I appreciate the people who appreciated any insights,information,or viewpoints that I have. Honestly,it wasn't easy sharing them. Deep down,I am very shy person and care about what people think about me. I am too sensitive for my own good. That's definitely reflected by my Pisces Moon in 6th square Neptune in 3rd. That configuration also reflects the misunderstandings that I tend to have from others. Being accused of being egotistical,self aggrandizement,and showing self importance just because I am trying to help others by sharing viewpoints,opinions,experiences,information to people who have problems that I can relate to is very hurtful to me. It has nothing to do with that. It's empathy,compassion and deep caring that motivates to want to help others in any way. That's how I positively express my Pisces Moon in 6th square Neptune in 3rd. My character being attacked is uncalled for. I don't like that I can't defend myself without being accused of ranting and other negative things. I guess people don't understand my 4 planets in 3rd house.

I admit that I was wrong because I tactlessly expressed my viewpoint about Aries/Scorpio compatibility. I already admitted that before. Being an astrologer who has done readings for years,I have always disliked stereotypes. I could have said things in a tactful way. I can admit when I am wrong about things and try to make up for it any type of way. I am a person who easily feels guilty about stuff. It doesn't take much for anybody to make me feel bad,guilty,or remorseful. It's a weakness of mine. Of course my greatest weakness of all is insecurity,and that is also connected to feeling guilty easily. Stress is another one. I find reading all this negative stuff very stressful. I always feel the need to respond to what people say,but I am afraid that it will make things worse. I also feel that if I don't respond,then people will believe that I am agreeing with the negative stuff that they are saying about me and to me. A catch 22. Damned if I do.....Damned if I don't. remind me what I said about Eris. I am not good at making points to defend myself because I feel very stressed and it's hard for me to think when I am stressed. It makes me temporarily lose the compensation for my Dyslexia and Dyspraxia to the point that I can say things that are disorganized or convoluted or just don't make much sense. I tend to think everything slowly before I verbalize to compensate because picture thinking is dominant mode of thinking. So it's only natural that my thought processes would suffer under stress.

I don't feel very comfortable in this forum right now. As you know, I am an ultrasensitive person just with Pisces Moon square Neptune. It doesn't take much for my feelings to get hurt and for to feel hurt from others being hurt. I react to negativity very strongly in a negative way just like I react to positive stuff very strongly in a positive way.

All I can is that people who attacked me and judged me negatively, you don't know me. You don't know me in person,never heard my voice,nor grew up with me. You're not around me 24 hours a day. I would appreciate that you cease judging me. I haven't judged anybody in here. However, there are some people that I don't like in here. I won't hesitate to tell those people that I don't like them.

any ways....I feel that I need to take a break from this forum

drained from this negativity

I am very grateful for the positive things that people have said to me in here. It gives me a very strong positive feeling. But the negative things that people have said me give me a very strong negative feeling,and so I have to lay low for awhile.

peace

May I offer a bit of perspective??
How many people were negative towards you??
How many people posted in your birthday thread??

Please come back soon -- your insights ARE appreciated. And I venture to say most of us have enough brains to decide what WE want to believe and don't need to be "protected" from Life.....

Fellow Scorpio, sharer of birthdays...I am so sorry for what you are going through and I understand....

Bless you...

Sending love...and kindness.

It's hard sometimes for us Pisces-Mooners with our thin skins -- which I don't believe is a personality flaw -- when people attack our character, it really hurts.

But I want to say thanks for your insights concerning my ADHD son -- especially the benefits of your astro knowledge -- and to let you know that I will listen just as intently (if not more) to your experiences and knowledge, to the experiences of the cashier at the health food store, to the qigong master and acupuncturist I have seen, as I do to the board-certified licensed mainstream medical professionals. Some of them believe they are the be-all and end-all of medical knowledge and are outraged (threatened?) at alternative therapies.

We are losing a lot of good astrologers/members due to disagreements in the posts.

What we have to keep in mind is that not everyone will agree with our opinions and not to take things personally. I am guilty of doing so myself at times because sometimes, the topic hits too close to home. But please, we are all here because we want to share our passion for multitude of things astrology included (hopefully the primary motive), and all our past experiences will always tag along with it.

None of the posts here are really directed at you. Please don't take things personally. Noone is attacking anyone. Even the people who try to difuse open heated arguments get dragged into the attack that it becomes so outrageous.

This is so sad. I wish people would just chill...

Glaucus, please don't quit. Arguments are just that... Differences in opinions. You are still well liked by a lot of us who reads your posts with interest. It is not worth it to quit for a few who doesn't.

I just wanted to come out and show my appriciation for who you are. You've always struck me as intelligent, insightful and truly helpful. I am only a relative newbie here, but you have given me so much wonderful information - especially in regards to my son's auditory processing issues. I cannot thank you enough for that and I know you've done the same for many others on these boards.

My partner also has a pieces moon. I see him struggle daily with the hurt feelings caused by other people's misunderstandings. Being a pieces mooner yourself, I'm sure that you can sympathise with his compassionate nature. Like him, you come across as a truly good man, with a kind heart.

I don't want to trivialise how you are feeling, I just want to wish you my best. I really hope you feel comfortable enough to frequent these boards again soon, because I for one, enjoy listening to what you have to say. I only wish I could give back more but for now, my lack of expertise in astrology prevents this unfortunately.

Everyone needs to hear that they are apriciated sometimes, so don't ever be afraid to ask!

I know you are hurting... I think it is totally unfair...that you should be jumped on like you were.

You were only trying to help my son and I and of course any one else who happened upon the information and may just not post any response... even though it may have changed their life...You have touched so many with your insight on Astrology and the world of learning disorders/traits... I hope that you will not stay away long as I can't count the number of times a situation will arise and I will think back to something you posted that is relative... It works like that... We are all here to help one another understand... I personally consider you nothing less than a blessing...

Wonderful piece of scale-weighing there fellow Libran lovely Zala And it's absolutely true.

Glaucus I haven't really had the chance to get to know you and that's such a shame as you seem to be a very interesting and lovely chap. You have done something I greatly admire in anyone: you have had the grace to admit and apologise for something you feel you may have done wrong.

Now I haven't seen what the issue was/is so I don't know all the ins and outs but I feel that grace, humility and honesty should always be applauded, and so I applaud you Galucus. Please don't be too hard on yourself and come back soon as I'd love to get to know you.

I know you have been hurt here before. Sometimes LL goes through these things and there will always be people that don't like others for some reason or another. It is stupid and immature - and yet sometimes it is warranted (NOT in your case). I have never seen you as anything other than a gentleman. You make wonderful points and your interpretations will be missed.

______________ That said, I do hope that this does not turn into a battle where people that don't like others come to this thread and start playing martyr games of 'Oh I understand because I once called someone a "blank" and they yelled at me.. how dare them".

This is about Glaucus and what he has gone through. Someone did have it right though. We always have to remember that this is a public board with people from various backgrounds. Not 100% of the people will like what we say and that is to be expected. At the same time, we should be attacked.

I do hope you come back. I have recently met a guy who has Aspergers Syndrome and I have very little knowledge of this condition. I was going to ask you for info, either from yourself or any sites that you may know of where I could get a good understanding of the condition.

So many people on here seem to value your knowledge and opinions on things and so few have questioned them.

Remember negative energy is very easily soaked up by some of us but it can just as easile be squeezed out and replaced with positive.

I do hope you feel able to come back soon.
