I have embarked on a series of assessments of my friends. Altogether, there are twelve (I hadn't realized there were so many!), one of whom is Pisces. This is more for me than it is for you, of course. Feel free to add as necessary. 🙂


Cons: Oh, boy. "Quirky" isn't even the word. Rather, "wierdo", "mental"- something more along those lines. lol This gal loves to live lavishly, though she is the Princess of Penny-pinching. Not to mention, bossy, forgetful, and dismissive at times.

Still, the abovementioned is trivial. What bothers me most is her know-it-all attitude and all too frequent condescending tone. She whole-heartedly believes that people who differ from her secretly desire to covet her looks, culture, class, education, etc. ha!


Pros: This is a person who will undoubtedly lend a hand when you need her. If you call, for whatever reason, she will usually be there in a heartbeat. When you are down, here is a friend that will stick around. Generosity is her middle name.

She withholds judgement and is understanding of human weakness. She forgives easily. Also, there's a knack for listening...for as long as you need to vent.

HAHAHA! But doesn't the quirkiness sometimes help you see things from a new perspective? And, yes, we want the good things in life. Some of us would rather not work to get them, though. 🙂

Oh my. Does she have Aries rising by any chance? This describes one of my ram friends to a tee. So does the "bossiness".

ScorpSuperior do you think the above is genuine? I don't have any close Piscean female friends however I did have one at Uni, she was exactly like this. However the more I got to know her the more it became clear she didn't actually think much of herself at all - it was like she'd cultivated some sort of defense system of "I will put you down first before you have the chance to do it to me" which was a shame really as that aside she was lovely girl with a heart of gold.

I'm just musing, maybe she does think she's da bomb lol, you never can tell with us, because yes I wholeheartedly agree - we are weird. I speak for myself anyway.

Thanks, MsP! I wouldn't want to come off that way, and you don't either. Have you ever noticed that people who really DO know a lot and are very intelligent are the ones who voice it the least?

"My Pisces friend puts me down occasionally too, because of my culture and background. Less often now than before. I always wondered if she knew how insulting and potentially hurtful her words were."

This could be a couple things, SS. Like Thetis mentioned, it might be a defense mechanism. However, if she does this in a joking way, she may have no idea it's hurtful. I've been guilty of this. I have a sarcastic sense of humor sometimes, and I tend to tease people I care about. My intention is never to hurt their feelings, and I fully expect them to give it back to me. I have taken it too far before, and hurt someone's feelings, but once I found out, I felt terrible about it and it never happened again. If she does it again, you should tell her it hurts your feelings. I doubt she will do it again.
