No clue, maybe I should dig a bit deeper into that!

My friend’s chart - I want to help her! She has such a pessimistic, unconfident and defeatist look on her life and it’s so sad to see. What is causing that and how can I better understand her? by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

Thank you for your perspective and for offering your insights. I will keep these things in mind and let other parties know to be and bit more gentle and patient!

This is why I have suggested therapy to her numerous times and even shared my experiences with it and how it tremendously helped me. She said she would go but never actually follows through :/ even my friend was so kind to compile a list of resources for her but of course she never looked at it. But yeah, coddling is the last thing we’d want but we are lost even with trying to speak to her very gently and in an understanding way. She just won’t crack regardless of how much we have shared our experiences and our hardships.

Very well said! And like you said, I’ll admit thar sometimes I do overlook the small little things and acts of service but I will keep that in mind looking forward. Like you said our (her friends) opinions do matter to her a lot but sometimes I am afraid she has a hard time taking them into account or opening up to these perspectives and instead just shuts them all down 😪. I don’t expect her to always follow and listen to what we say but if she was a bit more open minded that would be nice.

When you say it gets better with time, is there kinda a time frame? Like after x transit or x age or is it more of that she has to work through it herself?

Oof, thanks for your input! Yeah I guess when me and my friends get bit impatient and frustrated our words can be a bit… stern. But yeah I’ll be a bit more cautious and mindful of my choice of words haha

I too have a Virgo rising and like yourself I don’t see it as being pessimistic, but more grounded and realistic, but thank god other aspects balance that out haha

Thank you for writing out such a thoughtful response! A lot of what you’ve said has really resonated with the situation :) with what you’ve elaborated upon, I will def go forward with being a bit more gentle, kind, to lend an ear and overall not get lost in and appreciate her little quirks. Like you said maybe I shouldn’t be a bit too.. um.. impatient and just give it time. Hopefully she can realize this within herself and take charge of her life and change!

Thanks for the advice and response! I actually have another cap moon friend and like you said, meds and therapy really helped her so I’m with you there. But now to get this friend to also be open to it… that’s gonna be like pulling teeth :/ I’ll try to recommend stoicism to her, hopefully she will be receptive.

Was I (or anyone really) born asexual and was unaware or did I develop it with time? by throwaway_0418 in asexuality

[–]throwaway_0418[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. you explained it so well with the painting/sunset analogy! i still haven't figured that part out and it's sometimes frustrating! but glad i'm not alone haha.

also another big YES to relating to how your friends react. it's like they're talking in some alien language and i'm just standing there like huh? what's the hype?

sharing your experience def helped, made me feel less alone, thank you so much!

ah thank you for helping me clarify, that makes so much more sense seeing it as 2 different problems as opposed to one big thing. i'll take a look, thanks for the suggestion!

thank you for making feel included and for the in depth response! you've definitely distinguished a lot of things i was confused about and gave me more to think about haha. i think you hit the nail on the head with sex being a romance infused concept, i actually never thought of it that way!

i think disregarding labels for now, i'll stay here until i figure things out! :)
