When You're On: Superstar Aries like lots of attention, so when you're on, you prefer smaller gatherings where you can make a big impact. Even in a crowded room, you'll make sure people notice you — even if that means being quiet and mysterious while everyone else is yapping away. Not ones to shy away from a competition, Aries are always ready to get in the game, especially if there's a chance that you might win!
When You're Off: When it comes to personal space, Aries need your own solar system. As much as you love yourselves, Aries are also your own worst critics. You not only need an escape from the world, but from your own overactive brain! During downtime, distractions are essential—video games, puzzles or novels if you're feeling low-key; a vigorous workout (with the headphones pumping) if you're hyped up.
ARIES & FRIENDSHIP
Aries
were born expecting the best, and you take that attitude into the realm
of friendships. Even if you
only have a few friends, these will be high-quality connections that
will stand the test of time. In public, Aries put on the good face—these
private types don't like airing your dirty laundry to the world. You
need plenty of one-on-one time with your friends so you can talk through
your issues without people listening in and judging them. Aries are
hard enough on yourselves as it is—any extra criticism can push you
over the edge. When things don't go your way, you've been known
to throw a temper tantrum or ice out an offender with an endless silent
treatment. Friends of Aries
must give you tough love, setting limits in a firm but gentle way.
While you require a little extra understanding, Aries are ready, willing, and able to offer it up in return. You will listen with surprising patience and help friends find wise and sensible solutions. This kind of advice doesn't come around every day, since most people are too wrapped up in their own lives to really put themselves into another's world. A little dose of Aries wisdom is an inspiring gift, which makes friendships with your sometimes-difficult sign worth all the trouble.
