I know I'm being silly but feel a bit shitty that friend told me I have a dark green aura, which apparently means I'm one of lifes vile peoples. Bloody typical. I'm already feeling shit about myself. I'm trying not to fit to type, it also means being a victim. Any tales of woo would be a great distraction!

She's not a friend Sad

Dark or muddy forest green: Jealousy, resentment, feeling like a victim of the world; blaming self or others; insecurity and low self-esteem; lack of understanding personal responsibility; sensitive to perceived criticism

Doesn't mean vile anyway

Sounds quite vile to me or maybe I'm just being a victim :)

A drak green aura means low self esteem and insecurity. Yes it can mean what your friend said but I think vile is going a bit far.

Can you use it as motivation to try to be more positive and see the good in yourself and others?

wannabedomesticgoddess · 01/01/2013 05:57

Dark rather!

LadyWidmerpool · 01/01/2013 05:57

You're only vile if you do vile things like make your friends feel crap and I'm sure you don't. Be kind to yourself.

Wanna, I don't think I am those things all the time and guess all of can be some of the time. I don't really think as a result of an aura I need to change. And Yes, vile is the wrong word. I would have liked to have had a pretty aura and not a resentful and jealous one.

There seems to be many different interpretations for aura colours depending on which books you read or websites you visit.
A friend of mine is very spiritual and reads auras etc, she once said that colours have different meanings to different readers and what might appear pink to me may be Blue to her, she said it's more about feeling the colour of the aura than seeing it. So unless your "friend" is a practiced pro (and even then) I'd take it with a pinch of salt.
Also, aura's change don't they? You knowwith your moods etc?

Thanks silvery, that makes me feel better. I was feeling really good until friend told me of aura and they were really reluctant to explain. I think I don't really believe in aura but believe that's what friend thinks of me. Which is quite sad really.

I wasnt suggesting you change Hmm

We could all do with being more positive at times and if thats how your friend sees you then maybe you need to work on that!

Sorry for the use of change :) my friends opinion of me has made me think but I don't entirely agree with it. I'm trying to cheer myself up!

Yes I'm bloody up, I'm always bastard up as DD2 refuses to sleep ever.

Your friend is a cow for saying it, she's not really a mate. And auras are total and utter bollocks anyway, feel free to pretend yours is silver and glittery like a mythical unicorn.

Thanks softly. God bless you and your dd. I wish I had a dd2. I only have a little man who is getting too big for cuddles and kisses. Although I still can't get him out of my bed! Why's your little lady awake?

OP posts:
Softlysoftly · 01/01/2013 06:32

She's 7 months and has never slept more than a 3hr stretch in all that time. I feel about 100.

Bet my aura looks all sunken and grey ;)

I'm sure boys never get too old for their mummy's do they?

I'd love a little 7 month old, I remember mine being chunky and super cuddly although not every 3 hours, you must be exhausted. My little man is lying next to me now. We re at friends and sharing a bed. He grinds his teeth and is constantly tossing and turning, hence the reason I'm awake. Are you still breasth feeding

My aura is tired coloured..
Hardly slept and now up again.
Took ds to new year party for 1.5 hours stayed up til he fell asleep at 130 then had to deal with dd3 who seems to have been up most of the night.

In spite of me taking ds out with me so dh didn't have to deal with him, sleeping in dds (tiny) bed with her til 230 to let him sleep & having her be awake next to me he is still in a mood as allegedly my friends woke her up.

I am beginning to wonder why I ever bother going out!!

Did your 'friend' realise she had upset you?

FrustratedSycamoreSnowflake · 01/01/2013 07:03

I'd question your choice in friends

oopsadaisymaisy · 01/01/2013 07:04

Ahw, girls, I hope you manage some sleep. I'm not hopeful, I never bloody sleep! I don't really think friend was being deliberately mean. I'm just feeling sorry for myself. I really wanted to have a lovely aura. :)

Of course its a load of old shit :) I ve given up on sleep now. It's 2013. Here's hoping for a happy new year. :)

OP posts:
girlsyearapart · 01/01/2013 07:21

I was quite hoping 2013 would b the year I got a bit more sleep but it's not looking good so far!

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 01/01/2013 07:23

Happy new year too! Id think she is just crap at interpreting someones actual personality and characteristics if she needs to rely on not-even-there colours telling Her.

Tryharder · 01/01/2013 07:25

I am up! Picking DH up from work in a while as no buses then going to work myself. Stayed last night at my mum's, was in bed at 11pm. All fun and games here as you can tell....

adeucalione · 01/01/2013 07:32

You should google James Randi - I think he used to be a stage magician, but he is now best known for debunking woo.

I remember watching him looking into auras - he asked an 'aura detector' (or whatever they're called) to identify the auras of five people and then got those five people to stand behind a thin wall so that the detector could identify them by their auras alone. Of course, this didnt happen.

He also offered a million pounds to anyone who could prove that they could see auras, and AFAIK this money is still unclaimed.

Your friend isn't a friend, and I agree with those posters who've said you can pretend that your aura is whatever colour you want.
