.



You know Kris ... it was only a matter of time

Dude, you're going off the deep end. I NEVER once said that all Libras are the same in any area. I'm very well aware that all Libras & people period are different. But as with anything, I write about things that I see through MY eyes, not yours or anyone elses. If you don't agree or haven't experienced the same behavior in yourself or in fellow Librans, that's fine. But you can't get mad when others have a different testimony of how Libras arae. There are plenty of libras who ARE followers just like there are those who aren't. I can't change nor will I downplay the fact that most of the Libras I know ARE this way. If your experiences with them have been different, good for you but you can't get upset just b/c someone else had a different experience. Don't take it personal & assume that I'm trying to label YOU personally as being that type of Libra, b/c I'm not. But my experiences with them won't change just b/c some random guy who calls himself "Pride of October" has had different experiences. I'm talking about my experiences, not categorizing them in any way. There's a difference. Sheeeeesh

You are taking this way too seriously and being mad defensive.

I have nothing against Aquarians at all. =)



That's your perception, dear. If only you knew, I've smiled and been in great spirits while writing this post & responding to all replies. I defended my sign in ways that I felt I could have just like you defended your stance. We're both doing the same thing honey.

I never once accused you of having anything towards Aquarians. And enough of you & others saying that I am in denial about the flaws in other Aquas. I have posted plenty of threads on the Aqua board about Aqua flaws & what we need to work on. I feel that "Seeking approval" however is NOT 1 of the things Aquas generally have issues with; that is just 1 area; so don't assume that just b/c I don't think Aquas are lacking in 1 area, that it means I'm implying that we don't lack in ANY areas. There's a difference. I'm sticking to the subject---signs that seek approval--And I don't feel that Aquas seek approval. Sure, we might need work/help on other things in other areas, but that's not what this topic is about. Aquarian flaws in other areas is a whole 'nother different topic/conversation

typical aqaurius, they say dumb shit and expect everyone to be okay with it. yu think that just b/c im seperating myself from your view on libras that im gon off the deep end. Ik not, yu are you are the on that started this thread about who cares about what others think, you gave detailed descripitions not me so you seem a little off the deep end. all of your threads seem a little extreme to me. I know what you write is thru your eyes and what you have expereinced, but im telling you what i know and thru my eyes, my perception and that seems to be aqaurius's problems, they cant see any opinon that decifers their, no even for one minute. they think that people are going crazy for disagreeing with them and the only logical thing to do is agree with

its not about libras being differet we dont care about that, we are concerned with being ourselves. II dont no where u are going with your reply but what im saying is that on here people ake libras out to be pussies, and we arent i know im not
I dont care what people say but i am quick to take offense to what i feel an insult is, if i feel attacked im gonna attack back, i dont let shit roll off my back. I dont car about being different, i care about being an indivdual
fucc it im not retyping all that butter so fucc it

i dont know what kind of libras u met, but they must be fucced up b/c im not a follower not d i care abou society and their standards im me and ive always been that way ince birth



lol lol it's funny how when I as an Aqua defend my own sign against misconceptions, there's an issue but yet you just did the same thing with Libras & you expect pure understanding. In your last response, you said "typical Aquarians" as if you had labeled us all b/c of experiences you've been through by yourself. If you don't want any flack about putting us all in 1 category, be able to handle it when someone does the same to Libras. I'mJustSayin'

And hun, I accused you of going off the deep end b/c of how you respond to everything; it had nothing to do w/ whether or not you agreed with me. You're cussing & calling everything "bull" & "butter" when all of that extra crap isn't even necessary. Those are all signs that someone is getting overly defensive and/or going on "the attack" as you've said so yourself. So YES, I'd actually advise you to calm down. It's not that serious.

"typical aqaurius, they say dumb butter and expect everyone to be okay with it"

You just further proved my case. The way YOU perceive things is different, that's why you feel it's ok to categorize all Aquarians in certain areas. And when you do this, you feel no shame in it b/c according to you, you're basing your opinion on what YOU'VE experienced with them. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. BUT when I start doing the same to Libras or any other sign, it's not that I expect for them to agree, BUT I expect for them to understand TOO that what I see/experience with & perceive of them them may be different than your experiences. In other words, quit with the double standards. You hate it when people clump all Libras together yet you do so with other signs.

I could care less whether or not people are ok with what I have to say! I think that's kind of blately obvious. So many people are annoyed that they can't change my mind on certain things, but yet those very people have made it clear that no matter WHO comes along with a different perspective, that their minds ARE NOT changing either. The pot can't call the kettle black!

Point blank, I generally feel that Aquarians don't seek approval for their own ego boosting. Other signs may think differently & hey that's ok, BUT in my experiences with Aquarians AND even some other signs (as I've stuck up for them too) I don't feel that in THIS area (seeking approval) Aquarians are flawed. None of you can say that I think Aquas are perfect b/c I've stated MANY times that I def. DO think we're flawed just like every other human being. But in THIS area (the only area I'm posting about) I don't feel that Aquas seek approval. If you don't agree, fine. But don't get mad that my perception that's based on my experiences (that I can't change) don't change.

I can't make you believe that Libras are pushovers if you deep down in your heart don't think so. And just b/c you stand firm by your opinion on that doesn't mean that you're a person who is in denial. Just b/c I've seen 100 Libras that absolutely ARE push overs doesn't mean that your experiences with them NOT being that way will change. So give me that same respect when I'm talking about my own sign. After all, the original sign can tell outsiders better than anyone how they REALLY think/tick & how they work.

i think because we dont care about what people think and we live in our worlds and dont bother with others we get attacked for it. i could care less what other people think of me. the only people that matter are my family, friends, fiance and God. yes i am throwing a little religion in there. if that is to hard for people to accept then oh well. aquas could care less call us sociopaths, cold, aloof or any other names you want to call us. we dont care.

and people think when they point out our flaws that is suppose to affect us. unlike most signs, our biggest research project is ourselves. we care about what we think, why do we do this, why do we feel that...so yea we basically know our flaws. we took the time to point them out. so when some one tries to tell us about ourselves it doesnt matter because we already know it. if you point out our flaws then expect us to not give you the reason why, then you are trying to hurt or ridicule us with our flaws and you fail. call it 'trying to defend ourselves' or "being sensitive" if you want. but what is your ulterior motive behind pointing out something about an aqua, when you are being asked about yourself. who is being defensive??


now as for the libras wanting to please everyone i dont see it in my fiance....i can only speak for mine. i dont know if its his scorpio moon but he couldnt care less about what people think besides those closest to him. he always tries to be a man of his word, respect others and make sure he treats everyone fairly. ..i admire his integrity.

the other libra i dated was an asshole, he was rude, cared about what everyone was thinking of him, and he was a man whore. i only dated him for 2 weeks.... he was always asking me, "are they looking at me? are they looking over here??" I used to just mess with him and say, " No they are looking at me, they arent looking at you." it was sickening.

but everyone is different.

I agree that everyone cares to an extent.

With Aquas, they don't seem to care, but sometimes an Aqua's behavior can be manipulated. I think Aqua's are sensitive to reactions, like everyone else, and if you react negatively to them or something they've done, that reaction can push them to continue to do it, as if to show the other person just how much they don't care.

I think all signs seek approval, it's just the people they seek it from that varies.

With me, more than anything, if I'm given a job I try to do my best. I can relate to Sade in saying "If I've done my best, I can care less what someone thinks...I just care when I've been caught slipping." As far as slaving at work, maybe so....UNTIL it's time to go. Screw the boss and everyone else that thinks I'm going to stay a second after work. True colors start to show then.
