Is it just me, or does it seem like they disagree with you just to disagree with you sometimes?

No you're wrong. We would never do that...

I disagree, because I take devil's advocate for shits n giggles.

I like to be the advocate's devil and giggle while I shit on the opposition.

LMAO, you two do suit to a tee 😛

Gawd, some Libras suck at arguing. They think they're right, and then confuse the hell out of you with their flip flopping, THEN think they won because you gave up out of sheer frustration due to their shitty logic. It's effing maddening.

thank god I'm not the only one haha
fire signs unite! *fist bump*

They have this complex about being told what to do too...

I'll ask the leeb to do something, like for example crack open the window. But I'll say oh don't open it all the way though it's a little cold.
He blatantly opens it all the way anyways.

Grrrrrr!!

Sometimes I feel like I have to use reverse psychology and that's just ridiculous! He's not a child and I'm not his mother

He is telling you he refuses to be controlled. 🙂 Beware the Libra mind-reading skillz. They are awesome and 3 steps ahead of your instincts 😉.
Librans train the people around them to be genteel, soft, refined and polite individuals. No-one can make it happily with a Libra without being transformed into a sensitive, socially aware being. And they call us the 'weak' signs? Pfft.

Libras don't like being controlled or told what to do. That's what you're getting. (And he's prolly got bit of scorpio).

The only one who's better at this (and more manipulative) than Libra is Aries.. When being with an Aries, a Libra undergoes a reverse spiral and loses his sensitivity, becoming more like aries.

This is going to be half-cheeky, half dark humor... but there's a nice little nugget of truth in the creamy center, if you care to dig for it.

Yes, Libra's flip flop, play both sides, play Devil's Advocate... They're Scales.. they're about BALANCING, not necessarily BALANCE.. it's HARD to actually BALANCE.. the littlest thing throws it off, then back to BALANCING again...

Damn, don't you know how to use that to your advantage, Bri? But you just SAW it in action! Gotta be subtle (I know, I know.. tough for a Sag, but try!).. and SUBTLY start turning the conversation the other way... watch, like magic, when you cross the halfway point, when you are now "fighting" on the side he's been fighting on.. he'll switch sides!

THIS is how you get a Libra to admit they are wrong and accept their share of the blame.. by working your way closer to switching it up.. suddenly, switch it.. take YOUR blame.. suddenly.. no, it's NOT your fault (even if he's been saying all along that it IS!).. Libra accepts HIS blame... aaaand sometimes a portion of yours too.

It's like the kids' argument..
Boy: Nu uh
Girl: Uh huh
Boy: Nu uh
Girl: Uh huh
Boy: Nu uh
Girl: Uh huh
Boy: Nu uh
Girl: Nu uh
Boy: Uh huh
Girl: ....
Boy: Damn, got me again

Plus, every Libra I've known likes snappy comebacks and witty repartee... Debate (not argument, with butthurt feelings) gets their juices flowing, and they can fight EITHER side of the debate.. and switch sides!

You got into a DEBATE with him about the douche friend.. he switched sides.. it gives him more information from which to draw upon for his own conclusions, anyway... don't get all upset and insulted that he switched sides and suddenly made you feel wrong ANYWAY.. I'm sure HE'S not still dwelling on it.. it was a fun debate, not a screaming match.. he played Prosecutor AND Defending Attorney.. feeling out both sides for what feels truest.

Cuz yeah.. no one can push a Libra.. weakest sign, my ass. o.o

Hahaha good point. 🙂

*high five*

"He's a Scorp moon. He is seriously aggravating."

You have to bear the ere of his furnace.. That Sagittarius of yours will keep you afloat.
Scorpio moons.. have the worst placement. They live in brimstone and hellfire every second, especially if they get emotionally agitated.

* Is it just me, or does it seem like they disagree with you just to disagree with you sometimes?

Haven't and won't have a chance to read the whole thread as I am suppose to be doing OtHeR tHiNgS. But it makes sense when you consider that we are a BALANCING sign. Not a balanced sign. When you say cat, we think dog. We bring the opposite, the balance.

If it helps, when I notice that I have done it, it annoys me too. hee hee.

Haha I wish my leeb was even half as self aware 😛


hey you! btw

Some people have no decency to leave others alone. GET LOST, devil incarnate! I could do the same to you (stalk and speak evil) but then again, that is low behavior. Is this what ARIES woman is really like? Come on! You don't rep the Aries name at all. You sound like the ex Aries friend I unfortunately got to know. Man, knowing someone like you is a curse! I pity the Libras who have to see you on a daily basis. Now PISS OFF like a bad ram on heat!

He did it again last night and I was thinking about this thread the whole time smirking.

NEF I tried your advice...he was sooooo on to me thouh...it didn't work. Lol.

We were talking about this tow company he knows that's based out of NY and for sure are about to get shut down for predatory towing...he was reading me the news article about it.

So I was like haha good! they're douchebags...they're gonna get what's coming to them.
He does a 180... (as predicted)
He's like well, not really, they're just doing what tow companies do in NY. The parking situation is different there.

I'm like ........... (thinking about what Nef said)
Yeah, you're probably right. *smirk* They're a fine upstanding company.
He pauses (almost got him) then he's like YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT with all this attitude.

Lol damn. I think I did it wrong. He must have sensed my blatant sarcasm.

You're probably right. 🙂

Still so annoying sometimes

Luckily he has lots of other dashingly awesome qualities to counter it ?🙂
Plus I thought Sag's were top of the tree when it comes to 'hoof in mouth' syndrome ?
It's like you're complimenting each others qualities in that sense 🙂

Yeah we do complement each other well.
I speak without thinking...he speaks from both sides of his mouth (maybe from thinking too much)

On that note...that's really the only thing that annoys me about him.

Oh & he's rude as shit sometimes.
He could care less about making a scene in public as long as he initiated it and it's satisfying his ego.
I would never make a public scene. PERIOD. & I don't appreciate them. (Leo moon?)

teehee.. there ARE drawbacks to a guy knowing you for sooo many years... and yes, I daresay he caught on quickly.. you're a Sag.. blunt, straightforward.. I figure by now he can pick up on whether you're genuinely taking a side.. and when you're using sarcasm or cheekily just messing with him by doing so.. in which case, he'll STILL maneuver around until he comes out on top. Witty banter, mental sparring.. thrust and parry.. yeah... you two have a connection that gives him an edge LOL

But seriously.. the best use of this switching sides for balance thing.. is when arguing (for real).. when tempers flare and blame is thrown... if he's insisting he's right, and you're wrong.. and you know you're right, and he's wrong... accept YOUR share of the blame.. even if he was TOTALLY blaming you, 100% .. the Libran Scales will usually make him see your acceptance of your share of the blame as an opening to accept HIS share too.

People keep saying a Libra will NEVER admit fault or accept blame.. but the truth is.. they simply refuse to accept ALL of it, cuz it's not fair. Make it more fair, and a Libra will usually apologize if one is in order. Pushing a Libra or demanding them to take on all (or most) of the blame won't work., and they won't generally take THEIR share FIRST. Does that mean you have to bend a little? Yup. Bend or break, your choice. YOU know Libras aren't as weak and wishy-washy as some believe haha

*bump*
