They are often very serious about being not-serious lol... so I'm not sure. I find it endearing though because I am *so intense* about everything. ------------------ "Most people would rather be sheep and have company than stand out on their own with antlers on." — Tori Amos IP: Logged |

I know a Gemini girl that hates being the odd one out. For example if me and a couple of other people know a song and she doesn't, she'll either try to change the song to one she knows or talk thru the whole thing.She's always bragging, but I think that's cuz her Mercury is in Taurus. The bragging part I seriously hate because I feel like she's always trying to prove something or impress someone. I also feel like she's trying one up me. It's pretty exhausting, but I just let her be her like, "Mmhmm, uh huh...that's interesting". IP: Logged |

What I mean by taking them seriously is how do I know when a Gemini is done trying to impress people or show off or convince people that they know everything? How do I know when a Gemini is sincere rather than just saying or doing something for the attention or just saying things to make things interesting? IP: Logged |

By "asking him/her". If you're someone with whom a Gemini can talk in private - no matter what you ask - he/she will answer "instinctively". A Gemini - might be impossible to read, though it's easier to find out what's in his mind by simply - asking him. Depends what kind of Gemini he is (something that could be reflected by the rest of his chart) - if he's truthful to himself, he'll give you a straightforward answer - if he's the shallow kind - his answer will reflect that (might treat a serious answer with sarcasm) and if he's dealing with blockages or moments of confusion - he'll have a hard time saying something.

I agree. If you are looking for consistency then all you can really count on is the knowledge that Gemini is likely going disappoint. Honestly, I'm not sure if that says more about the Gemini or the person with expectations though. Accepting someone into your life means accepting their positive and negative traits. For me, some Geminis are bearable in short bursts. The others I don't waste my time with. It may sound harsh, but there are consequences for being rude/mean to others and I have too much self respect to subject myself to the games/issues of some Geminis. For example - My step father is a Gemini and feels I am in some way his competition. When my mother or nieces/nephew are around he does whatever he can to interfere with us having time with each other. When we do have time together he responds by taking them away for several days and making them unavailable to me, just to feel like they love him more than me. I realize that no matter what, this is just his insecurity. When he is not being a jealous prick, he can actually be enjoyable. So I ignore him when he turns into a d0uche and enjoy him when he is back to playing the bearable twin. My Gemini sister is another who can be really great, but her mood swings throughout the day and if you have to be around her for more than 5 hours, you learn to dislike her quickly. She likes to make up drama that forces people to beg for her forgiveness, even when they haven't done anything wrong. I had a Gemini best friend who was very fun to hang out with, but after 15 years of friendship she developed a crush on my boyfriend and stole him. When confronted, she had no regret and didn't understand why I was so hurt. I had another Gemini best friend who liked to find unavailable guys and then tell me they had informed him they were interested in me. He knew that my Virgo Moon would keep me from just throwing myself at these guys so he got his kicks watching me pursue unrequited love and sending me back in when I voiced an intuitive objection. In my experience Gemini may be the sign of communication, but they are still a very self-centered sign. Even the Geminis I know with water influences are too absorbed in their own games to even notice/respect the feelings/validity of others. My suggestion is to learn their time frame. Discover when the evil twin comes out and vanish when that time comes. Eventually it will go away and the Gemini will be enjoyable again. The absence will also help to keep them from growing bored of you.

Im reading the 7Habits of Highly effective people and I feel strongly of this quote, "It is character that communicates most eloquently. As Emerson once put it, 'what you are shouts so loudly in my ears I cannot hear what you say."

There's always exceptions though. I only know one person who is the 'typical' Gemini but the rest did not fit the crazy Gemini description. I think the moon sign reeeeeaaallllly makes a difference in stabilizing the Gemini. My BF is a Gemini with Moon in Capricorn, Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Cancer, AND Aries Rising. I thought he would be the stereotypical Gemini, especially with the fire rising but he's more mentally stable then me (I'm a Aquarius sun, Lunar Gemini with Mars in Gemini). The one thing I will comment though is that every Gemini I've met ALWAYS had one or both of the following traits: -Not being on time -Cancelling plans or flaking Also, they analyze/criticize the hell out of people too much and they think they have that person figured out already before actually getting to know them.

Ok first, calm the hell down. Ii have no problem but you clearly do. wasnt being rude so u shouldnt either. second of all, this isnt a " you did so i should too" game. If I didnt have a reason for asking u this, I wouldnt have. If you're so cranky because I asked you this nicely then keep it!
