what are signs that you are depressed?
Fairly often and being irritable is the biggest trait I display when depressed. My mood can swing by the minute depending on what exactly is going on. I'm a fairly efficient and ordered Libra male. I have back up plans to my back up plans and when things don't go just so, I usually get upset. The other thing that really pains me and makes me depressed is being flaked on. If you called/texted me two minutes before and said something came up (lie if need be) I'd be perfectly fine. But flake on me and then add on not even putting in the effort of a lame excuse instant depression. I'll worry the entire time and when you finally get back to me no excuse will fix it. I mean, in my view, it must be me or something I did.

I know Libras are sensitive and I've seen them hide feelings under a smile or better yet the poker face. On some levels they are worse than the Virgos and Cancers that I have dealt with in real life. I feel like I have to walk on eggshells and look carefully for any slight changes in demeaner.
It's honestly a test. The people who truly know us and care about us know when we're upset. Often enough it comes down to me not caring about the person who upset me enough to show that they got to me. If I care about you, but know you don't care as much as I do then you'll get my wrath. Ultimately though, the poker face as you put it, is our worst enemy. We don't show that things get to us merely keep score in our heads and eventually when we finally explode people tend to think it comes out of nowhere. When it actuality, we just hid it so well.
Generally, if you ask people I am an easy going guy who rarely has anything get to him. But underneath, lots and lots of things bother me it's just that I hide it very well. In my old line of work it was the biggest asset I had, but as far as life is concerned it ruins things.
that makes no sense. so... your poker face is your wrath? I understand that it's a defense mechanism but give others a chance to apologize. I will do something to hurt my Libra's feelings and the "poker face" seems like second nature. I think it's up and running before he even realizes that his feelings have been hurt.
Grinch, I doubt that you express your hurt feelings to loved ones just to maintain the illusion that your feelings are under control.

Just because we care, doesn't mean we can always read you. Speaking from experience, here. Close, recent hurts that seemed so 'out of the blue' yet I cared deeply, and paid a lot of attention, too. Could be to do with Moons. Could be to do with experience. Give the ones who don't understand a little help, if they're willing to learn. 0:-) You could do it diplomatically, too: "I don't really like that. It reminds me of [example]. I don't mind you doing it, but please not to me."

Poker face wouldn't be wrath from that description, no. Just that it hides the building of the pressure. And once pressure reaches its limit, it... bursts. Subconscious habits are the hardest to alter.
