I never remember the bad things people do to me..

I don't cry much. It takes alot for me to cry, I would need alot of time to bring on the tears because more than likely I am testing my tear ducts rather than really being sad

If I am stressed or upset I can talk about it rather than sook about it and do nothing. My gemini moon is a solution pro.

I cry when I watch those sad ridiculous videos on facebook that go around though so I avoid them. If I pay attention I am likely to get upset but that is very rare... God some of them are depressing!!

As long as I distract myself I'll be fine! The worst thing for me is being alone when dealing with intense emotions. I need to be with people so I can talk about it and rationalize everything into oblivion.

This is one of those times when it would be easier for me to have someone I know away from the boards, on here... I'm weird in that I can be a total romantic and softy (as Gypsee pointed out on another forum here ), but I'm also very practical when it comes to certain things.

And, yes: distracting me is good, although when sad or depressed, I need that time to cry it all out... it's just a problem when I need to do that *every day*. Late last year, I apologized to my mother, and told her if my mood was as low the next day, I would keep to myself. She said, "No, you come and find me, and we'll talk it out, then change the subject, laugh and you'll feel better." I really do need to get out more, but I also love my alone time.

Sorry, I'm all over the place - I haven't been feeling well, and ended up in and out of sleep for fourteen hours. Ugh. If DD's out there, I'll try to remember to respond to you in the Venus thread later.

Sometimes I like a good debate aka argument

I do need to cry it out, but there comes a point where I need to be with people and talk about it.

I am quite comfortable with emotions or facing them. I spend some time a day to evaluate where I am emotionally, just to make sure that I am not storing some negative emotions, etc.

BUT...

I get uncomfortable with being emotional with people. I don't do that whole crying together and that whole thing of having Cleenex moments with my girls and such. I also believe that when two people are involved, if one is crying and being all hyper emotional, the other must be the opposite of that to balance things out. I think I would feel like things are going haywire if everybody around me, including myself, started being emotional and crazy.

For example, if I am crying, and someone starts crying because I am crying, it makes me stop crying.

I am cool with facing emotions privately.

" think the problem with Aquarius Moon is that it really does try to intellectualise the emotions. There's the mental thing that's ticking away telling you how you think you should behave or react rather than just feeling what's actually there.

Aqua Moon is also like this odd switch, I've found. There are times when I've been in highly emotional situations and I've just said to myself "I can distance from this" and just do. It's very strange. And, I really do think that despite the Air, Aquarius is actually a very emotional sign. That's my experience with Aqua influenced people "

Teasel,

can`t wait for your replies.

Oh btw I am always out there. Does that mean I am the truth?

I just came back, because I thought about how I used to get lost in drawing and painting. If I was extremely upset and nothing else was helping (or I had no good distractions), focusing on a painting, and getting lost in it - however bad it turned out - until I was exhausted and ready to sleep, did the trick.

I agree with PeaceAngel 100%
I try very hard to intellectualize my emotions.
I hate to let them just run wild. I like to keep them structured so to speak. I'm sure that has something to do with my Moon being in the 10th house and sextile to Saturn (in Capricorn) I can verbalize them very well too. (Logical air sign like Aquarius)

When I'm hit with an emotional crises, I act very indifferent. Some people have accused me of not caring but it's not true at all. I care, very much in fact. I just hate to let my emotions run freely.

I can cry in front of others and express my emotions, I don't like to, but I will if I'm pushed to the edge.

Same for me, with Moon in the 3rd & Neptune on the 3rd/4th house cusp.
