What is it about me?

People tell me things. Very personal things. They could be loved ones or strangers. I'm not surprised if someone I cared about divulged to me but over the course of my life I have attracted numerous, countless!, of random people who have JUST met me share their innermost world with me.

My bf gets a kick out of it every time I tell him of my latest encounter. I mean, this isn't just an occasional event. it happens very frequently and almost every time i go out to public places. not even just a bar where a drunk person might easily open up and spill their guts. they're usually completely sober.

This really hit me when i sat next to a guy at the venue i work for the other night. yes, he was sipping on a beer but it was his first because he had just gotten there (the lead bartender is a buddy of his so he told me). i literally just acknowledged his presence and not even 10 seconds go by when he's asking me if he could tell me something. i agree and he starts in telling me how he just moved up to my city from california because his wife/fiancee died a couple of months ago. he immediately starts bawling. no, not tearing up but streaming down his face. sure, it sounds normal because not much time has passed and of course he's still mourning the loss. however, he continued to tell me that he only cried right after she died and not a tear since then. he kept saying "i'm sorry, it's you" repeatedly.

so now i have that statement looped in my head. "it's me". what IS it about me then that this keeps occurring? like i said, it's been happening my whole life and i never really understood the reason. i have asked a couple of people i'm close with and they both claimed it's because i just give off the energy of being easy to talk to and confide in. i would like to agree except it doesn't make sense when total strangers do it. they don't even know the slightest thing about me! even when i sense that someone is approachable it doesn't mean i automatically assume i can regale to them my life story. any ideas?

Me too! :/

I wish they wouldn't. It's really uncomfortable.

What are your signs?

Yeah...is it the mars in Scorp AGAIN

I have some storiessssss

Haha

Only one involves bewbs lol

Just a set

For some reason there are people that I want to do this with but they are few a FAAAAAAAAAAR between. Recently, it was a Cancer. Put me at ease I guess.

So, what I mean to say is there is something about you that relaxes people enough to open up. That's a good trait I think.

I don't know why people do it. I guess I seem trustworthy...
mine range from a new girl at my old job divulging her personal life to me within two days to some random guy at the hotel getting all hysterical because his wife left him.

Me & the new girl at my old job rode together to lunch one day. 10-15 minutes down the road. In that time span, the second day she knew me she's telling me how she's had multiple abortions, had one baby and gave it up - would have aborted it to had she found out she was preggo sooner, but was on one of those 4 periods a year b.c. pills...
A month or so later she's telling me how she slept with one of the subcontractors and has to talk to his wife all the time when she calls his office...

Fucked up shit. I wish she wouldn't have. :/

We eventually had a huge falling out because I found out she was screwing a close family friend (married with 3 children,) and called her out. She denied it (which is dumb, because she knows that I know better.) It almost got physical between us before I resigned bc I couldn't work with her anymore.

Never used anything she told me against her. Although I could have seriously devastated her entire life if I was a dirtbag.
So, I guess in a way she was right in assuming I was trustworthy

People do this to my mom too & she's a leo also. (Sag rising and Sag moon.)

The guy at the hotel - he had been staying with us for like a week and I saw him down in the lobby, so I just casually said hey, you're still here...how are you doing?
I'm sorry I even asked.

He came over and started telling me about his wife and how she left him. They have a dog. He's letting her keep it. They had just lost a baby a few months prior. She was his whole life. He starts crying & apologizes. I mistakenly tell him it's no problem. He continues........lol

so, maybe it's not me at all then. maybe it's because people like us are simply approachable, and come off as non-judgmental, and there are a LOT of lonely people out there who just need someone to listen to them. or it could be the placements in my chart. i'm not sure which side to root for :/

For some reason i have the same problem, but only with men (women tend to not like me so stay away lol). Men always feel the need to open up to me and tell me their problems. I suppose i am quite empathetic, but I find it sooo annoying because no one wants to date their "counsellor" and it leaves me permanantly in the friend zone. Think i will have to start ignoring the guys i like lol

I doubt anyone would describe me as approachable with this bitch face. Ha 🙂
But I guess once someone sees how open I actually am, they feel at ease or something.

I'm
Moon in Leo
Venus in Cap
Mars in Scorp

?

or maybe it has to do with the houses. *sigh*

It happens. With complete strangers it's 'cos they know you'll never meet anyone they know to divulge the info.

With friends it's 'cos they know who you'll tell isn't someone that'll spread it around (yeah, they're not that naive).

I've spoken to enough scorpios (in-and-out acquaintances, never friends or proper acquaintances) to know that theirs is NOT a secretive sign.

They're just looking for WHO to tell is all.

Leos, sags, aries, gems, virgs and caps will tell you almost ANYTHING. No holes barred, them ones.

Pisces, Taurs and fellow aquas are closed books to me. INITIALLY, anyway (pisces peeps crack the moment we become friends).

Haven't met enough librans or cancers to comment.

Libras are actually pretty private. It's weird, you wouldn't think so

But so are cancers...and cancer chicks TMI me all the time.
It's kind of what I like about them though. No shame.

Yeah cause they're nosy little fucks. Even nosier than me....

Then you're like so what's your middle name? & they're like :X
