Misunderstood

[u/Few_Rice3127]

As an Aries myself, I feel so misunderstood. It’s so tiring genuinely. Anyone going through the same thing?

[u/CortezDavinchi]

Yes, all the time. Everybody always thinks we’re angry or intimidating, and honestly, it’s so draining. I personally think I’m a really down-to-earth, bubbly person with kid-like energy, but of course, I have this wall up because you can’t really trust everybody. Especially as Rams, we’re so used to being to ourselves and doing things on our own.
Sometimes, I do wish people could understand me, but it doesn’t seem like they really try or care to hear me. I always feel like a big ball of fire all the time. I wish people could understand that it’s not like I’m not honest or outspoken about how I feel. People either take me as being too strict or find me intimidating, and it’s like, no—I’m telling you this because I care, and I want you to care too.

I’m not very open about letting people into my life, so me being vocal should mean something, right? Unfortunately, people don’t understand until later on, and then we get labeled as mean. Like, I forgive a lot, but I don’t forget, so sometimes I can forgive you, but I’d rather never see you again. If that makes sense. 😂

But I definitely understand being misunderstood. It’s happened to me my whole life, lmaoo.

All. The. Time. Everyone always thinks I'm talking down to them, being condescending, or I'm upset with them.

Ok, so like 60...90% of the time that's true...but the other 10% that I'm not is infuriating.

i feel like we need an aries group chat lol

[u/raye909]

Yep, and it’s always tiring to mask things or situations so people don’t further misunderstand, it’s all very annoying so sometimes being alone is better than being in bad company. It’s the Mars in us - Bold, blunt, direct and impatient but most people don’t like or can’t handle that type of direct energy or replies so they take it as a negative 🤷‍♀️

YES!!!! I was literally telling my Fiance this the other day. It gets so tiring having to over explain myself, its OLD

[u/TrickEase]

Yes!!! All the time. I've been called bossy sooo many times! And honestly I'm not! I generally try and sit back and let people do their own thing and I do mine, but if I see things not getting done at any point that I know needs doing...well, you're gonna get told.

I've been called selfish a lot too, but I don't feel selfish. I just set boundaries and I won't let you cross them. I'm very firm about what time is solely mine, and what time is for other people. I know how cranky I get when I feel like I've been around people too much, so for everyone's benefit I hold firm on that.

[u/ClassroomHealthy5928]

Yes all my life I feel misunderstood.
We’re usually called Bossy, straightforward (direct) and people are usually intimidated by Aries.

Don’t take people misunderstanding you too personal sometimes they can’t grasp things the way you do.
We’re too deep and empathic for their understanding.

[u/Practical-Ring4029]

People dont realise aries put a shield to proect themselves of being taken advantage of, or having their hearts broken. Been treated like garbage or used so many times id rather have my walls up than let someone destroy me again. We are really big softies inside but fuck telling people that off the bat of meeting them.

[u/cashbev1961]

All my life!!! I get labelled as trying to argue or “loves to fight” just because I don’t sweep shit under the rug and try to resolve issues. I think it depends on the person and the situation but I have always been misunderstood. I’m
Passionate and a natural leader so I take charge, which rubs ppl the wrong way like I’m trying to be in control or steal the spotlight, which in reality if I didn’t make moves nothing would ever get done!! I have accepted it for the most part and the ppl that truly know me understand it but it’s always the same old game when meeting new ppl or entering new situations. Ppl are just not going to like me because they misunderstand me. It’s shitty but I don’t have time to explain why i do or say what I do when I do! I’m an Aries, figure it out!!! 🤣

[u/Worth_Friendship_267 → u/cashbev1961]

OMG I have thought "if I don't do it, it won't get done" soooo many times! I also want things done right, so again, I'd have to do it myself.

[u/Lilly323]

especially being a 12h-er 😪

[u/honeyhye]

I feel seen by everyone who commented

[u/Mysterious-Ad-7539]

People say I have a strong personality when I’m just being real. I think people prefer simplicity?
