Oh Scorpios

This topic was created in the Scorpio forum by Andalusia on Wednesday, July 2, 2014 and has 50 replies.
I love you. But you confuse me.
But then I wonder: are you really that confusing? Or am I just too ______ [fill in the blank].
And then I wonder if there's an entry in one of the DSM volumes about whatever the hell I suffer from.
Long story short: I feel all the feels and I am not comfortable with it because I don't know how to do it!! I don't like not knowing things!!!

Melly,
IF you got to know me, you might not like knowing things.
Knowledge can be a double edged sword.

Step away from the Scorpio Board and breathe..a lot.
Only certainty in life - it's fluid.
I love hugs, Elle's bells!!
And I do love knowing things, Mr. Fire-Cracker (in honor of the 4th of July) Bird. I'd rather talk and know things than NOT talk and NOT know things. Blunt Honesty is better than silence.
Aww Melly

That's fine, personally, I'd rather not talk and know things than to talk and not know things.
Contrary to the roar of the crowd, Honesty can be found in silence and solitude. To put it Bluntly.


sounds like the typical virgo+scorpio dynamic! same boat...

That is a lesson I need to learn, but will decidedly dislike having to.
Hugs M&M's...
You're a great wee scorp whisperer imho!!! Winking have faith little one...

Yeah, it's hard having to be the one that's open all the time but not getting that in return.


Hmmmm........Sometimes being open doesn't look the way as you would like (e.g. minimal words being expressed), but if you in the inner circle, a Scorp is "open" to you.
Verbal communication is extremely important to me. Granted, 70% of communication is non-verbal, but spoken words are still important. At least to me.
Withholding words is as wounding to me as withholding sex or love or other things is to other people.
Honey, scorp's are careful with their words for a very, very good reason.
Try being the kid who makes your little sister cry just by the inflection in your voice. It's a hard lesson to learn and not ever forgotten...
Scorpios are confusing? Why?
Saying one thing and then *seemingly* doing another is... Hurtful. And confusing.
**and I say 'seemingly' because I realize that is only my interpretation - NOT how May or may not be actually intended.
But when there is no two-way communication, my over analytical pessimistic ass is left to my own devices. And I usually 'Walking Dead' that shit. Which then becomes entrenched.

Scorpios are confusing? Why?


Exactly. That's exactly my point. They probably ARENT confusing... But they become confusing to me once my feelings are activated..
Which says more about me than it does about them, TBH.
Hmmmm.....Scorpios are pretty direct when they have something to say. Maybe the over analyzing needs to be toned down. As for no two-way communication, I agree. That's when you need to double check that what you understand is the same as what was said, even if you have to sound like a broken record a little bit.
Now Cancers can show Scorpios a thing or two about sideways lingo. Yes, I admit it....we can be vague.
Planning for and freaking yourself out about the future to the detriment of the present? I do not understand that thought process.

What if I told you I was already here......., in the past? But while I am here today, I am also somewhere tomorrow?

Contemplating the future contribute to wise contingency planning - you know where you've been, now you are here, and
your eyes scan the horizon of tomorrow.
It should make perfect sense. - When you walk down the street, you look ahead, determine your path. Your feet follow your direction and obey your commands. You see a stop sign a block away, you walk toward it, observing the garbage truck, the pothole, the kid on the skateboard, without thinking. As you pass each obstacle, you avoid the pre- considered hazards. Viola no problemo.
Life is the same way. No freaking out - it's the ones who do NOT think ahead that freak out when they get there.
I am reminded of all those people screaming OMG! OMG! on 9/11/2001. They didn't see it comin' and for all their ignoring the warning signs, the reward for their unpreparedness was their "freaking out" and a whole nation bought
into the BS that was fed to it.
For the silence of the lambs, the roaring lion was RIPPED apart and cast into the fire.

Do you understand?

I think the issue with Scorps is that they can be very direct and honest and that can be scary. But deep down inside we are very soft. We are just tryimg to protect ourselves.


But telling someone that you see a future with them; that they are the only real relationship they have ever been in (despite having been married and divorced), that they are one of the only people they can confide in [other than their family]..
And then all but disappearing? And; when questioned, stating, "I'm sorry.. But there is something 'whole and complete about you', which will always scare me and make me run away."

