ask me no questions....

I am currently living with a mid-twenties Pisces male, just roommates. I am very familiar with this personality, being a Scorpio, I have been involved with and friends with many of this sign. They sort of have a bad rap for being liars, which isn't really the case since really they just make shit up. They believe it to be true, therefore it is. It gets tiresome after awhile. I know any Scorpio reading this can attest to having built in lie/bullshit detectors, and probably get just as infuriated when someone is lying to you...and even worse, themselves. What to do? This guy is a great friend, and I hold back a lot of what I have to say for fear of hurting him. Is that hurting him more?

Everyday he comes home with a grand new idea that never gets followed through on, especially when people around him are accomplishing their goals. He tends to want to copy them. I sense his frustration as much as my own. Pisces being true nomads, especially young males, he's itching to split to avoid the realities of his life. I don't know what I'm really asking here. I'm just upset about not be able to tell him how I feel. I never know when to say something or just to butt out and let him learn (or not) for himself. Any thoughts?

What exactly is it that you want to tell him?

I'm just trying to understand btw, because I'm a tad confused by your post. Can you elaborate?

If you want to tell him how you feel, just do so. Seems like you're the one being wishy-washy, for whatever reason. Seems odd to me... maybe you've developed feelings for him, which complicates the "roomies" arrangement? That would also tend to make one try to be more careful of how and what they say to someone. Because otherwise, as roomies, I can't see any reason why you can't tell him how you feel...

But what is it you're actually wanting to communicate to him? For him to, shall we say, get his shit together.. be more like someone else, like your other friends that are "accomplishing" things? Word to the wise - pushing a Pisces to be something they're not will get you nowhere. Pisces tend to be way more stubborn than people realize. Yes, we change, mold, adapt, adjust... we evolve, transform, become... by our own choices. By someone else's? Not so much. Don't mistake Piscean compassion, sensitivity, and willingness to go with the flow as weakness or passivity. (Naturally, there are exceptions, but in general, the Pisces is the one calling the shots - because otherwise, they won't stay!) Pisces tend to be in control, their way or the highway, believe you me. They CHOOSE to accept (or not accept) certain things, CHOOSE to go along with things, CHOOSE to do things the way you want... but back a Fish into a corner and you'll see their little tail disappearing into the distant horizon, swish swish. Generally speaking, you won't direct or control a Pisces against their will, even if they let you THINK you're running the show.

As for the lying thing.. just LOL.. That again? A lot of people seem to think Pisces lie. Personally, I've never met a Pisces that qualifies as a big fat liar. Different viewpoint, sure. A vastly different opinion that makes no logical sense to the other person whose blood is boiling, uh huh. Their own way of looking at things that others might not agree with, much less understand, absolutely. Straight up lying, nah.

Lying to themselves? Maybe that's just how YOU see it, because they do not see the "truth" or the situation the same as you do. But on the other hand, I personally can talk myself into (or out of) anything. Is that lying to myself? Or is that my interpretation of a situation, so different from yours... and that what I CHOOSE to place importance on might be different than what YOU would deem important?

A Scorp is not a Pisces, and though similar, are actually quite different from each other in many ways.

Thank you for all your input. The Pisces in question here is gay, so no, there's no romantic interest. He is a very good friend and I am just concerned.

Seavixen, you are exactly right, and I sort of came to that conclusion last night....oh, a rhyme!
He is a very talented musician, but fails to really apply himself wholeheartedly. He often seems extremely scattered and only is really satisfied with his dreams, and yes maybe a little afraid to see his ideas come to fruit.
As with all water signs, we tend to feel everyone's emotions as much as our own, and with Scorpio and Pisces, even more so.
I want to help him as much as I can, even inviting other friends over that would possibly be able to help him work on his music and teach him how to execute what is in his mind. He lacks a great deal of discipline. We are getting a new roommate soon, a Capricorn friend who is also a musician, and who is very disciplined, diligent, and in my opinion will be a great influence on him. It does have to be his own idea, so all I can do is introduce them and hope that the new dynamic in our household produces positive results.

THank you all again...Everything's gonna be alright!

... and i'll tell u no lies!
