the thumbnail description of pisces on the mainpage of this site is a literal description of myself.
i feel strange saying to people how sensitive i am-because it implies they are NOT.but my sensitivity to everything (not just emotions) is responsible for much of my "brilliance" (i am a performer/writer/artist-what else) is also the source of all my pain,insecurity and alienation.
any insight would be appreciated. a also walk around the planet wondering if i was accidently left behind by a spaceship and 'm just here waiting to return home

the curse on pisces, is that
"that which makes us stronger, is also our greatest weakness"

to some degree. positives are negatives. constant battle to see things in an equal light from others, to ourselves. understand? i'm not sure i do... it makes sense as i start to write it, then i get lost in the words.

anyways... JR, i know how you feel. The curse has a hold on me as well. All i can say is you have to try and enjoy it. Embrace it as part of who you are. As uniqueness... it's tough at times, but then, anything worthwhile is! 🙂 just know you aren't alone!

you say being a pisces is a curse. B/c your so sensitive. where do you think your writing comes from. being sensitive means learning and adapting. If you ask me our mood swings are a curse.

I totally agree! I am a college student...I often feel entirely in solitude in such a mass of people. Campus life sucks for me!! What's wrong with me...where do I belong?

I felt that way too when Iwas in college. Totally alone and isolated. It was a combintaion of shyness, insecurity and lack of self-confidence. I didn't feel like I fitted in. I felt like I had things to say, passions I wanted to talk about - but didn't know how to, because it would have meant stepping away from the crowd. People say college years are the best years of yor life - but I didn't experience that. I was watching everyone else have fun. But what I relised was that - everyones experience is different. Wher does it say we all have to have the same life-story. I was pretty miserable for ages and after my friends moved away I was kind of left on my own, which is gut-wrenching to say the least, but it gave me time to think. I realised that I CAN be on my own, and very often it is only when we step back and look at out lives, we can see what negastive patterns we have fallen into and can change them.It has taken me a long time to change my thinking, but I think I have managed to.

Good Luck

indeed. being a pisces can be a curse as well as a gift. However, we are never boring. There is so much drama in our life, it's like a continuous broadway production.
i see the highest highs and lowest lows _ tears, joy, euphoria, depression, etc. But a person can be never find a better friend than a fussy fish. Oh, how i love all pisces. Alas, there are so few pisces in my city. Where are all the pisces. Are there any in virginia or the southern united states.
