They ask my advice, I give them the truth, they call me a loon, jealous, liar, i get ridiculed until lo n behold DMV is right.

Then the inbreds dont even give me my "you were right".

Dammit, I want what's due to me.

I'm not really sure i would want friends who label me a "loon, jealous, liar, i get ridiculed..."

Unless they are just party friends, then oh well. Their opinion isn't that important, I guess

That is the secret to giving advise is saying it in away that will be effect and people actually hear what you say...

Are you sure it is not how you are communicating your advise...—

I would be hurt if good friends said that. Prolly to the point of me not wanting to be friends with them anymore.

sigh

oh yeah, I told my aries bff tht hrr ex tauri was no good and a liar. I found out after they broke up that he flipped the script on me calling my jealous and a liar and people believed him..those people being my friends.

but yes, as friends you would think they would think that I have their best jnterest in mind.

I find that when I call it like it is to friends they usually go really quiet...because they know I'm talking sense. What I find most frustrating is when they do nothing to change the situation or seek to find a solution but will keep going on about said situation.

I really try not to get involved in my mates personal relationships (I learned the hard way with my Gemini friend); instead I try to listen but my patience wears thin with that after a while.

I think the bitchiness happens because we really do call it as it is; no bullshit. We get right to the nitty-gritty of a situation from the off. My scorp sister resents me all the time for this and hates me more when it turns out I'm right days/weeks/months later. Maybe its a thing where we look like miss know-it-all over and over again and some can't take it so they retaliate.

I only get the 'you were right' from my Virgo sis. She appreciates my logic, LOL.

Do they dismiss your advice outright? Or do they instead try and argue with you?

I ask cause this happens to me too. Only it's usually the second scenario. They know I'm on to something, but don't like the road it may or may not take them down. So instead they quibble over the directions.

well im always up for a healthy debate. usually there is a conversation where they nod and say ok and then give me their side of things. but in the back of my mind, i know there going to do what they want to do. i just sit back and get ready to pick up the pieces.

most of what i say is sooo matter of fact that i know it can be hard to digest. but once the shit hits the fan and DMV is right...i feel like im due my apology.

at this point, ive stopped giving out advice. i just dont even ask anymore.

ironically enough, my virgal gives me my "you were right." whereas aries will tell virgal that i was right but aries will still front to me like eveything is still all good or will just be silent about it.

whenever she goes into hyperdrive with how great this and that is, i know somthing is up.

i get the Ms Know it All...i can see how that would be annoying.

seriously, there have been times where im so frustrated that i will just walk away from the stupidity. like i said i get it, i have 20/20 when it comes to other peoples BS but mine....im a bit foggy inside of drama.

I feel Aries find it hard to admit to failures upfront; personal or otherwise. They seem to brush these types of issues under the carpet or mask it.

I'm the same with my own personal BS; I hardly apply my own wisdom to myself but it's my life and I know what I'm doing, LOL.

Perhaps you can take a more laid-back approach and be a listening ear. When you're suitably frustrated you can back off to re-charge, LOL. Since doing that with the gem its like role-reversal.
