You don't have to be Wiccan to be familiar with Zodiacs and horoscopes. Based on when you were born you fall under certain signs, with the exceptions of those born on cusps, and that is supposed to tell you about the personality of that person. Obviously, people are far too complex to be boxed into one of twelve zodiac signs, but I've always felt that zodiacs speak true to some degree. There's a lot I see in myself of the description of a Gemini: I'm a jack of all trades yet master of none, I hold the "multi personality" like complex that the twin sign naturally has, my mood can potentially change really quick, and I'm definitely the kind of person that uses humor as a coping devise. But there's one really big element to the Gemini, something that you see in every description no matter where you go, that I feel like I lack: communication. Every since I was a preteen I've considered myself to be the quiet type and the thought of socializing with people I don't know terrifies me. Without going into a long list of examples I tend to avoid talking to people as much as possible: texting and the internet are saviors to me.
I think a lot of the reason I hate talking to people face to face is because it requires eye contact with strangers, and that for some reason bugs me. Even when dealing with customers at my job I can only look people in the eyes for a couple of seconds before I feel naked. Maybe it's like the Adam and Eve story: When I'm with people I don't know that well I'm aware of how naked I am, but if I'm talking to friends or family I don't take notice of being in my birthday suit.
Going off topic. I mean, if it were a minor trait of being a Gemini I probably wouldn't be as bothered by it, but because communication and socializing are such a major part of who a Gemini is I feel like I'm failing to live up to my zodiac sign. If that weren't bad enough, my Chinese zodiac sign ALSO says I should be a great communicator. Are the two just supposed to cancel each other out or am I supposed to be extremely good at communicating? I hope it's the first because I'd rather hear that than be a failure of a Gemini, because I love being a Gemini. It's so funny that I am one considering how much my mom wanted twins when she was pregnant with me (she wanted two kids but to only do labor once. Smart). I feel like I'm so in tuned with every other aspect of it besides the communication department, and again that is so huge with Gemini's
Does anyone out there get something like this with their signs?
If zodiacs aren't your thing, then please don't bother answering, because I don't want to hear anything along the lines of "It's just a horoscope. You're being stupid," What if every time you thanked God for something someone told you, "Actually ____ did that. Don't be an idiot," Respect my beliefs and I'll respect yours.
I feel the same way too. When i was young my parents were very strict and we weren't allowed to express ourselfs. Because of this, I feel I dont have a strong voice or opinion where I can relate to people. I believe it has to do with being secure with yourself as well. When you're comfortable in your own skin you feel ok to bare your soul to others. Their opinion of you wont hold any power or value over you.

ReplyDeleteJust live life and if thats the only concern then just move on with it . Who knows, maybe in a past life or something you were not the same zodiac . For all we know we could be in a bkg dream we never wake uo from . Thats just the mystery of life . So live it for the moment and be proud of who you are because everyone is here for a reason and everyrhing that is hapoening to you and everyone els is for a reason meant to explore . If any of that makes sense
ReplyDeleteI am actually good at talking to people when they click or I get comftorable with them, but I am still bad at commnicating sometimes in the way that people don't understand my perspective when I talk. Like once someone told me that they felt someyhing was going wrong in their life and I tried to support them by giving them advice, but then they got mad and were like "as if I didn't know any of that stop belittling me etc" but I didn mean it in th way to belittle them or tell them that they didnt know any of the stuff. I saw it through the perspective like if I told someone there was a broken glass in front of them to avoid them stepping on it, she saw it through the perspective that I felt she didn't understand and I felt she was stupid, but it wasn't that, it was that I was unsure if she knew it or not. I don't know this happens alot in my family where people dont seem to get my point , or I dont get their point, but I try to understand them and then put my imput. It is weird. I want to be a better gemeni and master my communication skills, I am hoping to get better at them and I believe they will eventually sjnce I am a gemeni but I do not know for sure. As for everyone else in the comments here, I think it is normal for you guys to be really shy and to yourself, because that is me too, expept for some people I magically click and get along with and everything. So yeah I think you guys just got to wait for a person to click, it happens very rarely for me and it may for you too, just be patient( you don't have to this is all my advice and youguys may have this knowledge already but I am just sharing my perspective just in case) but yeah also maybe take risks, you do you guys, love and peace to all gemenis and everyone else
ReplyDeleteI have felt that people do not take me seriously and also people around me are pretending as they are but they talk shit when i am not around I do not know the exact reason i think it is because of my communication skills
ReplyDeleteI realize I’m resurrecting a dead post, but I resonate with every part of this. Down to the part where my mom also wanted twins when she was pregnant with me. I feel so understood.
