The Pisces has been legitimately preoccupied and we have not been able to connect as much in the past week or so. He sent me an email this morning to tell me what's up and it was nice to read.

So I go to type a reply of course and I end it with, "I miss you 😢"

Immediately after typing it I felt the "Oh God...MUSH!" wave roll over me. I'm such a child when it comes to these things. I'm not sure if it's my Aries placements (Venus in Aries) or if it's my Taurus Sun that damn near cripples me when it comes to being warm and fuzzy?

I have a difficulty expressing myself in regards to affection. I can do it but I'm transported to middle school whenever things start getting mushy. I love you isn't difficult but as soon as the emotions get too deep, with friend, family or a man, it's like yeah, "please stop."

I think it's a combination of upbringing and something in my chart. Do any of you fellow Taureans feel..."restricted" when it comes to expressions of feeling?

it's just more of a childish response that i have yet to get over or master. it could be all the aries. feelings are just...UGH!

my tau friend used to call it the "there, there" response to emotional stimuli...when you do the *pat pat* on someone's shoulder or back when they're overly emotional but inwardly feel uncomfortable.

i think given he's a fish/water sign, ideally i'd be more expressive but i think getting to that point signifies a loss of control for me. it means that i've exposed myself and given him power over me in a way. the longer i can maintain my solidarity and separation...from him and my feelings i suppose, the better.

i know that makes no sense and yet, writing "i miss you" was tough.

i get where you're coming from but it's not really about withholding in that way. so not about weakness per se or being clingy. it's more of an independence thing and admitting to myself that i need/want this person in my life.

it's a "containment" of my emotions and a tactile stalemate so to speak.

the baggage from my past has taught me that the moment i give in, is the moment there's a power shift. i wouldn't say that i feel above him, or that we're equal right now, but i do think that we each feel what we feel and where there's a connection, there's no dependence.

the moment i depend on this other person is when they have the potential to disappoint.

and yes zerox, "cutie"bullie is indeed cute 😛

well not playing tough...being independent. i dont want to have to rely or believe that my happiness resides outside of myself. where i want a partner in life, i know that life is fragile. i want someone who will take my dedication as seriously as i do and until that point, i don't want to commit myself until he has clearly committed.

and yeah i know, why would he commit if he doesn't know how i feel?
