‎I have this friend (Virgo) who bumped into her colleague (Scorpio) at a bank. Once they're done with their business, they were about to go their separate ways when the Scorpio asked curiously where she's going and my friend says she's just going to grab some lunch (some crazy expensive restaurant with some dish she's craving) and the colleague insists on hanging out with her so my friend will have some company. Friend wants to be polite and whatever it's lunch?



‎They get there, pay for their orders and go on their way. But my friend wasn't really paying much attention coz she thinking about a lot of things but she can vaguely recall the Scorpio sharing some financial issues she's been having lately. These people have known each other barely 2 weeks btw if that matters.



‎Then the next day, the Scorpio messages my friend saying (very polite and subtle tbf) that she might've spent a little too much yesterday which uhhh she literally got like one drink but my friend gets that drink is crazy expensive but anyway this Scorpio borrows money and my friend ofc immediately lends (absolutely not expecting nor wanting this money back) because she felt guilty about the incident for some reason.



‎My friend even thought about buying her lunch the following week but started to think that's a bad idea coz this lady got really annoying (constantly being touchy around my friend which this is something my friend HATES like she recoils/cringes physically whenever it happens unless you're family and sometimes just hovering near her while she's having convos with others, etc)



‎How can my friend improve this situation?

Your friend needs to avoid her. Even if she has the resources and likes to be helpful. Once you named the Scorpios gender I knew where this story was going. Never trust a straight woman below age 36 who is randomly clinging to you all friendly and asking to accompany you to restaurants etc. this is how the girls at rehab were toward me a decade ago and in the last year it's how the homeless in Central Park were to me. You've got to keep them at an arms length because along with being needy, they're sadistic and like to hurt your feelings when they're done using you.

I don't think the Scorpio is a bad person but my friend feels uncomfortable and awkward about the incident. Personally, I myself have had a pretty good history with Scorpios (I find them protective) but I've noticed they mostly come into my life with a variety of problems. I had one live with me for a while back in uni coz our mutual Pisces friend kicked her out when she comes home to a broken door lock that the Scorpio can't explain (she also convinced that Pisces to let her live with her for awhile until that incident). Nothing crazy happened when she stayed with me btw but she's so clingy and I hate that in friendships.

Typical Scorpio being faithful to the grift



Virgos have no backbone so she’ll probably end up covered in baby oil (Scorpio goo) and the accomplice of some murder.


I just watched Stephanie Soo describe what happened to Cassie. I remember being stupid at 19 but at least I wasn't trafficked. I'm just so sick of Virgos constantly being abused from the whole Weinstein thing (mostly Virgo women for some reason) and now Cassie with her testimony.

But I don't think it's a backbone thing. There are people who genuinely need help and not just trying to take advantage or abuse. People have actual dignity and shame like nobody wants to be in these situations like that's only logical. Messed up people need all the help they can get. Maybe this belief sometimes gets us in trouble.

I think the clinginess is a red flag. No respect for boundaries. Selfish. A decent person who needed help would have a less aggressive approach and would be super grateful, polite

What I've noticed is certain types need to add insult to injury. Like they cop their personalities from gangster films. Similar to how when I was 19 or so I realized that only the man's sex drive matters, I'm not allowed to initiate and that men can cheat but if the woman does you're crucified-- so I let my bfs cheat or we'd bring in other women, I just wanted to be treated decently to my face but these guys had to make sure they offended me by insulting me publicly and praising the girl in my face. For no reason. You give someone a gift, their ego needs to beat you down. So like even if your friend is responsible and has a plan for being charitable, I would want nothing to do with an extroverted car salesman-ass needy Scorpio because she'll probably try to "neg" your friend soon. Or fuck her man. Then again i have zero experience with female Scorpios

Tbh when someone helps me out, I offer my thanks and assure them that I would return/reciprocate such favor. But whether they insist on not having that returned or just agreeing with me, I tend not to hover around them coz I don't want them to think that I'm trying to look for more favors OR that maybe I'm just trying to 'be nice' around them coz they did that favor for me one time. But I don't know, my social skills are low so I'm not even sure if these are 100% acceptable. It's just my pov.

I've had experience only with 3 Scorpio women and so far from what I've seen, they tend to have very messy lives and all are in relationships with abusive men (violent, unfaithful and haters). I'll prob die of worry if I had a Scorpio daughter coz I'd always think she's gonna choose the most scandalous options possible. But that could just be my judgy Virgo a s s coz it's not like Virgos have made the best choices in not getting constantly abused historically. But like a mutable can move on from that while a Scorpio will stand their ground like yo this trash is m i n e.

Anyway, I'm mostly thinking about my Scorpio aunt putting up with my Libra uncle. I mean, he looks like when Mark Hamill was in his 40s but that's about it 🙄🙄

Just let it ride. Me and my Scorpio frenemy are friends again. She’s chilled out since she started getting dick from a new Aquarius man.


sex solving problems?

lol that's the kind of thing my dude believes in 😆😆

maybe i'm just really biased coz i prefer air signs as friends and think everyone else too stressful to be around 🤷🤷like i said i want more friends but i alienate everyone 😬😬

yesterday i was having this really deep convo with this aquarius girl i barely know (2 weeks-ish?) then after a while there's a lull in the convo and we just kinda look at our phones then lounge on separate couches and yet that was soooo COMFORTABLE for me and we don't cling to each other afterwards but just casually have lunch together when we happen to bump into each other. maybe it's my air house venus and mars.
