Something that irritates me is when someone or some people go out with malicious intent, but are surprised and even assume victimcy when they are met with a challenge. I've seen that happen here in LL too - this user or that user's first comment in the thread is to challenge another and then when the other person rises to the challenge, the user is wounded and defensive as if they did no wrong.

I at least am ready for opposition when I go out and challenge what someone says.

I think in general I don't like people who aren't aware of themselves or their actions. With a whole whack of Scorpio, I by nature pay lots of attention to my surroundings - but tempered with an equal amount of air, I guess I don't blow it out of proportion that it affects my ability to stay at least level headed. In the heat of the moment, I still process what I say before I say it!

I dunno, some observations...why do you think people do that? I guess it's just they aren't self-aware enough...?

There are people who can't help but say exactly what's on their mind at the moment.

You say they aren't "self aware enough" maybe it's just them being comfortable with who they are and not caring what people think when they say whatever comes out of their mouth before thinking about it.

^Oh I know that, but I mean people who say negative or challenging stuff then feel hurt when someone says something negative or challenging back.

EDIT! Are you taking this personally? It's good that people are comfortable enough with themselves that they don't care about what people think, but my issue is that some people talk smack then when someone talks smack back, they feel attacked. Answer to that instead!

Well I happen to say really stupid things just because I can't help it lol and don't think twice about what I just said because I'm a honest person and like to be as real as possible. So if someone were to take whatever it is that I said offensively than I would greatly apologize because that's not what I mean at all.

My motto is if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen

See, that means you are self-aware! But if someone took it offensively...and you acted hurt and felt like you were being attacked, wouldn't that be unreasonable...?

Also "Stay out of the kitchen" is one of my favourite quotes!! I can take the heat, so the kitchen is no fear of mine.

If you are someone who can 'take it' more than you can 'dish it', you can survive better in this world.

I can take anything thrown to me. It's when someone is being dishonest or not taking what they themselves dish out, is what i can't handle.

I'll handle anything anyone dishes to me. Just don't dish out to me things that if i serve back to you, you can't handle.

I'm a Taurus, but have strong Scorpio elements and placements. Along with Leo ones. My chart is pretty balanced in all of the elements, but I am not foreign to the Scorpion's ways. They are a part of me and most of my besties throughout the years have been them. I'm am comfortable dueling with them if need be. And I always win.

I agree I think that's very unreasonable but there are people out there who just can't help being that way.

I'm going to disagree with you, so hear me out. I don't think that there's anything you can't help about yourself...I like to believe that you can always change for the better, or at least, change so you can be happier and have a happier life. So when someone is like that...I think they just need to learn how to take a step back sometimes...or at least how to see things from the other way, you know?

I dunno, but changing yourself isn't always easy, for sure. Life.

But what if they don't see it like that. I feel bad for people like its like you just want to slap some strength into them or something so I understand what you mean. But a lot of the times those people are the ones who are going through things and can't help but take everything a person says whether it be a positive or a negative personally even when it wasn't intended to be that way. Hope I'm making sense lol

Oh yes you are making sense! Everyone is different and you are right, just I guess the point of this thread was to complain a little.

As soon as I start to think I'm more level-headed, then something really upsets me.

I think some things are taken as an attack when it wasn't even the intention of the poster. I've had it happen to me, and I've felt that way at times about others. I have to watch myself at times, if I feel overly-sensitive.

Are we talking about the one who said you deserve to work at Walmart? I think she confused you for me 'cause I worked at Walmart when I was like 15...for six months...also yeah she did clash with me a few times over astro beliefs. I'm open minded but she always said things work how they are. B#tch please, you say that now but if this was when Uranus and beyond was introduced, you'd probably be against them too. :eyeroll:
