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.

 the same is true of me, as well. Arguing is the one thing I’m very good at and have always had the energy for. Like I thrive in it. But I have stopped entirely. My family keeps attacking me and I just stand there. Eventually I’ll say “you done?” Chuckle and walk away. I just don’t think it’s worth it anymore. I just can’t be bothered. Tho I will say, it seems to have made things worse. Like now people try harder to get a reaction out of me or something

@starf interesting.  I haven't had that experience. I figure they're looking for someone more likely to cave. I'm entrenched! Smile

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.
