I really can't stand it when people just make shit up and it's obvious it's bullshit... Like so you really think I'm that dumb that I'm going to believe that story of yours?

And yet...

I rarely call them out on it because what's the point in unnecessary drama. Unless they direct their bullshit at me... I'll just let it slide. But, I wonder... is it harmful to these people to indulge and humor their bullshit.

What do you guys and gals do when someone makes outlandish statements that are obviously not true??

I indulge people's stories all the time! When I get bored I just point out why everything they told me is BS. I don't see why an Aqua would want to waste their time on nonsense, though.



Well I mean if I'm at work it's either I listen or be rude and cause conflict. If I don't have to be somewhere like just out and about I wouldn't pay much attention to them at all.

They're usually kind of nuts, so arguing with them about their exaggerations and/or delusions is pointless, IME.

That shit really is annoying, though.



Yeah, this is what I figure the general outcome would be. Mostly, why I just sit back and get annoyed almost willingly you'ld think. I just wonder though if even though they won't own up to it... at least they'll learn their bullshit doesn't fly and they need to actually accomplish real things in life to gain respect and not feel like they can make shit up to do that.

what are you going to do about it? It's the internet. You share your real life stuff or some actually share MADE UP stuff. *shrug* Just yelling at them and stuff is gonna cause drama, and if you are strong enough then go and indulge in the drama.

I believe that some of us are really sharing our real life stuff.



Well I'm referring more in real life then here. I expect people to bullshit here actually haha.

i dont know anyone in real life who BS's. Everyone i know are very open and honest about themselves (I mean they have their privacy too, but you can get a gist about who they are upfront)

Maybe the company you keep is like that, and don't mind them, because they want to feel good about themselves.

I let them go on & on w/o ever alerting them to the fact that I know they're full of sh**t, just to see how far they'll go

I never take it personally though. Pathological liars aren't usually bad/evil people, nor are their intentions usually to hurt you. They just have a lot of insecurities, personal problems & use outlandish statements as a means to over-compensate for what they're really lacking.

If someone I care about is lying to me about something that is important or is affecting me in some way, then instead of wasting the energy accusing them of lying or begging them to be honest, I just show my displeasure by distancing myself from them. It's not until I disappear that it hits them that I didn't believe their bullsh**t after all

But hey that's just me. I like making others think that I believe them. I love seeing the look of arrogance & victory on their face when they think I've bought it. Ironically, I also love seeing the look on their face when they realize they underestimated my intelligence, when it finally dawns on them that I NEVER bought it to begin with smh

1 time I was out with some girlfriends when this guy approached us. He went on & on about how rich he was & how he was known all around town for his connections/money. I mean this guy was going on & on about his money like he really believed what he was saying!!

Ironically, we saw him get on the bus to get home. Not only that, but a friend later found him on Facebook & he listed his place of employment as "Cashier at Wendy's."

You don't have your own apartment/house, your own car & make minimum wage, but yet you're rich?? Righhhhhhht

This sounds unreal. Not just people who BS, but I feel like people who brag about themselves no end also come across like BS's.

How is that unreal? My neighbors are who they are. They don't pretend to be something they are not. Maybe my husband's colleagues, but he doesn't befriend alot of people either.

Maybe you have to consider the company you keep. Just like the OP is complaining.

Dude your an Aqua... This is actually your MO... With your Pisces Moon with Venus what do you expect...

It is actually kinda a karmatic lesson for Aqua's to learn this... I am am not knocking you but your Aqua is in the 9/10 house... so you have strong placement being in your MC... Your ruler is in the & 7th house... Or your Uranus... This is why your Sag is placed as your number one placements... Your Jupiter which was Zeus... The god of the Olympias... was their... so again I think of astro... as placements with different meanings of the gods... Because people would never believe that Universe is written in code consistent though just about everything thing... So they used placements of planets... So larges most expansive planet their... conj... ruler... and 7th house... harsh placements... This maybe why you are a Taurus rising... it fits perfect as you have the shoulders like you carry all of this...

Tap in to the Pisces side maybe get some stones to pump it up... as it will let you be more of a leaf in the wind...

I know people lie all the time... Most of the time I pick up on it but realize more often then not they are doing to make the other person feel more comfortable...

