Why do we hold everything in and then totally explode?

Understanding Why Suppressed Emotions Lead to Explosive Reactions

Holding in emotions often causes stress and frustration, leading to a sudden explosion. Aries individuals may struggle with confrontation due to their sensitive nature and dislike of aggression. Learning healthy ways to express feelings can help prevent emotional build-up and maintain balanced relationships.

Hi,

I have an aries gif with an aries social circle. Boy they really push me to my limits. They are aggressive and blunt. I have a hard time fighting back when they get confrontative. Now I am totally on a rampage each time, I am overreacting. I am about to burn bridges and totally savage everything.

Why do we have a hard time fighting back? I have a few theories:

Are we too sensitive for bluntness?

Do we hate Confrontation?

Maybe we are just not cut out for aggressiveness? I heard that we thrive in Mellow surrounding.

I want to be able to aggressively put my foot down without chaning my nature.

They like it that I finally snap back, which offends me even more, because that implies that they didnt respect me just the way I am. They only respect because me Istart behaving like them.

I calmly replied each attack and now that I get loud too they respect me.

We is Taurus. I dont accept your argument. "Yeah I am agressive and blunt but at least I am honest.

They say that to.

NO NO NO. What about Boundaries, tact, Feelings? It is possible to be honest in a filtered way and taking other people feelings taking into account.

Being honest doesnt justify being inconsiderate.

I am furious, I am about to allienate permanently.

It’s just because Aries love to start shit. It’s how they’re made. You shouldn’t be around them if they ruffle your feathers because it’s not going to stop.

Wait, that means that this fun to them and not that serious or even mean spritited? Because I perceive aggressive Behavior als mild bullying, rude and intrusive.

So if I was an Aries I would fight back and everthing would be cool 5 minutes later?

Yes, it is energy to feed off of. Don’t take it personal.

Don't fight fire w/ fire

Become total opposite

act like a water sign just to piss her off

Be passive like u usually are

On days when she's not expecting start be emotionally manipulative (complain, act irritated, bring up what she never does, all of that crap)

Destroy the fire by learning the way of the water

thx,Ill have fun, I am good at outwitting and psychowarfare. Ill play with them. It mind get easier with an Attitudeshit, those are just outbursts, not a threat.

I love Aries individuals. My favorite of the fire signs. The realest people in the zodiac if you ask me. Totally unapologetic if you ask me.

Their bluntness, in my opinion is harmless. They actually have big hearts. They will snap, but will forgive easily.

Bulls,on the other hand, we tend to dwell and hold on to things.

This may be your dilemma here.

Why do we hold everything in and then explode?

It's simple.

We're Venusian Bulls.

Here are the contradicting elements between the two.

The Venusian aspect wants peace and harmony....and the Bull charges when their level of patience has been consistently challenged.

Leave a Bull alone to their own surroundings, and we're actually quite harmless, lol.

Who is we? Which sign? Fight fire with fire, that's it. They might be aggressive and blunt but probably much more nice than many nice and calm people who talk behind your back and do things you wouldn't even imagine they do...

Seriously, I trust confrontational and aggressive people more than the so called quiet and demor types.

Op you misunderstand Aries.

They may be blunt and too harsh for your liking but it is never done with malice or ill intent. If you can’t accept them for who they are then move tf on. Nobody needs fake ass friends who bitch about them to others behind their back, i.e. you.

I resent that, you are talking bullshit. I am here for advice. I try to understand and learn. I don`t judge people

I don`t talk shittalk people i.e. you, I try see things from their vantage point.

I have no problems with honesty I have a problem with being pushed around, bossed around, yelled at in public. I didnt move on, because I want to learn to deal with that kind of behavior. I have never been around hotheads so I am curious.

Because, I am into learning, getting out of my comfort zone and skill aquisition. I cant handle it, thats why I want to learn to handle it. I want to be able to deal with that later in my life.

I don`t want to loose my focus when somebody is tactless, I want to be able to hold my own, I want to be able to handle all those kinds of behaviors smoothly and make them shut up once in a while.

I just had a talk with my aries gf. They think I can be angry too but I am unable to express myself, which is true. Thats why they tease so much, when they sense that I hold back She also said, the best way is to not take it serious, view them like bratty childs or just try to be aggressive myself. Or try to outwit them. Maybe I like it.

to be honest, i don't think you should learn to be yelled at or belittled in public. that shit is out of order.

if my bf didn't stand in my corner while this is going but instead joins them? he wouldn't be my bf for long.

I am ashamed to admit it, but I need to learn what is in order what not, my parents were abusive. And again, I want to learn to deal with that kind of behavior. Can other Aries people confirm that even for you, some stuff like yelling or belittling is even for you unacceptable?`

What is socially accepted behavior for hot tempered people, what not?

i deal with that sort of thing is by telling them they have no right to behave that way in regards to me and i would walk away. i don't know if that is something that you might like to adopt.

lol, air's method

my aries friend often blows up and feels terrible after. i guess even he realises that his behaviour is not on.

(and there is no need to be ashamed for wanting to learn where the line is. i always figured it is different for everyone. some people are going to be more tolerant than others.)

Actually you are talking shit behind their backs. If you feel your friends are being aggressive, belittling, etc etc then take it up with them. Communicate. Don’t run to the internet to talk smac and get validation from faceless strangers. That behavior is WEAK af.

Or whatever. Do what you want. Good luck with the victim routine 👍

With Aries, you have to speak up. Let them know it bothers you. If the Ram cares about you, they will adjust their actions. Otherwise, usually they probably dont know it bothers you.

Aries is direct, yes. Try to understand what they are saying, and focus less on the lack of delivery. A lot only sees that delivery and loses everything else that an Aries may be saying.
