I guess I will like to hear all 3 water signs opinion on this. Recently I was exchanging emails with another fellow DXP member and we kind of talked about deep emotional connections between water signs and spoken and unspoken communication and all the things that could go wrong??_ and how bad the hurt would be in those cases, since is not simply superficial??_ with that being said I will like to assume that everybody here believe in emotional connections do exist and for so we are discussing over that assumption. If you don't believe in that —crap?? please continue your journey to other post??_
One of the things we water signs share is deep connection with our emotions and intuition (ones more than others) and what make us different is simple the way we deal and protect them??_ some other placement in our unique chart will make us react different to a situation where our feelings get compromised.
Now here is are questions in regards of my dilemma after this assumption. I want to be able to gauge the same reactions from the different water signs to a particular situation.
1-How often do you trust your intuition?
2-What will make you doubt those feelings?
3-What will make you not act on gut feeling?
4-Have you ever feel like a big conflict between what you inner self, wants vs ego/self preservation?.
5-How far are you willing to risk in order following you heart/intuition/gut feeling.
6-How often your emotions rule your decisions.
7-How often your hurt feelings prevent you from seeing the facts and reason.
8-How often you imagine all sorts of scenarios in your head about a particular situation.
9-How many times have you coincidentally ignore your emotions of feelings.
10-How often you feel like your inner self is telling you to act some way and you much rather listen to other people instead.
11-What will you do if everybody is telling you to give up, but something inside you is asking you to keep trying?
12-Do you think that something might be an intuition thing or more simply stubbornness to accept that sometimes you cannot win them all

I ask all this because, I'm conflicted between listen to my inner self that is telling me to act certain way like if it will certain of the outcome??_ I don't know if my inner self picks up things that my mind has been blocked, or go by what other people has told me because it make sense (is reasonable).

Some people are capable to connect with us in not physical ways, and there is unspoken communication between both of them that our ego and self preservation try to make us doubt in order to avoid getting hurt. In those cases sometimes I feel things that I cannot explain in with logic, and I don't talk about with other people fearing that might think I'm crazy, but I wonder if the other person you feel connected to feels too??_ and that leads me to the next issue, the easy way in those cases is simply asking the other person??_ but why we water signs have such a hard time communicating verbally??

Asking instead of spending copious amount of time torturing ourselves creating all this crazy scenarios in our head that we have no prove to??_ is funny because I??ve been like that most of my life, hiding my feelings for protection, but recently someone forced and helped me (in nice ways) to communicate and 9 out 10 times I??ve realized that all my doubts and concerns where simply in my head, and in a way that made me want to keep communicating more because in many ways it saves me the pain and the time on writing all this stories in my head??_ I kind of made a conscious decision to sort of stop trying to control the outcome and lose the fear of things not going the way I want or expect??_ and knowing that there might be a chance that I get hurt, but I will rather to know things as they are. Most of the times are not as bad as I have though??_

Is all this between u and one other? Or many people.
I experienced it with one person or maybe I was more I tune with him but can happen with others just not as intense.



While there was a particular person which whom I experienced this situations, reality is that during that relationship, I've let all those situations described above ruin the relationship, after some time and perspective now I've question myself in general about how should've acted instead of let things go to the toilet... but as pluto said there is also an external factor, in which if I decide to go about my life being true to myself... there is a high chance the other person is not, and there is nothing you can do or say about it...

The issue come to my head when someone here asked me privately why is it so hard our relationships other water signs, since we can connect emotionally better than with others, but most of the time that connection is so intense that we get scare of it.

I have loads of water in my chart too and tend to go with my gut feeling. When I ignore it something crappy always happens. Only if I listen to other people do I second guess myself. The only thing I haven't quite got the hang of is knowing if feeling is predicting good or bad. I just know something significant will happen and usually does.

I used to sometimes make decisions whilst being in an emotional state, more so when I was younger. Not so much now, self preservation kicks in and I try to be more logical.

I also find I'm quite sensitive to other peoples feelings and moods.

Intense connections are terrifying to me as I know that's when I'm at most risk of getting hurt. Because I'm at my most vulnerable.

There are some times when I have blind faith in myself, like I'm working on a cloud and I know preemptively that my intuition and luck will not fail me, then there are other times when I don't feel energized and in these cases my intuition works 50/50 (which means it's totally randolm).
When in doubt use your best logic and reason and be wary of your gut instincts. When you are on a power vibe use your intuition and your instincts.

1- very rarely
2- the behavior of the respective person
3- the behavior of the other person or a dedication to adhere to socially appropriate standards and expectations
4-No
5-If it aligns with my principles and is altruistic in nature then I'd sacrifice everything.
6- About 30 percent of the time. I'm getting better at rationalizing and using empathy in matters of conflict or in other non conflict based problems.
7 Never in my opinion they are always aligned. Hurt feelings are not proclivities to some people who are just extremely sensitive but to anyone who is neglected , abused or taken for granted.
8-If it something that I aspire to have such as relationship, a job , or project..dozens of times a day.
9- If they are negative and are based in my pessimism or fear then I try to avoid them as much as possible. Although I could see how that could be acting to my detriment in some respective close relationships.
10-I always ultimately follow my heart. It's the only way I could live myself.
11-Never give up. If you yourself believe that no action on your part can be taken to further your interest then turn to divine intervention but never give up hope for some sort of resolution. Even if we don't get what you initially want be positive and know that the understanding will come of how what you might initially wanted might have not been the best for you and could have acted as an impediment of you receiving something better. But in the process never give up hope for happiness.
12I'm not sure. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm currently in a situation where this issue seems very relevant but I'm hopeful and I happily wait for some sort of resolution to this particular situation. I'm very blessed at least in a material sense. I've always gotten what I wanted for the most part. I've always gotten better in the situations where I didn't..after relinquishing the belief that doing anything physical could help me in those circumstances and asking for divine help ( the miracles in my life so to speak).

12.)umm what do you mean by this question? by "win them all"? I think that it is my intuition that tells me to be kind to myself, and not be a crowd pleaser. because I have a habit of doing that.



That I meant by "we cannot win them all" is when we fight so hard to get something in life but as much as we try, and something with in us is telling us to keep trying... but when is not happening after much trying, when that becomes more like stubbornness and denial to realize not always you are going to get things you fight for...

@adreamuponwaking last question:

You know is interesting all my life I been so passive because I wonder you should be patiently wait, but maybe sometime action is require to get the ball rolling... seating and wait is doesn't suit me well not...
you right material things, are easy.. I'm also lucky and bless I ve been able to get everything I want some things take longer than others... but relationship wise I been more like passive and waiting for others to take action... and lately I've been wondering if I do, when is the limit...

If you're not at peace about doing something then don't do it. Don't do something because you feel like you can't wait for the situation to reveal itself. It will happen in due time. Every time I've taken an action that I was conflicted with from the get go because I felt I was being too passive I've regretted it. It just led to more confusion , false hope and ultimately heart ache. It's always made situations worse and blown up in my face. Conversely when I turned that attention inward and took actions that were focused on bettering myself (instead of reaching some clarity with a romantic interest or a relationship that needed repairing) I found the peace and patience I needed to endure the confusing and uncertain times and I've always come out on top with a deeper understanding of myself as well as others and have been better in the way I loved myself as well as others.
