Let's talk about scorpio rage control

This topic was created in the Scorpio forum by scorpio24356 on Friday, January 6, 2017 and has 26 replies.
How do you fellow scorps control your rage? Do you ever beat yourselves up over feeling like you can't control your anger or jealousy?

I didnt have a problem with it for a long time, but recently its coming back and i feel like it is ruining my relationship. Feel like i should take meds or something. What do you guys do to control yourselves or stay calm in the moment?
It takes a lot for me to get to that point but it's not pretty. I try to remove myself and reassess the situation and consequences.

It helps if the incident occurs in front of others because I despise making a scene.

My suggestion is to get away and be alone with your thoughts for a little while until you calm down.

Really? Why is that? Nobody every guesses Scorpio but it's my dominant (sun, Merc and my anus)

LOL! Autocorrect?

Anyways, yeah, I think it's because I mistook you for another user on here, Cancan26.

But aside from that, I don't think I've ever seen you respond to users in a feisty or sarcastic way. A lot of the Scorpios on here exhibit one of those two traits. And you seem more composed I suppose.

See -.- That's why I like MBTI better than astrology.
I do not have rage problems. I'm too lazy to get mad at someone manytimes. More like I can't care enough to get angry at someone.I do have my bad days yeah, but I'd just turn cold n hibernate for a while. I don't deal with anger by using spiteful words/language. I don't wanna say anything which I'd possibly regret later(N I most definitely will regret though the other person has been very nasty). So I'd rather prefer keeping it in check even if at all someone has been successfull in making me mad. Try seeing the aftermath of all that. You might just not wanna get angry at all.

Not autocorrect. I have the sense of humor of a 13 year old boy lol

I'm very feisty and sarcastic in a flirty way in real life. I tend to be more censored here because people can't hear my tone and there would probably be a lot of misunderstandings.

Honestly, my Gem rising fits me perfectly but deep down, that Scorpio and Aries is simmering.

I don't see your placements. Scorp?

I'm good and cutting you down with words. That's why I don't explode often. I can shut people down before it gets to that point.

That's probably why my ex husband would freak out on me so often. He would try to win arguments with intimidation so when I would sting him with words he would keep getting louder and more violent.

Wow, you're an Aries Mooner as well, and Gemini Rising?

Lol, I swear I'm 90% of the time very perceptive to other people and how they write. xD

But I get where you're coming from.

As for me, I'm a Virgo Sun, Leo Mooner, and I have Scorpio as my Ascendant sign.

See, that used to be me, but over the past 2 years ive changed a lot and had more control. But now i feel like its coming back. And honestly, it does make me feel super guilty when i hurt someone with words. I just want it to stop but i feel like i can't control myself anymore.

Nice....I would take you as a Scorpio.

That's a good mix. I know that Leo moons get a bad rap sometimes but I like them.

Sometimes us females can get extra emotional because our hormones get out of whack. Have you switched birth control? How's your thyroid?

It sounds crazy but there may be something to it.

Also..just be lazy to react.. honestly.. turn that anger into indifference.Trust me . You're not losing here ? Think of those people like roaches which don't deserve your reaction Tongue

Yes, thyroid issues can change behaivor

People with an overactive thyroid may exhibit marked anxiety and tension, emotional lability, impatience and irritability, distractible overactivity, exaggerated sensitivity to noise, and fluctuating depression with sadness and problems with sleep and the appetite.

I like myself too.

Lol no I'm playing.

In all seriousness though, I think I come across as a Scorpio sometimes because I have Pluto in the 1st House and Sun sextile Pluto. And I think having Venus Opposite Pluto probably explains why I strongly react to people I either like or dislike.

I understand you thinking you wouldn't be giving your 100% by doing that . I've had people saying me I don't care for them just because I don't give them the reaction they want. But they always somehow came around n actually felt guilty themselves. It saved too many relationships for me n the best part is they think I saved them all.N what did I do here? Just slept all throughout someone else's drama.

Hope you find peace with however you decide to work this out smile

I really like how you explained that. It makes a lot of sense. I think I'll take your advice. Let me know if you think of anything else. I have learned recently that theres a lot of things i cant control. And dating someone who also likes to feel a sense of control has been difficult. Not impossible though. I should just chill and let things play out instead of being so concerned with things i cant control... and every time he tries to get a reaction out of me. Lol

It is the best thing to do if you really can, honestly. There are this moments or words which trigger me. People use them just to trigger you sometimes. I can absolutely say something which will zip them in a jiffy. But I choose to be this better person everytime. It hurts initially. It'll be an internal struggle. But once you see how it works, it feels very liberating.You just snap the power from people by letting them speak nonsense n not giving a reaction. You genuinely start feeling good about yourself. But the best part is people realizing how mean they have been. Even if they don't, it just feels better not to be an asshole. N lol ...if I were you, with such controlling bf, I'd let him think/assume that he's controlling me all the while never letting go off my control. That's what I do with controlling people in general ?
I get annoyed.. like a lot. Especially at work. I've learned to take deep breath's and look at the situation from a calmer angle. I can get pretty volcanic if the right person pokes me enough. But I've learned to just take a step back, and just rage later. I'm like you, i dont care enough to get mad, but if the mood strikes... byeeeeeee!

I vent later... driving in my car, music, ect. the usual. But i also take Cold pressed Flax seed. It helps with my anxiety and depression. Actually makes me a lot calmer. My doc said pot wouldn't be right for me because of my ptsd. so i try alternatives.

I have an ongoing joke with my boss when co workers dont listen to me or piss me off. I say "Rage quit!" and walk away. it makes her laugh, and i calm down. I try not to take everything so seriously, and as a scorpio, that's HARD. but at the end of the day, it helps. Oh.. Epsom salts. It's nice not having to worry and panic about every damn thing.

and i am very critical and hard on myself, but it only keeps me pushing to do better! onward and upward.

rage comes in 4 forms - internal and external, verbally and physically. we can rage inside yet appear to be calm outwardly. we can externally show our irate side while saying nothing. we can verbally let lose all that we feel, or we can go silent and physically express our rage. it depends on the situation.

otherwise, we dont like to be in that state. we want to be happy like everyone else. it's just not an easy road to get there.
I love your answers lol
