Want Only What You Can't Have?

Does this happen to many of you? I've heard it's a Sag thing for sure - and I can relate that's for damn sure.

I feel like it comes from our desire to be the best/have the best/do the best, and also because we're very independent and want to do things by ourselves, or the hard way. This for sure describes me, and many sags I know.

Also, I think it's because we like a challenge. Experiencing that right now with an ex...want her back in my life more than anything, but not sure if it will happen. She's the only women that's left me....I'm usually on the other end of that. Feels strange.

Also, in terms of my career, how I want my life to be, etc...all seems so unattainable sometimes. However, I have a firm belief that I'll get everything I want if I work hard enough. Might be silly of me to believe that, but I really do.

Can any of you relate to this?

Yup

When I read your post I just kept thinking "yes, yes, yes, yes...".

I definitely think it's a sag trait, and part of our personality. I want to ace everything I do yet I don't get satisfied in the least when I get things too easily.

There's this guy in my life that I want so bad, and I guess it's partly because I know I can't have him. We're friends with a past and now that he has a girlfriend I was bummed yet I felt like it just made me want him more than ever. However I don't know if that's just me or if it's my sag shining through.

not anymore.
i don't want whatever doesn't want me.
if it's confusing or too much of a challenge, i release it quickly.
but i used to.

I think it goes beyond people...I mean that's part of it...but I think it's got to do with the challenge. We stagnate without a challenge. There's no purpose to life without it. Who wants to take the easy way out? Not me. Being average is for suckers. That's my view anyway. If I want a normal life, I wouldn't work nearly as hard as I do in order to make things happen. I can't imagine being any other way, honestly. Of course, it makes life hard for us. We put ourselves in rough positions on purpose a bit. But again...what else would you do. I can't even relate to any other way of thinking.
