Why Can't You Gems Admit Being Wrong?!?!

And if you can, TELL ME WHAT IT TAKES!!!

No! Never!

*rises eye-brow*...........but where is the fun in that.😉
lol

My Jupiter is in Gemini....teehee 😉 Well, I wanted to feel special on the Gemini board....awww, man....😢

😉

*pulls up in the short bus*
hop in, Man! 😉

"It is known fact that Gemini's (or ppl with heavy Gemini influence) are always right. You must accept that, wheels. "

Yep.🙂

Why Can't You Gems Admit Being Wrong?!?!

Because they are self proclaimed bitches and incurable assholes. They think they can make a kill and get away with it this way. But the truth is contrary to that. Every Gemini ends up in graveyard of mental disorientation and hopelessy. A life spent for nothing....a waste of lifetime.

yeah dude...you're so right.
*puts on cement shoes and goes looking for a bridge*

ps. hopelessy is not a word. but dont let that get you down. keep on going, dude, cause obviously your life is full of purpose.

"obviously your life is full of purpose."

As a matter of fact it is.

"Because they are self proclaimed bitches and incurable assholes. They think they can make a kill and get away with it this way. But the truth is contrary to that. Every Gemini ends up in graveyard of mental disorientation and hopelessy. A life spent for nothing....a waste of lifetime."

Haffo, this is very interesting. Could you elaborate more?

Ok. In case there is some reason behind it, could you elaborate more, particularly on this statement: "Every Gemini ends up in graveyard of mental disorientation and hopelessy. A life spent for nothing....a waste of lifetime."

Hey, DB, if you look above, you'll see that some people agree with what I've written. I'm not pulling it out of my ass. Thanks.

Refine my topic. Ha! Like I would ever admit that needs to be done. 😉

I'm just kidding.

First off, this is an opinion board. My opinion on this matter happens to be rough, nasty, and unrefined. I'm sorry this offends you.

Second, I've never met a single Gemini who COULD admit being wrong. They like to gloss it over and find ways in which they "were not wrong", when they plainly were. Their memory seems conveniently selective.

"Every Gemini ends up in graveyard of mental disorientation and hopelessy.

Ok- this- not even a sentence. If you can not express yourself clearly, then you should not even be asking questions until you come back from grade school.....though if you can't learn then yours is a life spent for nothing...

People who have to make comments like this:

"Because they are self proclaimed bitches and incurable assholes. They think they can make a kill and get away with it this way. But the truth is contrary to that. Every Gemini ends up in graveyard of mental disorientation and hopelessy. A life spent for nothing....a waste of lifetime."

Are obviously bitter and have nothing better to say than that. People who are bitter in this way eventually realize that theirs is a "life spent for nothing.....a waste of lifetime."

Geminis admit to being wrong all the time- we are not proud to admit when we have made a mistake- of course our dual nature makes us forget that sometimes...so forgive me if I don't admit that my comment may be wrong......

Kavindra, English isn't haffo's first language.

I can understand that- still knows enough to be insulting though 😉

"of course our dual nature makes us forget that sometimes"

What do you mean by this?

And just to clarify, I was partly joking when I made this thread, and if you'll notice my message, it was a plea...I like Geminis, for the most part...my best friend of 7 years is a Gemini...but I have never once heard her admit a mistake except for once because I got weirdly emotional and cried and she felt bad...but other than that, even the simplest mistake, she twists it. It's really been driving me insane lately, and I want to know why she does it, so I can get a new perspective and hopefully avoid snapping.

"Actually you are..."

Well, aren't we condescending. I'm sorry that your experience overrides everyone else's. Or maybe you want to stick up for your fiance.

"please go back to your 'opinionated mindset'."

What, are you "analyzing me"? Go ahead, because you're wrong.

"But, my apologies for taking your thread seriously. It's been awhile since I responded to anythin you wrote."

I'm sorry you feel I'm not worthy of your attention. But then again, you're not being productive in your responses, so I guess I'll get over it.

