So I dont know if this question has been on here before or not, so sorry ahead of time. But my question is do you guys ever feel like people dont listen to you? I feel like it all the time, home, sometimes my boyfriend and even work. I'm so fed up with it! It's most irritating when people at my work do this. I figure its because I'm the youngest person at my job. Everyone is in their late 20's and 50's. Even when I turn into a "bitch" just to get people to listen and not walk all over me, I end up coming on too strong and feeling bad afterwards. Have any other Pisces here felt like this? I'm almost to the point where I wont even offer people advice or make suggestions. From observing peole close to me and just co-workers, my opionion doesnt matter. Ugh.
Yes I feel your pain. What's worse is when they just interrupt you mid-sentence as if you weren't even speaking. I always felt that my voice is drowned out by other noise a lot. I know what you mean by blowing up to get your point across and then feeling like an assface.
I learned that if they don't want to listen then their loss. I quietly let them continue to speak until I see a break and I run for it. LOL
Sometimes people don't want to hear it... or maybe they do hear it but they don't like what they hear. Truth hurts sometimes. I know a few people that wouldn't pay attention to what I just said then 2 minutes later say it like they came up with it. It's like I'm their subconscious voice or something.
Most people just like the sound of their own voice. If they don't want to listen then let them learn from their own...
Or you could give them a taste of their own medicine and just not listen to them?
Nope, not a word. I can make a relevant point to a topic only to be cut in mid-sentence or ignored. Only to have my point come out of someone else. I am usually over-powered it feels like in conversations and most of the time I just do what I do best I guess. Sit and listen. It seems the only way to make anyone hear me is to be a complete bastard to get a point across and I hate it. Also strangely enough, My cancer friend has turned himself into my "Mouth piece and Interpreter" so whenever he's around I can never get a word in edge wise because either he "interprets" what I say, or he tells other people what I mean which is usually wrong in personal matters, leaving me ticked off and moody. *shrugs* I can relate with the first two posters on how they feel when in a conversation and how people cannot seem to listen what is said.
I find for the most part, people do hear & respect me, as i do them, weather it's an opinion, current events, a mutual laugh, a recommendation, or just to shoot the breeze about nothing. Of course, i don't always expect mutual agreement, but yes i feel i have my own voice to contribute. Though, if it's not all that important or interesting to me, i'll sit back and let others have the floor. i had this really interesting, lively convo with an aqua a few weeks back and i'm thinking we both had mercury in aquarius, because we were on the very same communicating, mental wavelength, both listening intently, yet very excited to share in each others interests, ideas, opinions which we were mostly in agreement. We even didn't care for cutting each other off midsentence-actually it was kind of funny, because we wern't competing at all, just enjoying a great* conversation. Though it seems we all have to tough it out now and then, i try and spend as little time as i need to, if it's just not working mentally, intellectually with someone.

yea i can be really funny to ppl at times but i get caught up in my emotions so much that i sometimes just sit in the cut, and drink in my surroundings instead of talking. i can read faces well, so when someone gives me a funny look while im talking, it kinda throws a wrench in my train of thought lol.
but to the main topic i can talk really low sometimes, funny cause all of my friends and family know what im talkin about all of the time. but in mixed company i get,
"huh?" *leans in* "what did you say?"
then i end up raising my voice (which can be really booming, which is why i dont like to talk loud) and causing everyone to get in my bidnezz. and i dont like no one in mah bidnezz

Don't worry, Bramwell .. it all comes back eventually.
What I mean is that ... after time you will learn not to even mention your point, and then you'll see that in the conversation it never even dawns on the other people, so you know that their points they make are yours and not thier own, which you already know .... but, what you will find out is the eventually, your people will begin to realize that conversations have run stale, and aren't as interesting as they used to be ... then after even more time has passed, the epiphany will smack them in the face >>>>>> it's because you stopped participating.
However, you knew that ^^^ from the very beginning because they were your thoughts that another person tried to express as their own.
And with that ^^^^^ you will find satisfaction in knowing that your more intuitive than the others and that's way more important than being heard.
To you, Pisces, I give the most difficult task of them all. I ask you to collect all of man's sorrows and return them to Me. Your tears are to be ultimately My Tears. The sorrow you absorb is the effect of man's misunderstanding of My Idea, but you are to give him compassion that he may try again. For this, the most difficult task of them all, I give you the greatest gift of them all. You will be the only one of my twelve children to understand Me. But this gift of understanding is for you, Pisces, for when you try to spread it to man, he will not listen."
Or, it could just be that ^^^^^^^ a curse Pisces, for when you try to spread the word to man, he will not listen to you.
People listen to me .. but, usually not until much later.
Pisces tend to cut to the quick .. people take awhile for their brains to come to terms that we narrowed the point down for them while everybody else was stilling sorting through all the surface matter.
They always come to realize that I had it from the very beginning .... they just couldn't hear me until they shedded the layers of bullshit to get to the point.
