ReplyDeleteI, for one, can tell you it's an earthquake if I'm provoked, bullied or feel backed into a corner. What can really get anyone in trouble with MICs is causing a disruption in their family unit and household and/or close connections with drama, pot stirrer and hostility. They are the protective type so we will fight others over our family and close friends, you just don't try us.
Sex, I'm not a traditional sexual person, I have some freak in me but the freak in me has to come from someone I trust and who I feel secure with. Yet MIC is the let's take our time and do it right, we won't rush into sex and we hardly do one night stands even.
Lastly to keep the flames and water even it's important for MICs to channel their frustration, anger and sadness into creativity and/or physical activity. Also drinking lots of water is a benefit to MICs.
Another great blog!
