They repeately say things that they come back later and totally deny?
Or they try and brainwash you into believing you just "misunderstood?"

My Aries mother did this constantly, but I just thought that was the way of mothers.

But as you may recall, I broke up with my last Aries. He wanted me to move to England with him, but didn't want me to go to school.

I'm not going to go to some forgine country where I have no friends or family and be dependant on a man. Suppose he tosses me out on the street? Then what am I going to do?

This was the "deal breaker," and the entire reason we broke up.

Low, and behold, Mr. Aries reappeared last night, (6 months later) and says:

"I never said I wanted to bring you over but not put you in school....where did you get that idea? If you had ended up over here, the first thing I would have done is enrolled you at college!"

The very issue that broke us up was now "his plan all along!"

(This is hardly the first time he's pulled this kind of stunt. He must think he has superpowers and can do mind-control.)

Only with one of them, I would say "You said you were going to buy my lunch today"
Him: "what? I never said that." (smiles)
me: "yes you did, Micheal."
Him: Laughing, "No I didn't"
I thought he had like a super bad memory, but now I see it's an aries thing.

Like, my Aries mother and I would get home from a trip, and then she would try and convince me that the trip was over a year ago.

I would be like:
"Mom, we just got back yesterday."
"No, it was a year ago."

She would sit there working on me for about an hour, trying to see if she could convince me! I just looked at her like she was crazy.

i've been finding myself pulling stunts like that ALL the time. it really is this kind of thinking that maybe if i defend the opposite stance long enough, theyll believe that it really was my stance all along..

lol My mum does this.. She doesn't do it on purpose. She actually spaces out completely unknowingly. You could talk to her for an hour and think she listened..and at the end of it she'd be like "what?" lol she has a Gemini moon..1 min attention span. Drives my cancer step dad and I, a little crazay...but I love her lots.. It's kinda funny in a way, when you get used to it.

She sometimes says "never said that”.. but usually it's "that never happened" when IT DID lol.. my step dad says she's on a different planet sometimes. She seriously IS lol

Yeah, my mother's got a Gemini Mars, and she's the same way. She's a little crazy in the literal sense, though. My mother's just a deceitful person in general. But I don't think that's an Arian thing. I think it's more to do with her Pisces Rising or Mercury (12th House).

LeylaFey, I doubt that most Aries have an avid motivation in mind control like the way you do; this is speaking in reference to threads you have submitted posts to.

I am taking your words into consideration- however, I have never been in the habit of saying something only to deny it later. Or try to convince someone of an obvious lie just to see if I can get the to believe it.

Lol. I've done it before. Someone tries to get me to do something I don't want to, and I'll cave. Then I'll find a way to get out of it. It's not usually "I didn't say that." it's more of a I'll-just-not-show-up kind of thing.

I've done that loads of times. People annoy me by pressuring, when I say no.. so I'll just say.. sure COURSE I'll go.. and later say I'm not feeling well, or something along those lines. I don't feel guilty about it at all (maybe that's because of my own Pisces Merc or my Mars/Nept conjunction). I feel like they shouldn't have pressured in the first place.. and it's my personal decision if I want to go or not or what I choose to tell them. It's absolutely none of their business.

"classic Aries half-thought" which is when an Aries implusively blurts out something incomplete, sketchy or terse, yet makes it sound like it's a complete and thorough statment, and then leaves you to fill in the blanks. And when you do fill in those blanks, they argue with you on how you've misconstrued what they said. I have had that type of "conversation" with various Aries pals over the years. LOL.

i have also noticed the 'no i didnt say that' disease which i hate. i am really annoyed with ppl in general nowadays and v p!ssed at aries bf too now that u brought this up im ****** even more anyway. its like they dont have very good communication skills. they cant communicate what they mean, what they are really thinking, so what the heck are we other non arian ppl supposed to think huh. for a gemini words are a big issue, and if the words sound wrong i cud stop talking to the person forever which i have done in more than 20 cases at least. last week my aries bf called me 'selfish' jokingly. i think i will snub him this week now.

Then, she'd finally give up in frustration and stalk off in a huff, all mad and p*ssed off that it didn't work. She'd go slam a door and not talk to me for the rest of the day."

My best friend is an Aries
I don't know how this has happened, but since the 4th grade, we have been best pals. (not without some "can we even be friends" arguments, however)

Anyway, she does this whole denial thing
"I never said that" or "you got it wrong" even when other people clearly heard it/saw it as well and can verify it. This is something she does all the time.

In fact, sometimes her Aries nature can be a bit much, and some people, sick of arguing just say: FINE! and move on. Of course, the Aries thinks she has won-because life is a battle-right?

I would always think I'm being honest and straightforward but the real problem is I tend to say *and a lot of Aries I know* things without first thinking it over...just blurting things out without thinking about the consequence of my words.

We also have some of the worst memories. So we truly forget half the things that might have been said. My best friend, a Pisces, would get irritated but she also had a memory like an elephant!
I couldn't believe all (what I considered 'trivial' things that anyone would say) the things she could remember.

Aries also tends to be VERY moment to moment.
So what we say in the moment is truly what we honestly feel.

Another (what can be perceived at really annoying trait) is the tendency to talk loud AND talk over people. Or to ask someone a question without leaving room for an answer. I'm trying to learn to LISTEN more than blurt out unnecessary words that might be irrelevavnt or potentially hurt someones feelings (which is not my intention at all). Part of it is that we always want to be first at everything...and initiate things.

Of course when its pointed out that our behavior can be impulsive, rash or downright rude we think "me?! rude? i'm just speaking the truth."

That's my experience...hope it helps you somehow
