can you explain astrologically or psychologically those people who always say things to make you feel bad?
you know some people it seems every word they say is self serving, to voice their opinion but never considering other people at all. in fact they tend to say things that make other people feel the lesser?
they just kind of leave you with a sour taste in your mouth and you're like why am i spending my time around them?
how to deal with these "opinionated" people?

people who put others down do so in order to convince themselves that they are superior. They are usually control freaks, have a need to feel in charge, be the centre of attention and can only do so if their superority is recognized, for its hard to boss around a person if that person thinks their your equal or better than you.
Signs that do this the most are generally the bossy signs, often Leo Scorpio Aries maybe Capricorn not neccessarily sun signs but strong influences in these signs, particularly the Rising Sign.
First try to recognize the type and avoid them as much as possible. If your in a situation that this is almost impossible then find out where they live and start sending death threats, and other types of wounding letters even send them a box of poisoned chocolates or sweets. Car vandalism is another option. This sort of behaviour will dampen their opinionatedness PARTICULARLY if they have no idea who is responsible.

I can come up with all kinds of reasons,but it boils down to interpersonal dynamics, people skills.Individual Perception and Beliefs..certainly age,social background and IQ is to be considered.
Personally, I fully understand that if i asked for an opinion,i don't want to control the response i get,so i listen and have a choice to accept or reject it.Apparently this is their opinion..end of story.Even if i think it is not true,i am wrong,because it is true for the giver of the opinion.They are words ,made into sentences formed by their thought process..that either make sense to me,or don't. And for whatever reason.*see first paragraph.
Words cannot make you feel less than,unless you believe them. If a person has a choice to purge their life of negative people because they make them feel bad or are abusive,by all means .But if it is just a matter of a confident character speaking with the not so confident..then somebody needs to work on and build character strengths..might be a life lesson and this is how we grow.
Just my opinion from where i sit.

Did you ever wonder why certain types keep reappearing in your life ????
Why we seem to unconsciously draw "clones" of the same people who have done the most damage to our hearts/souls and minds???
I generally look to the aspects first of what was in transit when this "newbie/friend/co-worker" />etc became a part of my life.
Good grief if you DON'T have to spend time around them ---why bother??
If that option is not one you control -
then never give them an opening to get in your personal space.

I know this girl who bullied me verbally in middle school. She's an Aquarius. I don't know her deal, but it more than likely has to do with that cool, biting attitude that Aquarii have as a personal nature. They like to "tell it like it is" in a way that sounds like a fact of life, and they're not afraid to be mean to others when they feel that it's "for their own good" to learn about how much of a piece of **** they are.
Aquarii love knowledge and love to learn and teach others , but it's in a superior-college-professor kind of way that rubs me the wrong way. I don't need to be belittled into learning something.

Jesus said, forgive not of 7 times, but of 70 times 7 times, in the bible
fire signs i've heard have high pride, so when they are feeling down, they can pose out their opinions that may degrade others & make others feel worse
fixed signs are hard to fix as it is Lol about their opinions, so learn to have fun with them & trust them in the first place, trust is super essential for them
& trust and forgiveness are both differential/different
meditation and learning to "evaluate or gather your soul (self)" is very essential (i got this from Jesus as well lol)
i'm reading the Book Urantia: it explains all the secrets to the Universe, as well as the Bible, but most of it is in Urantia
it's mind over matter
soul over body, your body is just material for your soul to be perfect one day, perfect as God (in of the Ages of the soul)
God sends down 'spirits' to us humans, their is a limitless number amount of spirit, that is literally apart of him (His spirit),
so that our soul will actually Feel his LOVE, it is possible, maybe not the full capacity of his Love but we can reach it's greatness
good luck hun <33

I'm not sure what would apply astrologically, but I've had to be hard on myself to survive such people. I get angry, I'm an Aries, lol. I don't stay mad though, and I move on fairly well. What's most important to me is if I'm feeling bad, I have to accept that I'm allowing that way of thinking within myself, and sort of punishing myself.
I'm me, and I'm happy with that. I don't have to please others, and neither do you.

Those people put their "ego" first. maybe their ego blinds them from seeing anyone else's perception, because their ego is their truth and maybe they feel their truth should be everyone else's truth. and dammit if they think otherwise, they might think. maybe these people want to control their own worlds and any change that threatens their perception of the word is an offense to them. How I deal with these people..wells it depends who they are, but sometimes, I think life will teach them harsh lessons in life..I might distance myself from them for a while but depends who they are to me

all i know is..if anyone constantly is saying hurtful and negative stuffs to others..then they're full of misery and hurt inside themselves.
they dont want to show their vulnerable side..and dont want anyone to think they're "weak" so try to appear dominant or stronger.
btw nice name "witch please!" lol..very funny x'D
