Astrology And Short-Sightedness Redux

“Why would someone want to befriend you AND trick you/ betray you???!??”
That’s a good question and really I never figured out until now which is why I posted that. Now I may be wrong but this is what I think is real based on experience and feedback over the years.
A lot of people want to know me initially but many (most) change their mind within a few weeks or a month. In most cases I am just not what they thought I was and I take no offense to this. I hopefully give no offense either because I have an open door policy in all my relationships all the time, that is if you want out you will have no problems from me.
If someone does go beyond those first few weeks, I think most people wholly enjoy knowing me. I am interesting, I always have a surprise, I am generous with my energy, I don’t get in your business, I don’t take things personally, I can be trusted and just in general I am a low maintenance friend who can always be relied on to be there when you call… for anything and I mean anything at all.
This is the deal and most people not only like it, they like it a lot which is why it has always beat the hell out of me when they sell me… and they DO sell me.
Er… this has been going on for years. I remember discussing it with my sister 15 years ago so the pattern is well established and I don’t think she ever figured out “why” either.
But then I read about the afflicted Sun and it not only makes sense it is the only thing that makes sense. The person thinks they can have their cake and eat it too! It’s arrogance! It is arrogance that runs up against this Capricorn and winds up humbled I suppose. Because I don’t think there is anyone on this entire planet who would tell you they are glad they lost me as a friend.
See I am an authentically good person. I mean I am GOOD. And the more someone gets to know me the more they find this out in spite of… my mouth and various other sundries like bad grammar.
The good people are just glad to have found a kindred spirit and treat me really well. We become trusted friends for life but other types start pulling various shit because they know I am nice and they think that nice means naive.
If you look those two words up you will find they have nothing in common but anyway this happens all the time. I am sold for pittance… you’d be amazed.
Have you ever lost a friend (your fault) and regretted it?

Well people can’t claim ignorance where I am concerned because I am very overt.
For example I state plainly if you break in my house I will shoot you so when you break in my house and are shot… well come on.
I do have lines, I state them all the time so you see where arrogance comes in - the lines do not apply to this special person…
I had a man who used to break up with me a lot. I cycled with him for a long time but eventually told him, :”if you ever hand me my toothbrush (to take home from his house) I will never come back here again.
He handed me my toothbrush and was SHOCKED I never saw him again.
Er, excuse me but why?
I realize most people don’t mean what they say but I DO mean what I say and say it pretty succinctly to boot. If you know me for a year or two or three - for Godsakes this has been figured out!
Ah, that type of behavior. I’m interested in how they appeared at first before they broke ground rules. Were these types of people addicted to any substances in the past? Meth can really mess people up, even years after they’ve quit, to the point they can be oblivious about warnings.
As for me, I’m militantly private about a lot of things, and I feel practically violated when people become drama queens (I’d get more into it here, but I don’t feel comfortable about making a lot of my past public, I’m an introverted person, and besides, there are certain kind of people out there I know better than to associate myself with anymore. Most notably, addicts…).
I have missed some opportunities to “be a friend & have a friend” that I regret. For all these years I’ve known you E, and it seems we never talk directly, excepting when I crash, and I grieve sometimes for that loss.
Oh, I’m feeling weepy, freakin’ hormones are kicking my ass. And prolly the sky too.
If I ever lost a friend good riddance!
Yup. Elsa - is that your sun or their sun that is afflicted?
Yes, I’ve lost friendships that I regret loosing. They’ve been lost the same way everytime and it’s my fault. I allow myself to get spread too thin taking care of too many people/things and they get lost in the pile of obligations. I think warmly of them and miss them but do not have hard feelings towards them for them moving on with their life without me. I am trying to learn to balance my time and energy better so that I AM there for them. Sadly it’s been some of the same friends that I’ll drive across town in the middle of the night because they’re having a very bad night or have been harmed in some way and I”m the safe one.
I am trying to reduce my obligations and take better care of myself so I can hold onto and grow the close friendships I want to hold onto. I see the pattern, don’t get me wrong, and the pattern is, for the most part, broken. But the old history is still there.
Sorry, I didn’t see this question - had company last night…
No, my Sun is not afflicted, it’s theirs. My thought process was this:
-Dumping someone like me is short sighted - it is almost always regretted, I have been told by many.
-Researching what indicates “short sightedness” brought me to William Lilly’s work per the last post on this who attributed it to afflicted SOLAR energy.
-I considered that and decided it fit - perfectly.
-I resolved a question I have puzzled over for 15 years.
It is like storming off this blog. People who love it the most, get into a snit and storm off, generally cutting my throat in the process.
Was a good decision? Probably not. There is not a blog like this in this world and they liked it, remember?
Should they have stormed off and done things to alienate me??
What did they get out of it you think? 5 minutes of whatever?
Sorry, but I just think that’s stupid. And once they do it, it takes all this energy to maintain their stance as they all lurk you know… They lurk but motherfucking fuck if they would stoop . humble themselves and apologize.
I do have value as “the hated person” in some people’s lives I guess. But have I ever done anything worthy of “hate”?
::laughs::
It’s fuckin’ ridiculous.
Shortsighted? I don’t think they’re shortsighted, they’re just supremely selfish. Because think about it, how can someone NOT know they’re screwing you when you are telling them? They’re selfish is all. When they see a good person they know it, that’s exactly who they’re looking to exploit. If you finally get rid of ‘em they feign surprise and remorse, all the better to screw you again. They don’t want to let go of nice friends you know!
AnaBanana, that’s interesting and you are probably right in some cases but I think just due my own chart I am personally more apt to draw people who are less consciously devious.
As for “how can someone…” I see people doing things they don’t realize they are doing all the time.
“I see people doing things they don’t realize they are doing all the time”
Just a question, elsa, do you see this as 8th house/scorpio/pluto energy? I’ve heard my sister speak of this.
oops! that link doesn’t work for me. perhaps the word is “hatred” and not hated, in that link?
sorry it works. i think my computer is buggered. it has been doing very weird things lately.
Well, I’m glad. It’s good to give people the benefit of the doubt, because sometimes they don’t know. “consciously devious” is interesting - you think some people are unconsciously devious? Wonder if that’s a neptune function. My moon/neptune sits right on my descendant and I notice these things, draw them, and perhaps do it too 
AnaBanana, I think many, many people have no idea what they are doing and there are various manifestations (flavors) - Neptune / Jupiter / Pluto / Mercury… etc.

I’m not going to claim I’m a good or wonderful person, but I’ve never done that particular trick. I have, however, noticed that some of my ex-friends don’t or didn’t seem to understand that I’m not a forgiving person, period (two of which were Leos).
