"yeah. the problem is that we internalise things way too much. it's like a form of denial really - by ignoring it, we don't have to deal with it. just bury it away and hope that it goes away too. it's not good though - this inability to confront issues, cos internalising it is only bad for ourselves in the long run. that's one of the ways we sting ourselves."
I don't think internalizing emotions is a form of denial at all. Scorpio is the sign of truth, and ignoring problems, not admitting them, is not characteristic of our nature. I internalize my problems/strong emotions because they are just too much to show publically; they might scare people away. But I don't ignore my problems, I take care of them right away privately. But I guess it depends on the Scorpio (pure/cusp). I was born on the 19th of November, so I have a bit of Sagittarius in me, therefore I might not know how a pure Scorpio (say, the 26 of Oct. to 17th of Nov) usually would react.
