i know i will be..i'm like that with my dogs and younger sisters...but i'm a cusp of taurus ..soo that might explain it..lol the only thing i can think of is she's very nervous so it makes her over protective with you. Just be honest with her and tell her you need to breath bc thats driving you insane. you need FREEDOM...she should very well understand that word. lol

I think it's also she knows what she was like as a kid. We get into EVERYTHING and it's really hard to keep up with us. So she prolly is associating her child hood and how she was.. with how you 'might' be. We also over analyze and think everything.. so she most likely worries excessively. I don't have kids.. so these are just my thoughts.

I am a gem on cusp of cancer and I used to mother my little sister around like crazy- it was like I thought I knew better- she's a leo, so every time I told her not to do something, she would give me the most defiant look ever and head right for the "danger". I think we are just very attatched to our loved ones, which does not make being overprotective right, but it's our strange way of showing that love. She finally sat me down one day and told me that as much as she appreciated me looking out for her, it was driving her crazy and we made a deal that she would point out to me when I was doing it- which worked and I learned to back off. I only see her every now and then and still have to hold back the urge to pull her from the edge of the cliff, but I understand that she needs to do things on her own. We gems are quite dense sometimes and it really takes an honest conversation to make things clear. I wish you the best of luck and rest assured that your gem mom loves you very much πŸ™‚

"baby-grl....has any significant other been able to help you not over analyze, and how, or is it like asking a cancer not to feel?"

We over analyze... period.. nothing anyone can say or do changes this. It's not about insecurities.. it's who and what we are. We can tone it down.. and make a conscious effort to not do it.. but we are still going to, to some degree. Once this is accepted by the Gem, it's easier for them to deal with. This is extremely hard because you find yourself analyzing things you don't want to. Why can't i just go with itβ€”? that is a common question. well.. we just can't..lol I think its kinda a gift.. we have the ability to see all angles of issues and concerns.. and we think about them we don't always take the best route or easiest route because we are so curious.. but this is what we do..

personally i don't mind my mother being over protective...i know she cares about me alot, and wants to make sure i'm alright..even if it is annoing..Shes my mother, she gave me life, she treated me wonderful ..so who cares if her being over protective is a little annoing. I'd rather have that anyday then a mother who didn't give a shyt about me.
