I was watching a movie tonight on DirectTV channel 550. In one part there's this dude at a bar table berating another fellow sitting at the bar with his back to the name caller. Eventually, the dude at the bar spins around, jumps up and hits the dude at the table so hard he kills him.... that would not be me.

I would turn slowly around, look at the foul mouthed dude and calmly say "man, you're really starting to piss me off". As long as he stayed seated, it'd just be a discussion, he could insult me all he wanted. I'd know he was trying to get me angry and I'd know how silly it all seemed. I might actually think it's funny. As far as I know, I have no buttons to push, so insults don't work on me. However, if he jumped up and got in my face, I'd probably punch him in the throat, which would slow him down for awhile, heh... I just don't anger easily... it's a waste of time.

I've lived my whole life this way and the fights I've been in I can count on one hand. Of course, I'm tall and have a calm menacing stare that throws a fright into some, others I simply ignore. Has always worked for me.

I do however, when I get frustrated while working, get pissed and swear like a sailor. But it's always directed at the fucked up project or part I can't get to work right... and I can turn it off instantly. I might bitch about something while working in my garage, see my dogs cower, and settle down and say "It's ok girls, I'm not mad at you".

If a friend does piss me off, It has happened tho very rare, I tend to think about it for awhile, before confronting them. I never want to start shouting nonsense that I might regret saying later. I hate it when people start screaming and saying all sorts of nasty things, then later they say they're sorry and didn't mean all those bad things they said... my thinking is "then why the fuck did you say it?"

Branh:
>However, I am quick to get someone to shut the hell up. When someone want to nitpick me or even criticize me, then I'll be a bit ruthless with my words.

Good point. I realize I do that too. While driving for Huber Sod Farms this summer, my boss started nitpicking me about taking a break while on the return trip from a delivery in Chicago. He starts going on and on about how drivers are not allowed to take any breaks, how we have a schedule to keep, how it doesn't matter if I've always been on schedule, it's against company policy for drivers to take breaks etc... and my face got red, and I raised my voice louder than his and told him, forcefully, yet coherently what it was like to be a big rig truck driver and how you have to take small breaks every now and then. And when he persisted, I told him he was free to fire me on the spot if he wanted, and just stared at him... that shut him up, and he walked back into his office. He never bothered me again and from then on, when he called on my cell, if I was taking a break, I'd just lie and say I was stuck in traffic...

I just experienced some Virgo anger today from this Virgo lady - my coworker damn! yesterday she even remembered a pen of her's that I had 'borrowed' some three weeks ago, I was using it on a map grid and she picked up on it from like ..... the other side of the room or something and before I could take my eyes off the map I got one rapid fire verbal assault with.. a polite smiley face. When she was angry today well tonight it came right out of the blue and I could see it in her face no smiley face. I think I will retalite the next time and give her a dose of he own medication - break her up a bit - I can move just as fast as she can. Virgo some version of Mercury only afterall Mercury is a 'split' planet.

Mine is a slow, sulky, mumbling anger. I'll go through a whole range of emotions prior to actually expressing it outwardly.

Maybe like this order: - first I feel insulted - then feel misunderstood - feel like I let this person down - apologetic - discussive - then if none of these makes peace---> BAM !!!, right in your face with a healthy verbal dose of profanity carefully chosen to make full effect of the moment. Takes alot to get this Virguy pissed off to actually be able to express it aloud....very messy for Virgos to make a public display of anger

Now the Aries females......there is someone who makes it an artform of expressing their anger!

looking in on it, my anger usually comes from someone offending my pride, or intellect (where I place my pride). Although I'd never show it on the surface, I seethe with anger when someone offends my pride......I hate the type of anger that makes your nostrils flare, and show that deranged look on your face.....anger should be expressed calmly, and powerfully, not wildly, and sloppy:retain your poise and composure, but let your actions do the talking.

Haha, I like this topic! Hmm if someone really p!sses me off, I usually give them the "look of doom" lol, me and my older brother who's a gemini both just have this look we get that seems to freak people out. They usually back off...If it's just some moron being a smart alec, then i'll happily and quickly put them in their place.

It usually takes alot to wind me up enough to actually raise my voice or really get me going, but I have been known to shout and boy the things that come out lets just say well they can be harsh but they are ALWAYS true, i never say things that are untrue when i'm angry. I have occasionally slammed doors, but that's about as bad as it gets. My mars is in sagittarius, so when i get angry I have to go away and do something physical - I normally go and polish the car! I often feel really sad for hours and hours after someone has really wound me up tho 😢

In all honesty I am actually afraid to let myself get any angrier than that, I have just always felt that I have this really dark side, and I don't want to explore it.

"I am actually afraid to let myself get any angrier than that, I have just always felt that I have this really dark side, and I don't want to explore it."


I think my Virgo husband is a tad bit leary of this too. Not often does he explode, but, when he does .... he kind of freaks himself out about it and gets upset with himself. When I try to talk to him about being upset .. telling him it's ok to lose your temper once in a while, and not to feel bad or guilty about it .. I can just tell by the look on his face ..

.. that he scard himself.

And so, I think this scaring of himself is what you said .. he's worried about what might be lurking "over there" in the dark recesses.

Goki, I choose to keep the dark side under wraps because I don't believe I "need" it in my life. I have been in a relationship in the past that at times did get physically abusive, and I have had to think some seriously sick s**t in the name of self preservation (luckily enough I didn't have to act on it - but it came close). And I don't ever want to have to think like that again. I don't want the negativity that comes with the dark side lingering around me, it serves no good in my life.

I don't see any problem with the occasional blow-up when something really upsets you, but where to draw the line? I wasn't freaked out by what i've "done", but by what I have thought and what I know I am capable of doing if I had to without any hesitation. Not pretty at all! I do agree with you about embracing self though - that is definately so important.

I get sad because I get deeply emotionally bothered about the issue that caused the blow-up, not sad about the blow-up itself. Sometimes it annoys me that people can impact me in such a way that I can feel so awful for so many hours after they've gotten over it, but I guess that's just who I am and part of what makes me a human.

"say the nasty's thing and dont care for your feelings. it takes a lot to make me MAD, sure i get irrataited like anyone else but to get MAD you have to do a lot"

Hmmm, interesting. I believe this to be true. Virgos don't seem to be the "angered" type. And if they are, they sure have a good way of hiding it. But it's always the people that aren't easily angered that you should be afraid of when they ACTUALLY do get crossed. I think a Virgo who's SNAPPED is alot more dangerous than like a Scorpio or something (because of the fact that it was NOT expected)...Ooooh, watch out for Virgos 🙂
