usually when i get mad i tend to put that person on spot. i am very rude and cold-hearted when it comes to that. i point out all their flaws,and remember everything they did or said. & i tend to hurt a lot of people's feelings when it comes to it. i really don't mean to,it's just i say things on spot without thinking,because chances are i already thought of what i was going to say so i guess that's why it's come out so hurtful. when really i am only trying to help and show them what they need to work on. i guess that's the virgo rising in me—?

I think it must be the virgo rising!

I don't do it. Someone did it once to me and after I experienced it I decided that it is better to remove myself or say if there is something wrong calmly than make an argument.

Reading Congitive Behaviour Therapy made me stop being angry but just a bit annoyed with things.

It is really good 😉

i try not argue. infact i HATE arguing. and i like to calmly talk. but it's when i'm pissed i spazz out. which needs some working on. there is a lot that needs to be worked on with me. *hint: needs my virgo to help me* lol. and i will see to find a good book to help me. ^^ thank you dearest.

Ehhh i can relate more so in younger years though....As i've grown up i tried to tone that down a bit or better myself...I really believe it's due to the fact that we are pretty sensitive as women in certain areas so when we feel attacked we lash out in that way......Or maybe I'm wrong..lol

I'm like that sometimes. I have a very sharp tongue with words and vocabulary at my disposal and a very good memory so I use it sparingly, only when I am backed into a corner. Even then, I give fair warning and ask them if they really want to go there. Also, I can get brutally honest so be prepared to hear the truth.

I think it's the Gemini in me that tempers that -- the diplomatic side, couple that with being born in the Year of the Rabbit (Chinese Zodiac) -- that wants to explore all conciliatory means before hurting someone with my sharp tongue. And I know it does hurt. People remember what I've said long after I've forgotten saying it.

I've looked at my chart twice over and I don't know why I have Virgo traits when I don't have any Virgo in my chart at all. My moon is Taurus, my Mars in Aries, my rising is Leo. And the rest of the planets, house cusps, etc -- no VIRGO.

So I'm wondering as well where this is coming from. Any ideas?

Well I can relate to Krystle. When im feeling cornered or something along those lines I can "freak out" and lash out and the person making me feel that way. I get frustrated and just blurt out whatever I am thinking. Bad idea because most times I have to censor what im going to say from what I am thinking lol.

I dont lash out often but when I do, haha I wouldnt want to be in your shoes!!. I can say some pretty mean things. Now i've learnt that when I feel like im about to lash out at someone and say something i'll probably regret i'll keep my cool, keep calm tell myself to relax breathe in and out and then i'll slowly get over the situation with no regrets of saying something that would really hurt someone else.

A lot of the times when I have lashed out people who have witnessed it just stare at me with their mouths open like they couldnt believe what I had just said/done because it seems so "out of character" for me. Oh well.

I dont have any virgo in my chart either.

my my how i can relate to you. & it is odd as well since you don't have any virgo in you. & i know when i say stuff a lot of people couldnt believe it came from me because half the time i am quiet and happy. but when i get mad,the evil comes out of me. but i do it to those who deserve it. if i tend to do it to the nice ones i apologize i could of said it more calmly and nicely. but when if i tend to spazz out. i will just walk it off,breathe,more likely i will write it down. that tends to help a lot. and it does work for me if i do write it down. thus that is how i control it now.
