We all have done that at some point.. It's a human thing. Sometimes comes in phases.Simple projection really.. When we see ourselves in a bad light we also see the same in others. We all have character flaws, when we can accept ourselves without guilt we can accept others too. When you feel a need to modify your behavior to fit a certain standard you aren't always being true to yourself and that can bring negativity in the form of criticism. It really is a double edge sword because sometimes ones behavior is simply unacceptable to others, When you think WHY ARE THEY LIKE THAT.. WHY ARE THEY SO WEIRD. that's because they are being true to themselves either you take it or leave it. No point in wasting your time pondering over they are so messed up to you. IP: Logged |

I don't want you think that I am personally attacking you. Because I genuinely like you asked a question and I want to help you the best way I can and that is getting a bit personal..IMO You are like the most politically correct person on this forum. You try and fit in this perfect ideal mold. I think i've said before everything you said is correct, morally. You literally have no faults as far as we know.... I would normally think you choose not share you darkside and demons with others but I have noted a bit of self righteousness from you. So it is hard for you not to accept others who behave in this certain standard you have set for yourself. I think with AG for example he probably has an easier time accepting others because he is very OKAY with his own dark side. He is actually quite comfortable sharing it on public forums. Moon opposite Pluto? I think thats why I don't hate him even though his ideas conflict with mine. I'm not judging you because we all have some standards is mine as strict as yours? LOL definitely not. Standards make the world go round lol!! Complete chaos obviously not good, there need to be a balance, really. No one is perfect and people are ******** lol. To reiterate the thoughts in the previous post there might be traits about yourself that do not fit your standard and you may try and correct them. There is nothing wrong with trying to improve yourself. I truly believe there are basic traits about us we can not change, we can bring this back to astrology. As long as someone does not harm others then we should accept them because are we are not different. If their mindset conflicts who says you have to deal with them... but I usually try.. Recently someone close to me did something unforgivable. Its a mistake that is common but this mistake really changes everything, my opinion about them has changed two. They aren't the same person.. but I realized I'm really not that different, Im not a saint either and I should just forgive as best as I can. So now we will see the limit of my optimism...

LOL i just realized. What if this is your dark side 0__0 self righteousness ... MIND BLOWN..... No one is perfect.. and this is your flaw..Do you have any Jupiter-Virgo energy because I never got that vibe from you? Maybe you just accept your need for perfection.. THIS IS YOUR DEMON!! For me the positive is I'm usually accepting and non judgmental. But whole other heap of negative things......... but this thread is not about meee. IP: Logged |

It's all in yourself. When you see the best in yourself then you're able to see it in others. If you can't tell by now lol I'm extremely optimistic and really try to be as positive as I can be. I don't like to sit and dwell on the negative even if it's irritating and hard to ignore. If anyone knows what it's like to be the opposite of that I think it'd be me. I've come a long way and I'm telling you the key to it all is yourself ❤️IP: Logged |

Remind yourself (or realize) how we are all the same at the core. Find the beauty in others seeming flaws and dont be too quick to judge them or the path they are on. IP: Logged |

Thanks for all the replies!!T - I guess I'm cynical because I do realise we are all the same but then it upsets me that we are also the same when it comes to the negative things. Kero - LOL@You trying to figure out my dark side. I don't think self-righteousness fits just because I don't feel like I am better than anyone else. I am definitely moralistic though - and self-righteous can mean moralistic.. but it also has the connotation that the person gets on a 'high horse' by being self-righteous, which I don't. When I am critical of something .. my criticism is more so driven by emotion, rather than ego or an intellectualised standard. My Jupiter is in Pisces, near my MC (and trine Pluto). I don't do all that well with Virgo energy, just because they are much more detached. quote: You literally have no faults as far as we know.... I would normally think you choose not share you darkside and demons with others
This is true ^.. I never really thought about this before.. but I often don't share my problems or any negativity in my life or my dark-side with others online or offline. This is has no connection with the way I want to be 'seen' though. I feel like I can solve my own issues.. based on past experience.. I can deal with most things on my own and I'm happy with that. Usually when I've shared problems - either people cry with me (which is sweet) but I feel like it simply emphasises the problem and makes things worse.. or they actively try to get involved in resolving the problems in my life (as opposed to just giving me advice). On the other hand - I also like seeing people happy.. Maybe this is a typical fire sign thing. I have a drive to entertain the people around me and generally put them in a good mood. It would bother me to feel like I 'depressed' them and didn't inspire them. Does that make sense? quote: To reiterate the thoughts in the previous post there might be traits about yourself that do not fit your standard and you may try and correct them.

To be honest - I am accepting of most personality traits and behaviour that is not aimed at hurting others. My biggest problem is actually directly related to 'hurting others'. I am most judgmental of behaviour I see as inconsiderate, mainly when it is intentional. I understand what you are saying though.. about basic traits we cannot change. I guess it's about seeing the big picture with everyone and not honing down on their vices. quote: Because I genuinely like you asked a question and I want to help you the best way I can and that is getting a bit personal..
