Are you polite? I don't know how to explain it but when it comes to certain things like etiquette and eating with my mouth closed (lol) and being dressed well my manners are great. I hate bathroom humor.

however I can be a bit bossy and very blunt with (mainly with those who are close to me), and I suppose that may come across as rude? however I am very sensitive about people being harsh on me though I do appreciate the advice a LOT. I know it's dumb, but I'm already very critical of myself. I see my own flaws and others flaws under a microscope but I don't think of that as bad I simply notice it (I don't treat people badly if I see a flaw in them... but if they ask me for advice I will tell them what I think their flaws are, but I say it in a nice way...)

if i feel very close to someone and I want them to do something I say it as an order and a friend of mine commented on how annoying that is. for example I say, "come here"... "sit down"..."bring the pillow".... etc. lmao I don't even NOTICE it. she says that she wants me to say please. by the way she's a pisces. but what the hell, she's my friend why do i have to say please to her? if someone does something nice for me I say thank you but when it comes to such a simple thing like me wanting her to sit down why can't i just say SIT DOWN lol.

my parents spoiled me a bit so when i analyze it too much i think, "god maybe i'm just being a spoiled brat who needs to get what she wants..."... but, i don't think that's the reason, because i don't ask my friends for anything extravagant, i don't ask them to do things for me that would help me, i just like getting the point across. and i like people being direct with me too. as much as i love guessing games and putting the puzzle of someone's mind together, once the puzzle is finished and they are my friend - i love directness.
for me, being comfortable around someone means letting the aggressive, direct side of my personality come out. it can be a pain for me to be indirect around strangers just to soften my personality... it gets annoying...

i consider myself kind, i love helping people, i just feel such a comfort level with some of my close friends that i can be bossy... i don't act bossy around strangers.

are any of you similar?

I just don't understand how some people can be such close friends with someone and not be honest with them, not state what they want. some people call themselves "best friends" yet their relationship is so shallow that they only care about pleasing each other and getting the other's approval. sometimes it's a compliment when someone is comfortable enough to be selfish around you and say what they want and what's really on their mind.

i'm talking to myself.

i'm always very conscious of my p's and q's.....probably the stuck up british school i went to but i think it's important to have manners and to show them with everyone you come into contact with.

but if someone gets bad mannered in my company, then it's gloves off of course, lol. a red mist descends and i'm off on a rage.

i have to confess to something that i have never EVER done in public before. i was having some tapas with my daughter and we were so relaxed and chilled and i'd had a beer too and i burped! like really loudly— even the spanish sitting behind us said 'how disgusting' and the spanish usually don't care much for etiquette. my daughter....13 and aries sun/scorp rising gave me a death stare and stood up saying...right, we're leaving. you are too embarrassing.

i was suitably chastised and repentant 😢

would've been better had the tapas bar not had such great acoustics, lol.

haha....also in italy they like to fart at the table plus the men grow their little fingernails really long so they can pick their noses with them, lol. my ex before my ex before my ex, etc, etc was italian and when i lived with him in sicily, i had to endure his uncle pino stacking up his bogies on the arm of his chair!! gross!!

i was suspended from my school for one week for being caught in public with a group of classmates one of whom was burp talking. i was getting her to say 'julie' cos it sounded so great in burp talk!! our headmistress couldn't bring herself to say the word burp but we were ALL summarily suspended as accessories to the heinous crime of 'breaking wind' in public.
