Do you think that very insecure Scorpios who are afraid to be hurt will resort to very destructive behavior in new relationships with people they really like and feel vulnerable with?

Does it go to the level that you would almost rather lose someone than take the risk?

then you drive them off and regret it?

I think scorps with fire placements are more prone to this. From what I've noticed. They're the ones that actively work to sabotage a relationship. Earthy and watery ones tend towards self destruction more, imposing their poor choices on themselves which drive people away in a more passive way. Airy scorps tend to just be distant and stand back waiting on the other person to logic read their mind lol.

I used to self destruct. In relationships I typically withstood more than I should from the bad ones. Instead of taking my rage and pain out on them or the relationship I took it out on myself trying to 'save' it even when it shouldn't be. In a way I was continuing this chaos and creating a cycle of pain for myself. Only when I gave up on the relationship did I implode in a way that affected everybody involved in a finally F you moment. Luckily I've come a long way and now I just cut them off and don't bother giving as many chances. Thus breaking this destructive pattern. A part of me justified it in in the past thinking that as much happiness I got I needed pain and that the person was worth suffering for...I was weird no doubts lol.

I like living without this cycle makes life better.

This honestly sucks that Scorpios do this... 😢 I miss my Scorpio and fear that this is the reason why he called things off with us even though things were progressing so positively well. I only hope he does enough self-reflection, and grows spiritually and emotionally so that he realizes this is what he is doing...(self sabotage). 😢

You could try calling him on his bullshit