Aww.
But honestly I don't think Scorpios are confusing.
The evolved Scorps have a solid reason behind each one of their behavioral patterns.
They're also completely honest with you about everything.
I find this much less confusing than other people who never have a reason behind their behavior.
I find such people harder to understand and harder to deal with.
If you're confused about a Scorps behavior, you can just ask them why they're behaving that way and they'll give you this detailed and surprisingly profound justification for it.
On the other hand, say, a Sagittarius or a Capricorn might be amazing in every other way but doesnt even know why they're acting the way they are acting

Sigh, the unfortunate consequence of walls in communication.
There was this feller named Tatoo?
He used to always yell, The plane boss, the plane!
The little bastard saw the plane before it landed in the water.
It's like those stupid youtube videos where what you really want to see is never fully caught on camera.
The boss never did anything about the planes from landing in the water.
But week after week when the planes came in, Tat would ring the bell, yelling the plane the plane.
Tat knew something was going to happen before everyone else did.
He had what was called back then, foresight.
I really don't know how to describe it.

Withholding words is as wounding to me as withholding sex or love or other things is to other people.


I feel the same way. Scorp withholds and I feel like I am wilting up and dying. Starved out.
He withdrew with the same type of reasoning...what if this? or what if that?
He also said "I scare him" on more than a few occasions. If I understood him correctly, it is this feeling of vulnerability that made him uncomfortable. I don't know what I do to make him feel vulnerable but all I can do is just be me and he will either stay or go. He doesn't seem to want to go so I suppose there is some assurance by those actions.
I understand where you're coming from.

All Scorps are insecure.
They need a vice to keep feeding into their self-importance.
Take that away?
Now you got one pathetic, squeaky little gerbil in your hands.

I don't know. I've asked and he's never come right out and said either yes or no. But my assumption is leaning more towards 'no'
Posted by IrresistableScorp
Have you asked him directly what he meant by that? Maybe he doesn't want to fail another person. I am sure his divorce peaked his sense of, like Rabbit stated, inadequacy .
The very best thing to do is to be supportive and have a "I'll take you at your worse" mentality IF you feel like you want him in your life. He maybe stuck in a spiral of feeling insecure. Just a thought.


Well, I've told him that I accept him; that I don't fully understand him but I accept him - all of him - as he is... Even if it frustrates the piss out of me on occasion.
And I also told him recently (after about three weeks of reaching out and not hearing from him) that "he was stuck with me". To which he immediately responded "I'm cool with it".

Let it go. Let these Scorps heal you.
It's okay, just let out and cleanse.

fixed.
Now, Bunny, you listen real good: Stop looking at porn and playing with yourself. Stop flirting with these troubled women or any other woman online or in real life and put the booze down. Seriously! Be a REAL MAN.... Go love your wife! Tell her how much she means to you. SHOW her how much you love her and care about her. MOST importantly, be her best friend.

Well, I am guessing that is where the statement came from. Until that changes for him, you will get more of the same. As he feels your support and acceptance of who he is, flaws and all, you'll see less and less of it. If you're willing to ride it out.

My mental dialog/image when I've encountered this goes something like: "Don't you DARE insult yourself with that kind of negative talk!! How DARE you put yourself down like that?!" ~grabs shoulders and shakes vigorously~ "YOU. DESERVE. TO. BE. FUCKING. HAPPY!! DAMMIT!!"

LOL...
Just laying out facts as I see em.
For me I don't see the appeal in Scorps...just searching for it.
Can't complain about the sex of course, that if you seperate screaming, crying and bickering...
Theres whole lot to life than just sex, and then Scorps show their vulnerabilities.
Frail bodies, narrow minds and Childish nature.
You can manipulate them in MILLION ways you see fit.
Drunks, druggies and problems with the law...there is NO purpose to their cause!

Your description of scorp energy is so completely off I wonder if you even know any...
Screaming? Tantrums? Nope. Scorp's will turn blue in the face before losing control.
And your observation of scorp addiction and vice is also flawed.
Decision confirmed, you're reading cat lady astrology off the back of a cereal box while eating your dinner at the bottle shop.
Boring.
^^^ Yep, haven't seen one through a tantrum in real life. Have seen more than one Taurus do it, though.
So I went looking for this thread to see how long ago it was..