Oh, and thanks for helping me that one time. You're a nice guy. Regardless of the fact that you just insulted me.

Wheels-

I see that you're a Leo- my little sis is a leo and we would have similar arguments when we were growing up...Gems are mutable and so we tend to take on certain characteristics of the people we spend time with- I remember not ever wanting to admit to my proud leo sister that I was wrong- because she would see my weakness and try to take advantage- I know that's all crap, but that's how I felt- I think Leo/Gem- any kind of relationships- you really have to let each other know that you are safe in each other's company- I mean that you won't take advantage of any show of weakness- which goes both ways.

My sister and I sat down eventually- (after many arguments!) and just talked and realized that we just had to be honest with each other- and now we can talk about anything and I admit to her all the time when I am wrong- and she does the same. I hope this helps- and sorry to haffo- my other Gem side was leaking again 😉

Who woulda known we would have been in similar situations.

"I remember not ever wanting to admit to my proud leo sister that I was wrong- because she would see my weakness and try to take advantage- I know that's all crap, but that's how I felt-"

Oh! That makes sense...I'm not sure if I give off that vibe...(even though I don't think I do..'cause, I mean, we don't perceive ourselves the way others do sometimes). That is interesting! Hmm...I should consider it..and no, I would never exploit her..it would genuinely suck if she feels that way. The only thing is that she's always that way..not just with me, I mean...

"My sister and I sat down eventually- (after many arguments!) and just talked and realized that we just had to be honest with each other- and now we can talk about anything and I admit to her all the time when I am wrong- and she does the same."

Hmm...ok. I can picture that working, or going VERY badly. 😛

Thank you for sharing...I really appreciate it.

Do you think it could have anything to do..the way she twists things, I mean...with the fact that she wants people to always take her seriously? Like..she is afraid that if she makes ONE mistake and admits it that people will not be able to trust things she says anymore? I know that Gems' knowledge is very important to them..

YES!!! Very true- I think we are constantly defending ourselves- knowledge is very important to us, and since we are known as the flighty or "airhead" sign, we do work very hard to make sure that when we do say things that they are very correct and any criticism of our knowledge is taken as an attack- hence admitting is a bit difficult- though once we get over that, we'll tell you EVERYTHING that we've made mistakes on 🙂

You know, maybe DB had a point...maybe it is because Gems are perceptive and think that I would hold it against them or rub it in their face if they admit they're wrong to me...that would explain why they never admit it in my presence, and also why DB says I'm pulling it out of my ass...lol

I don't know though...I've heard the same complaint from other people (non-Leos).

well, on the knowledge and competition sort of part, i can probably agree with that. you see, my best friend is also a Gem...and we are just absolutely retarded sometimes when it comes to that and it's partially because we're highly competitive with eachother in that sort of aspect. all it takes is for one of us to start with the "i know better" attitude and it's on...and it doesn't usually stop until either we're seething pist or one of us (usually me) says...this is just dumb and i refuse to participate any longer.

"all it takes is for one of us to start with the "i know better" attitude and it's on...and it doesn't usually stop until either we're seething pist or one of us (usually me) says...this is just dumb and i refuse to participate any longer."

you're scaring me! lol

well, excellent, cause after being right, that would perhaps be my next Gem perogative.

Good to see you have your priorities straight. 😛

Your topic is right on the money. My ex is on the Gem/Cancer cusp and that IDIOT never wanted to admit his wrong doing it drove me up the damn wall! Glad I am no longer part of his life and his lies...

"The idea that geminis never admit wrong doesn't make sense. Geminis are prone to swaying with others opinions, ideas, etc. They are not known for being stubborn like a leo or scorpio."

It does make sense. Kavindra said earlier that it is possible that a Gemini will not admit being wrong in certain circumstances (when they feel admitting wrong would lead to a lack of reliability with others in regard to what they know, and when they feel an error may be perceived as a weakness by others and used against them in some way). Sometimes I really think they even won't admit being wrong just for the hell of it..just to try and get a reaction. All I know is that, in my experience, in most situations they ARE extremely stubborn. I don't know the reasons, although I can analyze it and yada yada..but I'm not making it up. It's really irritating to me.

