Pisces do you ever feel that you should be reacting to a situation but you are not? that you are detached from a situation even though it entirely involves you?
Pisces, do you ever feel detached...

Yea sometimes I do, its called being in a state of shock. For example, when my grandfather passed away 4.5 years ago and I felt detached at his funeral. Like only my body was there and numb with everything else.

Yep
Thnx Outcast n everyone.

Water People ....
Cancers depend on all others to support thier feelings for them
Scorpios use feelings as a weapon if emotions aren't reciprocated
Pisces completely dis-connect and will feel nothing

Like a light switch, MsP .... and this is something I think people truly don't understand about us. People come in here and are at their wits end because the Fish swam, and they don't understand what happened, how could it end just like that? And will become desperate in trying to win the Pisces over ....
And, it's near impossible to get someone to truly comprehend .. once we flipped the switch ... all associated feelings are erased.

Yet, when in the midst of feeling them ... it's so intense, breath-taking.

There was the book called,"The Other Woman" by Eric Jerome Dickey. He always states the characters zodiac sign in the story line. In this story, the couple(libra man and pisces woman) were having an argument. The husband couldn't understand why his wife detached her emotions in certain situations. For example, her beloved grandmother died and she didn't shed a tear during the funeral.
"Isn't scary guys, the way we can be so connected to our feelings and emotions, and then be able to turn as cold as ice, when necessary??"
I am a cancer and I do this a lot. Only its permanent. Pisces tend to go back and forth alot.

I don't know what you guys are talking about.
Scorpios feel very intensely, I guess they wouldn't have ever felt "detached" or "disconnected"...SuperScorp.It's like when we are in a different world, not affected by things going on around us.

Except for animals ... I can never dis-connect from them.

Oh, okay. Thanks for 'splaining, PM. I am trying to imagine...

Well they certainly don't cry when they don't get the job.
Wow- I'm glad I'm not the only Pisces who can do the flip thing....I can go from being very attracted to someone to not in a nano-second. I can turn off my feelings if need be. I lived with my ex for a year after we broke up, platonically, but nobody could understand how I could do it. I didn't pine after him at all. Once I see something doesn't work, or I'm disrespected, or see someone's cruel streak, or realize its better to not get involved, I'm done. Over and out.
Hello btw. Noob here. :B

Twilight fury, I Totally get the flipping ur talking about!!

I must say this thread was very helpful because I could relate to how she reacts in certain situations. She recently mentioned how when she's stressed out how she seems to shut down. Other times ill notice shell disappear from contact for weeks on end before hearing from her again. I worry about her because she moved away to a nearby state back in september for personal reasons and though there have been times when I just wonder if she forgot all about me cause I haven't heard from her in awhile - I realize its only because she just needs time to herself. She admits that she enjoys her solitude, cause it helps her think and reflect on her current status in life. I think she now regrets the choice she made but I always try to reassure her that I'm always here for her. I just don't know if I should just let her figure out things for herself or if I should maybe intervene based on the mixed messages I've been getting from her? Like on one hand, she doesn't want to force me to move because of her, but still wishes I were there with her all the same. Recently she had sent me a link to a recent poem that she wrote basically stating that she was having suicidal tendencies. I just don't understand how someone could move away give these mixed signals like that. Maybe she's indecisive of what she really wants, I dunno - it just seems that there's been so much stress built upon her from all these different aspects that it seems to be affecting her on a physical, mental, and emotional level.

"Recently she had sent me a link to a recent poem that she wrote basically stating that she was having suicidal tendencies"
I wouldn't worry about this poem, capvirgo ... it's normal for Pisces people to verbalize horrific feelings. If she's saying them (or writing) then she's able to rationalize what she felt, and so long as she is able to carry these feelings to thought, to process .. she won't kill herself.
I know you're worried to death about her and upset that she left. All your posts about her have clearly shown how dear she is to you, and I'm sorry that you're still in pain about her absence.
Hopefully, you'll be able to see her soon ๐. Perhaps, planning a move to be near her would help both of you in feeling sane and safe.

