What do air signs think of water signs

Just wondering and can you give some past experiences with water signs
The truth about water signs according to moi!
They worry far too much. They also dig to deep and see everything as a slight. It is almost like they are looking to cause problems. No need for all the fuss. People tick each other off occasionally ... you can still love a person, they are just annoyed or having a bad day. Water signs seem to miss this. They also tend to cling, even as friends.
They are great friends, though, if a little angst ridden. I have never had one as a romantic partner. I usually get too frustrated with their mooning about. The best of intentions mean little when not followed with action.

My experience were absoultely the opposite.
I think air signs can be somewhat unemotional and that bothers me cause i like feeling and i am very intouch with my feelings
I am pretty aloof, but that doesn't mean I am out of touch with my emotions. I just try not to let them rule me, which is hard.
I also get really uncomfortable with other people's emotions. It makes me itchy.
No because they are personal. It can feel like forced intimacy if I don't know the person well. It throws the power balance off.
Emotions are private and should only be shared with the "inner" circle.
water signs are cool...i usually get along best with Pisces....Cancers can be a bit much but they are cool people.... and Scorpios are a case by case basis for me.....
I have Mercury in Cancer so i think that lets me communicate with them pretty well which helps me get along w/them easily....i understand their approach to things in a general way, but it does seem that their emotions do a number on them.....i can't really relate to that.. .they are loyal friends as long as u respect them on their terms...
Being a water sign myself i feel that most things are centered by emotion like it revolves around it. It is hard to communicate with air signs because they are so aloof.
water signs always get mad at me all the time. i cant please them or make them happy, for some reason.
plus, i am uncomfortable with a lot of drama and large displays of emotion, which water signs seem to be comfortable with.
Most things are centered by thought. Thoughts can be controlled. Thought controls emotion. Thus emotion can be controlled.
I work with a bunch of libras. Whenever something bad happens and there is an emotional outpour, like someones father dies, we all stand around with big eyes, and shift around uncomfortably, trying to back away from the scene, without looking like we are backing away. I am sure it looks hilarious from the outside.

I'm always getting mad at people who don't know what they want. I found this a small bit of problem for Air signs. They tend to detach from problem and hide their positions and thought about the situation. When they do this, nobody can know what's going on. That the biggest reason why I do get mad at Air signs.
Second, neither do I like lots of drama, but large displays of emotion should be defined first, because it could be both used for bad (drama) and good (fun). I like to show some behaviours out of emotions (like biting someone or cracking a joke) which is not that bad at all. lol.
But as I said, I don't like mental mastrubations incited by drama queens and kings. I tend to hunt their far arses and kick them.
To solve a problem you need to detach from it. You need to be able to walk around the problem. Feelings are fleeting things. They change in every moment. You can't use emotions to base important decisions on. They have to be taken into account yes, but they are a factor in the equation not the equation itself.
By hunting out the drama, you are feeding out the drama and are attracted to it ... hence, you keep the drama going.

mental masturbations...

Little sparrow, that sounds familiar! i have been in that situation..and it;s not that i dont feel sympathy or i am not empathetic towards others, because i am..it's just that i am not very good at displaying that.
" By hunting out the drama, you are feeding out the drama and are attracted to it ... hence, you keep the drama going."
Perhaps. But I rather do it guite annoyingly which makes those people think twise before going oh lala mambo jambo thing again. Perhaps it does worth it? Winking
wow Bread....in all seriousness, that was pretty insightful...
I liked what you had to say DB it was very well written
Which is why I said emotions should be considered but they are only part of the equation not the equation themselves. Winking
Emotions can be misleading. Emotions can be wrong.
Cognitive therapy is all about learning to control your mood by controlling your thoughts.
If you are a behaviorist, you believe their is a reason why people choose to act unhappy or happy; there is some type of reward. Often people who are depressed are acting out and trying to hurt someone for hurting them. We sabotage ourselves, to seek revenge on others.
I propose that even "being crazy" at some point, is a choice. Perhaps you need to walk up to the line and stand in it, to know the truth of it.
Your thoughts become ingrained patterns in the brain. If you actively change your thoughts, you change your pattern.
Take a few moments to do this:
Remember the happiest moment in your life .... Picture it, see it, touch it in your mind.

now remember your saddest ...
didn't your mood change?
There is no wrong or right. We have moved from pisces to aquarius. Notice how people now speak so much more about the power of intention and thought. I wonder if this change means the power of our thoughts now dictate our reality more than the power of our emotions. just musing a little.
It is important to control one's own thoughts and it is hard sometimes, but necessary..sometimes i test myself to see my bodily reactions when i am thinking about something negative vs. something positive. What a difference! I consciously control my thoughts each day in that i dont allow self-defeating talk or self-pitying thoughts in my head. I always make sure that I am saying nice things to myself. SOunds corny, but it is very effective
There are a number of reasons why I disagree with you Bread, but two late nights in a row are making it difficult for me to respond at the moment. I do promise our debate is not finished, merely postponed.

I think can be a little "blind" as to what is truly what in front of them so I think the word that they use "detached" is quite unrealistic if you know what i mean
>>>>>
I guess its true. I have been doing weird experiments with myself for quite sometime. Learning to quiten my mind.
Avoid learning things which are completely irrelvant to the subject I am handling.
Trying to avoid past patterns influencing my thinking.
Testing the connection between emotions, thoughts and instincts with different types of ambience, food and drinks.
Trying to catch my brain redhanded everytime it skips away from logic.
Trying to live with my natural instincts than listening to my thoughts or emotions.
I guess i will soon be in some asylm if i keep playing with myself. Sad

HuH?
Left brain VS Right brain.....
ROUND 2.....
FIGHT !!!!!!!!
I am too tired and stressed.
Perhaps after I move. Plus I am not sure how to explain the power of thought/intention. Everything exists in thought first this computer, this desk, etc. Even emotion. Emotion can be controlled by thought. It takes discipline but it can be done.
Buddhist teach us to be detached and how to control our emotion
buddhist is so air sign....i guess
look at the monks, seem like they have no emotion, calm and thoughtful
too emotional people dont realize that they are more look like an animal
you see.....water signs get depressed easily, coz they dont know what is "detachment"
detachment is not a bad thing, its about self control....I talked about detachment oin aqua board "talking about detachment"