But you seem pretty unwilling to concede this point, regardless of the fact that others are having some of the same experiences as I am, so..maybe you're just being stubborn now.

Dancing Bread I suggest you relax. I was just relating to what WheelHomies said. Nobody is attacking you or your fiance.

LOL...Man

*sigh*

I never asked anyone to defend their sign. I apologize because obviously I offended people. Most Gems here don't have a problem admitting they're wrong, I guess, and that's great. Glad you all aren't like the Geminis I know.

m&mgem, you're a sweetheart, and I'm glad you didn't take the topic too seriously 😛.

we are never wrong

Uhhhh...I'm glad you find me charming, DB. *bats eyes* That statement was completely genuine. I don't understand why you pick on me so much. Is it because you don't wanna admit that there's some truth to what I said? Hm?

By the way, all that eye-rolling...might wanna see someone about that...could be somethin' serious. 😉

thanks for lookin' out for me, emeraldgem. *moseys along*

"Okay, you know what I think it is? Gems are excellent debators, right? Yes, they are. So....maybe it could be that some of them approach most discussions as though it were a debate. This is true of my nephew and several acquaintances. People often assume that they are attempting to start an argument, while they may simply view it as a friendly discussion."

That is a good point. Makes a lotta sense. I've read previously that Leo has trouble understanding this attitude of Geminis'. Guess it's something I have to work on in order to avoid irritation.

Hahaha!! Oh, man. That was great.

*tries tuning button*

Hmm..yes, seems to be working fine. Thanks notso, now I definitely have something to try 😛.

you know...i find it interesting that for the most part, the only actual advice on this thread that's been offered, in regard to the origional post and not the ensuing rubbish, has been given, sincerely, by Gems. i also find the other bits of exchange to be quite interesting...perhaps the answer to the origional question, taking into account the previously mentioned Gem given ideas, is spelled out accurately right here on the thread. just food for thought. right or not, nobody else has to share my ideas on it. i wonder if an answer was ever really the point.

Well, I can't answer that question you posed at the end, but I can say that I created this topic out of frustration, and I was hoping for Gems' advice. Through reading the responses (which I am grateful for), I realized that maybe I am misinterpreting things, and that there are things about myself I will have to work on (like the whole toning down the "proud vibe" regardless of whether or not I do it consciously, being more vocal about my frustrations...and trying new ways to look at the situation).

One thing about DXP is that there is always, always the rubbish you referred to in every thread. People not taking threads seriously, taking them out of context, taking them too seriously. There also tends to be a lot of personal exchanges between users, regardless of the initial topic, which I frequently participate in even though I realize it can detract from the usefulness of the thread.

And of course people are bound to offend you, dislike you, you dislike them...it's an opinion board; not everyone agrees.

When I first started using DXP, I started a thread asking what the point was and people just said, "Who cares! I'm enjoying it!"

So the moral is...maybe the occurrences of this thread did answer the initial question. When it comes to DXP, ya kinda gotsta just take it as it is.

kris, you can pick on him all you want. 😛

I wouldn't say he's a lunatic...he does undeniably impressive knowledge of astrology, and he tries to help people with it...but man...that air of condescension and superiority can be irritating...you can't be right ALL the time..

*does have

"seems to me ur on a roll again— j/k..."

Hmmmm 😉. If you think I'm being an ass, it's ok. No need to try and soften the blow. No, I won't mention it again. I know a lot of people appreciate DB. Even I do, that doesn't seem right, does it? 😛

Anyhow, the digression of topics doesn't bother me anymore. It did at one point.

(oh, by the way, I still think you're sweet 🙂)

And if you'd like, I can provide you with a detailed analysis as to why I believe this, to prove that I am not just trying to charm you. lol

🙂 WH...i was very impressed by your response. 🙂


and kris...why are you being such an ass? do you not realize that you're being an ass? do you think that no one else will realize that you're being an ass? i'm baffled.
