“Oh, you think your Aries friend is just 'energetic'? Try 'incapable of sitting still, even for a moment of self-reflection, and prone to starting arguments just to feel alive.'”
“That sweet, unassuming Libra? Don't be fooled. Their indecisiveness is merely a sophisticated shield for avoiding any actual responsibility or difficult choices. They'll charm you while you do all the heavy lifting.”
