Need some advice from Pisces

My ascendant is Pisces and I really don't understand this part of myself. One of the things I struggle with is being in groups of people. I feel hypersensitive. In about two hours I'm drained. There is just so much going on around me. Then I have to go somewhere quiet and not talk or see anyone. It's even worse if their is someone angry or depressed in the room. I feel the anger or depressed before I see the person. It's almost like I absorb it. I know that sounds really strange. I don't know how else to describe it. So does anyone have any advice on how to deal with groups when your overstimulated by your environment? Do you take breaks away from people while you are at a party?

Most Pisces are touchy feely. Give them hugs and kisses and they are yours.

I minored in Astrology.

I do think that is what I am doing. It just can become overwhelming.

@Seagoddess-Thank you for the advice. 🙂
@pakmai- I've become more picky with who my friends are and who I date. It just wasn't worth constantly feeling negative all the time.

Thank you it does help a lot. Cancer sun and Pisces ascendant is pretty strong when it comes to intuition, moods, emphatic nature, or being a sponge. It's hard enough dealing with the moodiness of Cancer then I also have to deal with absorbing energy from others. So I tend to be very sensitive to my surroundings. It's hard enough dealing with all the moods and strong emotions but I've learned to adjust to those. I've learned how to control negative emotion in a constructive way. Now I just need to learn more about Pisces.

I always know when people are lying to me because I can sense and feel it. Unfortunately for my ex boyfriends who cheated on me they were not to happy about this. It's hard to cheat when your girlfriend can quickly sense that something is different based on energy and intuition. It's helped me in the long run and I'm grateful for that.

I guess the other positive is I can sense people's pain and understand their emotions. It makes me feel connected to others when I help them. I'm emotional but I think that is beautiful and I can help people understand emotion. Logic is important but so is emotion. I just need to know where to draw the line between helping someone and being taken advantage of.

Anyways thank you for the advice. It helps! 😄

You're a Cancer ..... take your shit over there.

If you're with groups, try to look for opportunities to break free for a short time. I'll do this from time to time at work, where I'll balance eating lunch with coworkers and going off on my own. Sometimes I'll go for a drive just to get some alone time at lunch. If you're at a part you can go to the bathroom, even if you don't have to. You can engage a smaller group outside. You can try to talk to just one person for a bit, to focus your attention.

Also, try to learn to embrace vs. fighting the energies you pick up. Try to talk to people. Learn to be there for them without getting overly involved. Let's say you meet someone at a party who's gong through something and confides in you. Happens to me all the time. Strangers or remote acquaintances. Be there in the moment for them. Just listen. Offer some advice should you choose to. You don't have to become their new best friend. Just being there for them for a short time might help you. You might feel their energy beforehand, or all the energy in the room, but if you focus on one person in conversation, and just absorb what they are giving you, this might help.

It's about understanding yourself more and understanding others. I have a lot of Pisces in me. I am learning more and more to embrace and channel, vs. spending energy on deflecting.

I really should be meditating more, with more focused, purposeful intent.

@Piscis_Hominis- Thank you for the advice. I like a lot of things you said in there. Makes sense and yes I too should be meditating more. I will try to focus on one person at a time. Thank you so much.

You just learn to deal with it. If you're not conscious of it will suck the life out of you and you will literally become another person. I've learnt to always enter a social scene with my light screwed on, confident in myself and to stay centred.

Any tips on controlling negative emotion? I'm a Pisces rising with a Scorpio moon. So I deal with feelings attacks from within and without.

you know that isn't a bad thing but it does affect - I know it well - you absorb and are empathic - read up on empathy (Karla McLaren is good or just start googling) to help you understand and then help you gain insight to overcome as much as you can - knowledge is power - you will never be absolved completely but if you study this it can be a tremendous tool. You are certainly not alone. There are many of us. I have gotten better by doing the research and working to improve myself.

Just listen to the initial gut feeling,not the ones that linger on after this, they are just stress and adrenaline because you had an initial gut feeling and started analysing it! X

I personally don't like crowded rooms full of strangers, feeling everything they are feeling, listening to all there problems cause they are discussing them openly with anyone who will listen, I'm thinking, jeez don't talk to me..bang! In my face suddenly chatting away, lol! I moan, but I do like to feel ive helped a little ? I should be used to it by now, then coming home feeling a little drained, wanting space to chill and everyone else wants my attention, I don't know, I just try to take it in my stride and spend every free minute with me, wether I'm doing housework, at work on my own, I'm off on another planet totally distracted. But getting on with what I need to be, bit recharging x

I cant tell you how much I love to be alone sometimes, its like having the biggest tub of your favourite ice cream, your favorite tv show on and the rain is pouring outside, while your safe and dry and cosy relaxing on the settee at one with yourself

.chillin!
