Libra flightiness

Ok I figured out what triggers my flighty nature. I get pulled in a lot of directions and simply forget about things I promised. I get too many people who “need” things from me so I have to time manage or simply not take things on. It’s not so much people pleasing anymore, although it used to be, it’s mostly wanting to help. Which I have also cut back on, but I can get so busy with things and simply forget.

For example, I had an old acquaintance from high school pop up in my DMs and sent me his book that he told me he was working on earlier this year. I was genuinely excited for him and I genuinely wanted to read it. However, he sent it to me while I was running around at the laundromat and we don’t talk regularly so I simply forgot about it until he liked one of my photos today. He sent me this two months ago🤦🏽‍♀️. I wish I had an extra brain to help with this stuff. I know it’s not a good excuse just saying this is what happens to me. Too many people demanding my time or attention at the same time.
For some reason you're avoiding dealing with your own needs, so what you do instead to give yourself temporary peace of mind about it is to try and help other people with their needs. Find out what is it exactly about yourself you're escaping from, and why.

Stop it. Get in touch with your true needs first and give yourself what you need. It's only when your needs are fulfilled that you can truly give others what they need, not the other way round.

Boundaries; learn to set some, learn to say no, or you could drive yourself into a burnout.

Good luck.
My fiancéé is a Libra/Scorpio too, she had the same issues when younger.
Yeah I'm kind of going through the same thing. I have sick relatives so I have to or want to help them out. I run around like a chicken with it's head cut off these days. I'm not people pleasing but pleasing myself by not being selfish and later having to deal with my guilt.
