I realized I have quit arguing. It wasn't conscious other than I have wanted to not fight because it's draining? But as of today, it would be very hard to get me to argue, which is saying something because I'm designed for debate.
I think this might be a true break, similar to when I quit playing cards. I played and played and played and played and then not at all for decades.
Since it wasn't a conscious decision, I'm not clear on the "why", but I can think of many wild possibilities... which could be a result of redirecting my energy.
I wonder if anyone else has had a similar shift.
There has been a shift for me. I’m more likely to say what I think. I’ve noticed elderly people lose their filters with age. I’m quickly approaching that life stage.
A recent example. I was in an interstate rest area. I was at one of the sinks cleaning my hands. A woman and young child came out of a stall and rushed to the exit. I popped out, “You’re not washing your hands?” I suppose I looked like the old judgmental granny with my white hair. The mom said they had hand sanitizer.
I've never really argued. I should regain my filters and stop starting crap.
That happened to me when I met my husband. With Mercury conjunct Mars in Aries I was very combative. It was also how I flirted, I see now. But when we got together it just stopped. I couldn’t understand what happened but later realized my progressed Sun had left Aries for Taurus - when I met him, a double Taurus!
Yes! I'm built to argue as well and I've just stopped. The motivation has disappeared. The arguing was usually trying to persuade/convince, and sometimes even just for fun (I love a debate), but I don't want to do it anymore and I don't even know why.
If someone wants to believe X when I believe Y, that is just fine at this point. I think most of my arguing, whether logical or emotional, was futile.
More about me loosing my filters. Granted the correct Mercury Mars conjunction is active.
I told my sister her teenaged granddaughter was nothing more than a toddler with tits.
I would say, I have started debating & standing my ground.