This is why it was funny when you called me delusional... as maybe the people that see more or a well rounded picture would seem delusional to most people in the world... You or I are not the only people in the world and there are outside influence... And don't think I don't see how shy you are about being kinky in bed too... but shy about it... LOL 😉 secrets safe with me...

Learn to except things for what they are... maybe if you realize you don't see all sides still and people then will come around and tell you when they are ready... of course... Even I have my limits...

Yes Venus just transited out Sagg... which is love money or sex... in the 7 House...

Anyways I never took it personal you called me delusional... you actually have an amazingly good heart and I can feel that Pisces MOON Venus in Pisces friend...

Be a leaf in the wind... take the good with the bad and excel... to higher reaches of the heavens my friend...

Namaste

Much like you, if I find it bothering me to some degree I do debate whether to make myself a part of it or not, but in the end, if it wasn't directed to me personally, I let it slide. Lack of reason for wasting my energy on such shenanigans. Always come to the "Why feed what you believe is wrong." conslusion.

lol PM I thought you were talking about me...like the "dude" wasn't obvious enough 😛



Your an Aqua... too... that was a hair more directed at him and where he is in his life... Sorry... but yes you will have some of the same influences going... Which I am not saying I know because you did not tell me but... Love, Money, Or sex...

I just glanced at his chart... Aquas are having a hard time right now... I know a few... and the Mercury retro grade did not help you guys at all... like the rest of us just about...

It is like mixing spices... you have to have a feel for what a pinch is or a dash of that with charts... I am not always right but normally then it is like tasting the food after it is done... not getting mad and learning from it for next time... so pin pointing how and where you are wrong is equally important... not getting hurt or to egotistical is important when looking at charts..

I remember my Leo brother lied to his Aqua girlfriend once, and she found out about it.

He told her, —It's not a lie if you find out about it.??





See that is bs...

It is more like was it really a white lie...

The worst thing is Aqua's come with a natural BS detector... actually the best in the Zodiac... this is why they are good at giving general detached advise... they are normally swooned off in any direction or most often their worst fears if they sense a lie... Because they know someone lied but don't understand why... Remember we are in Mercury retro... well just ended today about... still have some after shocks...

Aqus are amazing because eventually they will detach to try and be other people's good company... Libra and Gems have similar characteristic... But still remain different...

I told him where his Uranus was at in the 7th house... of Sag... They are really kinky sex normally like Scorpios... this why often heavy influence Scorpios and Sag... are the kinkest... Like their idea kinda thing... Other Signs or placements make these people less or more agreeable...

You see Venus the planet of love just came out of Sagg...

Well anyways... you guys had similar things... but his was much more intense... and your Uranus is really Scorpio... So you like kinky sex... but your Sag is different house... with Neptune...

So yours was a different thing slightly... as it more has to do with the houses...

The Neptune is Sagg would suggest you more want the feel the passion from your partner and are willing to be agreeable with just about anything they want or even suggestive if you know what it is...

i don't get along with aquas.







i've always wondered about leo conjunctions... say a sun to venus leo synastry. both want attention so how can they work? it's like "I'm too hot for you!" "No, I'm too hot for YOU!"



My Gemini ex had Venus in Leo. lol

There was a lot of —You don't love me as much as I love you!??
click to expand




This people forget has to do with the idea that idea of how different people really show their love... So I don't doubt you cared for him but they feel they have an obligation or standard... and they always do what they think is needed and then throw it in your face later... Gemi interesting though... lol Social... mmmm that must have been fun...

idk nacho... I think people often lie about stuff that isn't very important to me. They lie just to make themselves feel better about they're life, or to be accepted by others in a certain way.

But almost any story that you hear, will most likely never be totally true... its just the perception and opinion of the person telling it. So I don't take what someone says as true, and I also don't see take it as not true. I see no value in making that distinction. It doesn't matter.

The only truth I seek is in the soul.

What do i do when someone makes outlandish statements that are obviously not true?? I say, ok. and if it is true, I say, ok.

I just don't care enough to get worked up about other peoples drama. Even if it is true, what does it matter to me?

Yeah I here you about it not being my problem. I just feel bad sometimes when I think about how not saying anything about it to them might be adversely effecting the particular individual who is spouting off the absurd story at the time to me.

In my mind I wonder if it isn't really better for that person to just have there bullshit called out...

But your right it's not my problem so I suppose I shouldn't make it. Dunno why I'm worried about it... LoL worried about the well being of people who annoy me...so dumb =_=
