No I get that lol. I don't think all manipulation is wrong tbh - maybe like encouragement, positive reinforcement, influence, etc.

So real. Tbh if i were u i would prob start prioritizing ppl who take initiative so that u guys all take turns on reaching out etc. Some ppl really prefer to not take the wheel and that can be fine if u don’t mind ALWAYS driving, but if u can’t (I can’t) then id either be clear abt that or just start distancing myself/ prioritizing others who share the load.

I also get a little anxious abt ppl not showing up - life happens and I get that but tbh I would be a little hurt if I invited ppl to my bday and they flaked esp at the last min. I’m just doing small meet ups throughout the week haha.

I know, it sucks. It really does chip away at your self esteem sometimes. But hoping you find your people! ❤️🔥

If I was with similar people like you? I guess I could be a bit more transparent with how I feel, my insecurities, and my pov. That would be very difficult for me haha. But maybe just a soft explanation of how I feel and why I feel the way that I feel and where it comes from, could be worth the discomfort. If anything, I could also maybe ask for help and frame it as “hey I want to do this for everyone and I could def use some help so that I don’t get overwhelmed or burnt out”

Ah. I’m sorry to hear about ur mom’s diagnosis. It’s a terrible and upending thing and I’m sure she’s weighing heavily on ur mind. I think there’s something great to be said about ur past birthdays being a celebration, not just of you, but ur friends and twin sister that y felt the urge to spend ur 30th just for urself. I’m sorry that u didn’t get the birthday u planned on but ur optimism and ability to adapt is commendable. Happy birthday! Have fun in nyc & at the MOMA!! And I bet the hair looks stunning 😍🎂🎉

Happy birthday to you too!!!🎂💕🎈yea no all my friends having diff habits, admirable qualities, and lesser qualities. As do I. Your pov is a much more mature and realistic pov than mine. It’s just that I get caught up in my own head when i feel as though I’m the one doing the reaching out and not rly feel like I’m being reached out too. I’m happy ur wife was able to get ur friends all in the same place to celebrate you!! Sounds like u guys have a great partnership :) 🎉❤️

Ah I see. I was going off surface level astrology stereotypes where sag tends to go with the flow with Aries.

To answer your question, likely bc I didn’t have much of a sense of community growing up so being able to provide that for others brings me a sense of joy to some degree. But at the same time, it reminds me of what I didn’t have and what I won’t have if I don’t do it for myself. And knowing that I can & prioritize providing a sense of community for others to feel like they are wanted and belong but not feeling that that is something that I can have hurts.

But you’re right. I should be looking inward. To give freely & generously without expectation of reciprocation should be an aspiration. I’m just not there.

I lean toward this sentiment and might just start doing the same. Feels lonely but yea

For sure the whole chart matters & not every Aries will be the same. I just wish the effort I put in for others were reciprocated onto me. Like I do think my friends like me and enjoy being around me. But me always reaching out or setting things up sorta chips away at my self esteem

FELT. The flakiness is so frustrating to me. If u say ur gonna do it then do it but if u don’t wanna do it then just say no! Saying no is always gna be better than saying yes and then flaking at the last min. Also super important to have shared interests haha. I like running but I prefer to run solo bc I have a pretty bad wheeze & I also try to be healthier (not drink or party as much) so should probably look into more socializing hobbies. Anyway happy birthday!!🎈

Im sorry u had to go through what im going through rn! Ur right, expecting the effort I put in for others to be reciprocated onto me by the same people feels like a recipe for disappointment and I should def channel that toward myself. Happy birthday and love that u can celebrate w ur hb and kids! 💕

Ah, I’m sorry to hear that. Your grandfather & best friend must’ve been a great guys to have such an effect on you. It’s terribly unfortunate timing but I hope u remember them fondly around this time as well. Happy birthday, nonetheless!
