I am a sag girl. A new friend of mine is Pisces, and I can’t quite understand her sometimes. Have every limited experience with this sign. Anyway, I have noticed that she tends to be very snappy and bitchy with me. Not all the time, but it happens.

She is about eight years older than me, but some of her abrupt counter-comments are quite juvenile. She alternates this with being very nice and sweet. We share a good bond, she knows a lot of things about me than no one else knows and vice versa. I think she does value me as much as I do her. She can be quite amazing.

I usually laugh her comments off, but have called her on it in private after a particularly weird email she threw at me, and she was stunned, apologetic and sounded hurt even. She actually admitted that she can be quite difficult and her husband is the only one who can handle her attitude.

She is very well liked and respected and her speaking her mind is one of the things I respect about her, but am nevertheless confused by her behavior. She also snaps at other people, I have noticed, but seems not as abruptly as she does with me.

I value this friendship, and would appreciate any feedback regarding how I can handle her without ruining our friendship.

I have to add, that I am in a time in my life when I am going through some emotionally tough times and am VERY sensitive, so maybe her comments are exaggerated in my mind. I know that a couple of months ago when I felt better in my skin, her comments seemed laughable to me, and I will quickly shut her up whereas now I dwell on some of the things she has said.

Or maybe it’s not the comments themselves, but what I perceive to be the motivation behind them. Regardless of my emotional state, however, there is no doubt she is being difficult.

Anyway, I would appreciate any insight on Pisces girls.

p.s. I guess these situations are exactly why I used to prefer to hang out with guys. Which comes with its own set of complications and drama, I know. : ))))

I know plenty of Piscean people. To generalise amongst all of them they tend to be people who avoid confrontation. There is one who speaks her mind and can be a little abrupt. She is O.K, but she can be quite sharp. I can see how if you got close that kind of attitude could be upsetting. It's her husband who's my friend. I couldn't imagine him saying anything cutting or unkind. He's Pisces too, but born in a different year.
