High Hopes

Is it normal for all Scorpios to have high hopes in situations. I always find that I expect things to go a certain way and then I disappoint myself when they do not. Big dreamer I am I guess :-)

Oh Firebird :-)

Moon is in 17 Degrees Sagittarius.
An idealist, you prefer the grand, the beautiful, the good and the noble. You get very disappointed when your high expectations in life are not met

THAT explains it!!!!!

LOL!! i thought of that choon when i saw the thread title.

yeah i always have high hopes but low expectations. it is possible to balance the two if you don't mind entertaining a debating committee in your head, lol 🙂

...you know what you want. very very scorpionic of you. 😉

I also have high hopes, thats probably because i dream about the outcome of a situation a lot. And when it doesnt happen i become dissappointed.

This is how I am and it ends up makng me depressed. I feel like I hurt myself more by expecting good things to happen.

that's the trouble with having expectations really. they inevitably lead to some kind of depression when they aren't met. this has been something that has plagued me throughout my life but i finally learned that there's nothing wrong with hoping or wanting a desired outcome but as soon as you 'expect' it you kinda pin all your hopes on that expectation and work the scenario through in your mind to way beyond that expectation being met.

that's what i used to do anyway...in my mind a certain series of events would take place and i would expect a certain result and so when things didn't pan out my way it always left me feeling like....well wtf do i do now? cos all my eggs were in that goddamn basket!!!

i've worked mainly in finance...risk management...where expectations have absolutely no place cos an expectation blinds you to the risks and invariables involved in whatever situation you're dealing with.

i believe very strongly in cause and effect. the cause being the action and the effect being the consequence. if you pour boiling water on yourself, you will suffer a burn...that kinda thing. unfortunately, when you're dealing with human interaction the cause/effect scenario becomes very complicated because there are a myriad of causes behind the way a person acts and so you can't ever accurately predict an outcome which is why having expectations in that respect are pointless.

belief is what you need 🙂
