The first time I read the profile for a Scorpio I was literally dumbfounded. I could not believe what I was reading. It described me so accurately I almost felt paranoid about it. I have had so many problems with relationships over the years and could not understand why I have such a problem relating to other people. The nature of being a Scorpio - distrusting and sleeping with one eye open. I can count my true friends on one hand. I've had them for many years. They love me for who I am and say what a wonderful person I am. On the other hand, there are many people I know and work with who seem to despise me. It's this love/hate relationship that I have with people that confuses and frustrates me. The harder I try to make people like me, the more they seem to dislike me. I think maybe they see that I do not trust and only allow a few people into my life. I don't know. I wonder if any of you other Scorpios have had similar problems to mine. I think I'm a good person and have been told so but maybe I'm not. Maybe I don't really see myself for who I am.

Hi Scorpionut,
I have had the same problem and many other Scorps I know as well. I do not have many "real friends" as I do not trust too many people. I have many "social friends" but not many of them I can really express myself with or be honest with/tell all my dirt to type of friends.
I think people dislike the fact we are independent/strong-willed...we act as though we don't "need anyone in our lives...we can do fine on our own". If you are trying to befriend people and they push further away, than its because you are not genuine about it and are doing it just to make them "like you". The way I look at it...if you don't like me, thats your problem. Be yourself and people will come to you.
Good/true friends are hard to come by...but we have such a wall up as Scorpios it is very hard to let people in. Relax, be yourself ....people will come to you when you start feeling confident about yourself...

You are a good person, as long as you know it...who gives a damn about what others think....if they are any good, they will notice you...period!
The greeks have a saying...."Know thyself"
"In every approach to people a Scorpio comes across as invasive, if not confrontational (one of the reasons why you make either fiercly loyal friends or intense enemies) like a hard-nosed reporter or detective launching a probe. Scorpio's every remark seems ever so slightly cutting, as if designed to dig ever further into the mind of whomever he's addressing, gauging their reactions, as he does, in a search for chinks in one's armor. Fittingly, scorpio is not above making scatological comments or using bawdy gross-out "humor" to provoke or embarrass. He's continually excavating for truth, the real story behind the endless sea of quietly desperate smiles. His constant searching of people's psyches is no blind ambition, rather it is meant to serve a definite purpose: To borrow from a luminously shadowy Scorpion songwriter, he's a perpetual "miner for a heart of gold."
...a rather honorable quest, if you ask me....
