im not emotional, but i don't lack dimension. i do feel for people and have compassion. i just dont get soppy with it. i believe my actions show where my heart is. im not good with mushy talk nor do i feel comfortable around people who are overemotional. it feels strange. i guess as a scorpio im supposed to let my feelings flow, but my capricorn venus and aqua rising keeps me reserved. i guess something has to really grab me in order for me to show an outburst of emotion. otherwise, it's a weakness. i'd rather keep myself under control and composed.

I think it's a weakness for those with the heavy water placements, but the friends of those people benefit from feeling understood and accepted. The person with emphasized water doesn't necessarily get this in return, and definitely is in no way guaranteed to come out "stronger" or on top. Emotions can drown you, and it's in no way a good thing for the person experiencing this suffocation, which is why water dominants are known for substance abuse. From an outside perspective it's a strength if the other person is similar or just has an appreciation for emotional depth, but for the person feeling it internally and usually with no way of expressing it(or at least with no way to not sound irrational or annoying) it's a burden for sure.

yes a struggle for sure, but I think also a blessing.
