Are Scorpios prone to flattery?

This topic was created in the Scorpio forum by Sn1p3r187 on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 and has 25 replies.
The one I know is. Besides that it's deep emotional connection that I feel adds on for it. I'd like to think sometime. What do you think.

I'm confused. Are you asking are Scorpios prone to flattering others or are Scorpios themselves susceptible to flattery?
details
Depends.

Mine isn't. His self-esteem could use some improvement, so he doesn't see compliments as the truth. This makes him suspicious of your intentions.
He also doesn't give out a lot of flattery to people.

Flattery instantly activates a defensive and suspicious posture in me.

I don't believe the Scorp I know is susceptible to false flattery, but he does enjoy honest acknowledgement of his higher qualities and achievements.
Also, I've learned that when a Scorp praises you, he genuinely means it and is hurt if you take it lightly. Sometimes people have trouble accepting compliments and praise from others. Be gracious and accepting of Scorp's praise.

you're learning quite well

I know what's sincere and what isn't.
Always remember though, most Scorps who give you a compliment or flatters, it's usually genuine.
details
Well luckily I'm honest with everything I'm say towards people. Just no details about myself. I meant a compliment, I pretty much meant it.

I take compliments graciously and can sniff out false ones (hate those). I have a hard time really letting the real ones sink in. I don't see myself the same way others do.
details
Scorps can instantaneously figure what's a phony-azz flattery like any average soul can get a whiff of a dirty diaper and KNOW it's a dirty diaper.
What's more insulting is when someone thinks I will fall all over myself for some hollow compliment.

I, for one, don't particularly care for flattery. I can usually see right through it. Just be honest and
tell the truth. If I do good, tell me. If I do bad, tell me, likewise. Either way, tell me. BUT...
you had better tell the truth because, if, I already know it, the lie will surely be found out.
Nobody likes to be made a fool of, except the fool. And the only way to prevent that is to focus on righteous wisdom and practice that righteous wisdom in all things in life.
Now, what I have said has nothing to do with astrology, signs, etc. It's a fundamental truth
that applies to everyone: Treat others the way you want to be treated.
That said, flattery is dishonesty. Not a good thing.

Flattery is falsehood.
Do you mean compliments, perhaps? I don't think anyone likes to be deceived.


I can't take compliments well Sad


I wonder if it's human nature to have all your faults rearing up when someone points out the good. Tongue

Flattery is falsehood but compliments are not. The difference is that "flattery" is self-serving
while compliments are not. Actively seeking compliments for the sake of elevating self-esteem
is a falsehood because the self-esteem is invested in a temporal acceptance that comes and goes
with the wind of self-deception. Genuine compliments are freely given unexpectedly, but sought out compliments are not genuine just the same as flattery.

"Can't deposit compliments in bank, I prefer cash "
This was the response of one of Scorpio in linda goodmans book
to a question of him being not perturbed by rude boss.
Mine is same approach, never loose sight of real thing Winking


The real thing is do your job, do it well. Accept compliments as they come.
If they don't come.... you may find yourself looking for another job.
How's that for a cash deposit real thing??

lols real thing dude you can keep you real thing "job well done" to yourself and