I am in a foreign country working for some months, and now I have to be with colleagues all the time, I almost dont say a word, dont have nothing to talk to them, I feel totally detached.
But theres another reasons to it, for many years when I just dont bear to be like I am, a nulity, not loved, not noticed, cant cope with problems, I just think and sometimes write I want to kill my self.
I wrote it yesterday, I was in hell.
On-topic: I would rather get hugs all the time, not just in goodbye or hello, And I dont have none of those.

Psychopathic behavior, at worst, for one who is sun Scorpio/moon Pisces?...
What is so good about sun Scorpio/moon Pisces?

How about Sun Pisces/Moon Scorpio?

Thanks P-angel. That does help to explain a lot. But on one hand I want to be there for her, but on the other hand I don't want to seem like I'm seeming like I'm trying to 'save' her either. I want her to be able to make her own decisions in life, but I don't want her to think that I don't care either. I'm just confused on where I stand with her sometimes, I know we had an amazingly wonderful relationship, but I sometimes wonder if maybe she would lead me on to keep from hurting me, but I've told her in the past that I would rather have her tell me it was over between us then keep me wondering where we stood. I have been working on a way to be well enough off to move closer to her, but she's in the process of moving but hasn't mentioned where so I don't know if she intends on telling me or just hasn't gotten around to that just yet. She has her moments of disappearing for up to a month on end and then shell come back and fill me in so I'm guessing this is probably what's up.

"I sometimes wonder if maybe she would lead me on to keep from hurting me"
Unfortunately .. this is highly possible. Most times when we break up with somebody, we just bail without telling the other person because we don't want to hurt them, eventhough that really makes no sense because whether we talk about it or not .. it's still hurting the other.
Mainly, what it is .... we fear watching, experiencing the pain of it. If we just swim away, then if the other starts crying because they are heart-broken, AND because we can "sense" other peoples feelings as if they are our own .. we just leave so we won't be broken also.
That's really selfish of Pisces people .... as compassionate as we like to think we are .. we leave people to suffer alone, so we don't have to suffer with them, for what we did to them.
I'm sorry on behalf of our kind for the way she is treating you ๐ข

THAT IS ONE OF MY FAV. BOOKS!!! A Good Read

Very much so .....especially when I am challenged with something very emotionally challenging. Perhaps coping mechanism .....better to feel nothing than anything at all. Felt this way when my mum passed away .....and just this last year .....went through a very hard time ......and simply detached .....did not communicate with friends and family as much and did not care about others as much. I am still somewhat detached as I try to get my life on the right track again. My theory it is our coping mechanism .......I just want to be left alone.
PD

"I just want to be left alone."
ME TOO! By everyone! I don't know, it just seems like everyone I know tends to make huge demands on my time all at the SAME TIME! It's at these times that I turn off that damned phone, pull all the blinds, fill up the tub with bubbles.....and cry. lol

Hugs to all Pisces! Feel like hugging my Picses friend too, he has been detached for a month since his birthday.
After reading so much explanations, now it makes more sense to me why Pisces distant themselves. Kinda slow ya. haha... But at least I got a clearer picture. Compassionate and cold...now I get it.
Sucidal thoughts? No no. The world may not be as perfect as one wish...but it's still beautiful. Depends on how you see it. There's still warmth and love around...enough for everyone in the world.

P-angel,
One thing I don't understand though is that we went through this whole plan and everything before she left. She really didn't want to go and I even got to see her softer side as she broke down beside me, which is something she admits that she doesn't express often in public, as she's otherwise known to supress her emotions. Plus I've already told her that if she were insistant on ending our relationship, it wouldn't take much for her to email me or text me without actually having to communicate with me directly. I mean I would think it would be more selfish to be in a secret relationship and leading me on at the same time. Its a strange situation, cause on one hand I could be taken for a fool here, but on the other hand it could just be all in my head and I really might not have anything to worry about at all.
