But some generalizations occur because a. Time and again, personal exp. leads you down that very path b. It is just, kind of true sometimes! Sometimes humans do show certian patterns that correlate with some other feature/description/etc. In this case, aqua.

Many loved ones, bosses, girls I've dated and friends with this sign seem to always have some grand idea on how to help/save/something along those lines humanity. Great. Their eyes even light up as I listen to them drone on about this stuff. Sure, fun. But when it comes to 1 to 1 human interaction, boy do the ones I know (I can think of at least half a dozen off the top of my head) SUCK at it. Like, wow. Hey, how about you work on 1 on 1 interactions before you tackle the bigger issues? Kinda hard to "save mankind" when you can't even deal with one person correctly!

This is just from my exp. but happened enough where I feel I can at least ask this question.

Are aqua too focused on the grand scale of helping out all of humanity (ego tripping perhaps) to even realize they first need to learn how to actually deal with things on a smaller scale to succeed on a larger one (1 to 1)?

It's also hard to save and focus on humanity when you're focusing on 1:1 interactions.

Aquarians can become annoyed with one on one at times and don't like to talk about 'dumb' stuff, which annoys other signs sometimes. They need space in relationships, meaning if you're very clingy and want to talk 24-7, they'll do it for a bit, but the annoyance factor will begin to build, because you're cutting into their other interests, like saving the world and acquiring important knowledge, and most important -- alone time.

But generally, I do think aquas are ok at one on one, they just can only handle so much before they need a time out. Aquas can need time to recharge on their own and most can't handle clinginess for long periods of time unless it's absolutely necessary.

I got called some what "witchy" on a camping trip once because I was blunt..

This guy got SO drunk in the town we had gone camping in. Earlier in the day we had gone tubing so he was still in his bathing suit.
We were up in the mountain and it gets cool up there at night. Its about 11pm/midnight, hes running around in his bathing suit barefoot, drunk, horse from a lot of yelling, and just dumb faced..
I felt super embarrassed for him. Hes a good friend of mine so I told him "Hey man.. Its pajama time."
The whole campsite stopped what they were doing and looked at me. One guy said "That was kind of ..itchy"

This sums up my impression of local customs: GOD FORBID you limit someone's freedom to be a total jackass and make them reflect upon their actions and attitude.

Freedom doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want without any consequences.

My 20 yr old Aqua daughter is great at personally relating, she can psychoanalyze (and guess the sun sign ) in a matter of a few minutes.

If my best friend tells me she's struggling with her weight, I don't tell her she's gorgeous just the way she is. I don't tell her society's view of weight is skewed. Instead, I think about her wanting to lose weight.I think "Ok, so how do PEOPLE lose weight?", as a very general problem. Then I'll offer her advice:
"You should think about working out more!
You should buy healthy food & cook it at home!
Stop going out to happy hour so much!
Have you considered going to a dietician? What about a trainer?"
Then she'll tell me she's too busy too workout b/c she's juggling work & school. She'll say buying groceries in NYC is as expensive as eating out. Plus she can't cook. She goes to happy hour to socialize & get dates, it's a necessary evil. She'll tell me she doesn't have money to hire a dietician. So as an aqua I really don't take into consideration the details of the individual, I just focus on the problem as a whole...if that makes sense!

So I don't necessarily think it's a matter of aquas sucking at 1:1 interactions b/c they don't care about the person at hand, but rather aquas find it easier to find a "fix" if we think of problems as a whole.
