Hey fellow Pisceans! Quick question:

Have any of you ever felt the sensation that you wanted to be around someone, and then when you ARE around them, you immediately want to pull away? If so how did you deal with it? Is it because of prior emotional damage? Not knowing what you want?

Just trying to understand myself, it happens every so often with different people.

Thanks for the insight!

I'm not sure, that's what I'm trying to figure out hahaha. I've tried thinking about it, but I keep falling short and don't have an answer myself... so I'm wondering if anyone has had the same experience 🙂

Wanting something isn't the same as having it .... there's an excitement in the anticipation of being with the person, and that yearning is more fulfilling than actually being with the person.

Oh yesssss!!!!! I get this alot with a guy I like. Like when we're away I want to be with him so bad, but when im there I Half feel like I just want to run away

I'm starting to think it's related to emotional vulnerability. Almost like when we're with them it's more in your face - so you want to pull away more because your scared.

Because I think deep down we know what we want, just when we have it in our hands we actually have to deal with it. And being pisces we're so good at dreaming hahah

Ah my God so much so much. I still feel something for my cancerian ex. Strong feelings even a year later.

I literally yearn for his text. When I don't have enough work to do or I'm just sitting ideal during holidays I check back to see if he has texted or not. Or even during my work breaks when i am busy and when i feel emotionally low. It's this strong intense adrenaline gush whenever i see him online and when he goes off without texting or stays online for a while and doesnt text ,i abuse him badly on my mind lol xD

But when he does text me of his own,the adrenalish gush comes down and I realize I am not as enthused anymore to respond to him. I take my own gala time to text him back xD _-_

Maybe it's the basic normal human psych thing that people want to have what they feel they don't have and once they have it they aren't as interested as they were.
