I'm not sure if astrology has any bearings on personality traits but I too am a Libra and can relate to what you say.

Typically, I come across as a very personable, light hearted person that would do anything for anyone. Underneath that front however is a solid layer of selfishness and complete disinterest in other people's needs and feelings. It is only those I get to know that benefit from my 'deep well of caring' that is buried under said layer.

Maybe it's a self defence thing I've developed after being taken for a mug all too many times in the past. Maybe it's because I'm a Libra and we are said to be selfish bastards that present a nicey-nicey face to the world. Whatever the case, don't beat yourself up about it - there's nothing wrong with you.

Tell me, have you ever gone through a period in your life where you're truly happy and centred within yourself? I have and you know what? I was the nicest guy on the planet :p that's when my INFPness shone through and that is why I want to sort my bloody life out so much. We all have that gooey stuff at the core, it's just sometimes obscured by the defences we throw up in my opinion :)

Weird, I'm a Libra too and can definitely identify with you, pmj85.

I know mate, that's what my point up there was based on ^ :p

I was talking about how I can relate to you and wondering if birth signs had anything to do with personality traits.

I don't know, but I'm Libra and I can relate to what you said. Too.

Yeah, obz. I don't get very hypocritical, but increasingly logically cruel when someone has crossed my lines, I rarely fall on my own swords.

Your reaction is a natural defense mechanism. I, being a thinker, can get easily confused or overwhelmed with strong emotions (they take me a lot of time to sort out), so the easiest way for me to get rid of negative feelings is to shut down emotionally and abuse my Thinking and Judging function (overcompensation).
I think this is what is happening there. You think to avoid feeling.

(my humble opinion....)

I've read it said that INFPs can present a calloused and cynical exterior to the world, because inside they are full of hope and gooey loving emotions like so many creme eggs. I've also heard it written that we can be fey and childlike on the outside to disguise that internally we are struggling with issues of meaninglessness and loss of hope.

Aint that the bitter truth?

Some of us just suffer from more external damage than others, making us into dickheads
