My grandma is a Sag with Pisces rising and her mantra is: "Think positive, don't think negative it's not worth it." She tends to ignore people aren't happy-go-lucky. She is always laughing.

My one friend has Sag venus, mars and merc. She is always in a great mood even when she's dealing with a lot of bad stuff. She also doesn't like to be around solemn, humorless people.

My other friend is a Pisces sun, moon and merc. While she acknowledges negative emotions she doesn't allow them to impede on her happiness. Everything is just "la la la" to her.

I have a Sag rising and neptune in the 1st and while I go through depressive spells, I always bounce back. Humor and laughter is the best!

I can pretty much relate to that (Sag stellium here). But that's different from having a "hard time listening to harsh truths" or "not wanting to hear anything negative at all." I'm the one who has to watch my own mouth so as to not disturb the people around me. And most people say I'm too cynical (despite that the majority of times I'm wrong it's because I'm not cynical enough!), though I'm the one who will find a way to laugh about it. Just because I'm not crying in my cups about the unfairness of life doesn't mean I'm unaware of it. Humor is a coping skill for me.

I also remain close to a friend who has sunk deep into depression, and I worry a lot about her. But it's possible had I not met her until after she was all chronically depressed that I might've not gotten close to her in the first place, however. I miss those days that she and I pulled some major pranks together and she was still all idealistic and hopeful about the future. I plan to be her friend to the end, but I fear that her end will be much sooner than my own with all the drinking she does.

ETA: I can talk about things like how common sexual abuse and pedophilia is in a calm manner (I recognize it sucks, but I don't get all distressed talking about reality as I've gotten used to it long ago):

That's just an example of things I can talk about which can upset people greatly. But it's important to note that I don't rant or cry over it. Perhaps my slogan in life is, "Despite this, I remain optimistic."

The OP sounds like they're talking about one person who probably has both so why not blend it all together into one generalization?

It's possible some people are just envious or jealous of a quality you have. I find that some people who are envious/jealous of others withhold compliments sometimes.

As for me, I'm a Moon square Pluto child, Chiron in Cancer in the 4th house.

It did turn out that was the case with one of my friends, I think. I would never have been able to understand what quality until she came to me in a panic asking me to help arrange her home as she had lots of guests for a party due and unbeknown to me had quite a complex to do with designing / arty things. I found it so endearing that she revealed that vulnerability to me and it had made sense of the negativity before that I burst into tears, I understood at lot then. She's sag sun/ Taurus moon and I'm Taurus sun / sag moon so it goes both ways that we wish to activate that inner quality that the other has outwardly.

Thank you everyone for your replies, I enjoyed reading them, they are all so helpful.

I thought about this topic because the other week when I was talking to a sag friend, we mentioned astrology and from his year and knowing him I guesstimated A Pluto conjunction and Scorpio placements. When I started to tell him how Pluto can alter some of the lighter, more free qualities of sag he got very uncomfortable and cut me off, just saying "jeeze ok" and I got the hint and didn't explain further. This lead me to think about my grandmother, who is also a sag, and lately everytime my dad goes over to visit (he's heavy Virgo, prominent Saturn) hell talk non stop about conspericy theories, aliens and niburo, which is very stressful to my grandmother and she made a rule now that only "positive" conversations can be discussed as to not disrupt the overall flow of the day which ****** my dad off because he doesn't see it as "negative" but as "truth" and it's upsetting to him that my grandparents would rather live "a happy yet oblivious"life than to be accepting of his idea of the "truth" and to feel possibly uncomfortable from it. he has strong Virgo, also a Pluto conjunction to the ASC, with Mars also placed 1st, he has a really hard time accepting that some people would rather just not here some of the harsh realities he likes to share, he sees it as "knowledge" and completely disassociates any feelings to his thoughts, which I guess borders on him not even realizing how cynical he can be.

I can relate too with Pisces/Neptune energy and seeing the positive traits they want to see in situations/people, I know a few Pisces mooners who due to their extreme sensitivity have a really hard time hearing cold, dry words of explanation, it's almost handled defensively from my observations because the feelings are so removed.

When you put it like that, I am like that especially when I've a new business idea. Prefacing every business idea pitch with 'I know it sounds unrealistic but ..' Is starting to echo to even me. I know everything is so ethereal at that stage and I'm trying to make a raft to carry the inspiration, I don't want it to be anchored before it's got sails.

Sag stellium here, sextile to sun and the stellium with it. I have to be positive FOR OTHER PEOPLE (not just LL). But just because I'm not saying it doesn't mean I'm not thinking it. But just cause I'm thinking it doesn't mean I'm rending my garments over it, either, the way many others would.
