Avoiding conflict, sending someone else to do your dirty work

Im not sure if thats a scorp thing...I myself always try to avoid conflict BUT sending someone else to do my dirty work is out of the question,....I wouldnt be able to live with myself let alone look myself in the mirror if I did that......Scared or not REAL men stand on their own two feet

Why? Cause Ima "big picture" kind of guy and most conflicts are usually just a total waste of time, no real threat...just wasting my time...Its rare that ppl really run into "real" conflict, like my life or a love ones' life in danger for example...if thats the case for me then im all in, all hands on deck .....

That's a good point. I guess, I think of conflict in the sense of just approaching someone with an issue. If something is bothering me I speak up, not necessarily rude, or I try not to be. You know, a discussion about whatever is going on.

Scorpio's don't like conflict the first Scorpio she would avoid it with others but.... when they are close to you they don't avoid conflict they will fight back. The signs that avoid conflict are Gemini's they have to be the worst for running away from their problems.

Cancer's or myself don't like conflict but I don't back down if push comes to shove I stand my ground I've gotten into screaming matches I really don't feel that good afterwards. Water signs in general but we don't back down when we get shoved but we are not into fighting.

Today for instance I had a guy get in my face all huffy I'm thinking to myself I don't need to get in a squabble I just dealt with it in a civil manner. Most guys that want to get in my face back off when they realize hmm we better not screw with him.

Aries have to be the worst for conflict one of my buddies he's an aries man he loved fist fights in his younger years.

I don't know, but the one has his SO approach people with issues instead of himself. I usually respond that he needs to tell me if he has an issue otherwise I will keep doing it. Other times when I see it is causing a huge riff, I will stop just to make sure SO doesn't have anything happen because of Scorp.

The other guy seems to beat around the bush a d see things "nicely".

The girls I know are just blunt. They can butter it up a bit, but only a little.

hell no!
for the most part a scorpio will ignore you until you've brought conflict to
their front door, then we have no problem confronting you. you were spared up to that point.

Not with this particular scorpio. I think it's weak. But maybe that's his way of doing what you say. I would

Instead of psychoanalyzing all the people around you based on star signs it might be a good idea to look at yourself and see why so much conflict is coming up.
Lol. It really isn't us. The dude is a control freak. Someone could do what he asked and it still wouldn't be right. If he didn't do it to others that is definitely something I would question.

Could be a beta male thing lol
click to expand

lol i like how there's so many articles on beta vs.alpha:

http://thepopularman.com/beta-male-traits-and-characteristics/
Beta Male Traits

Lack of Assertiveness

Beta males typically lack assertive behavior. They get taken advantage of or donโ€™t experience the benefits that come from assertiveness and even aggression (like in a business sense).

Most beta males are passive or passive-aggressive. They will often take insults or criticism lying down. Emotionally this can well up and create problems. This is the dark side of beta male passivity: passive-aggressiveness.

For example, Iโ€™ve known beta males who refuse to tackle issues directly for a variety of reasons. However, the anger is released. Itโ€™s just released in more unhealthy ways like punching walls, treating family members badly (or violently), or getting secret vengeance on the target (like slashing tires).

Follower Mentality

Beta males are usually the followers of society. Theyโ€™re definitely not the top dogs in the social hierarchies. It probably relates to the previous point. Positions of power arenโ€™t typically filled by guys who donโ€™t seek them. Beta males donโ€™t aggressively seek power so they rarely find it.

While alpha males typically forge their own paths and create trends, beta males are those who follow in alpha footsteps. I know a guy who only uses his Facebook page to promote others: musical artists, sports teams, and politicians. Theyโ€™re the alpha males; heโ€™s the beta.

Beta Male Characteristics

Prototypical Nice Guy

โ€œNice guys finish lastโ€ is an unfortunate, but many times accurate, phrase. Itโ€™s not that nice guys are a bad thing. Itโ€™s just that, lacking the drive and aggression to โ€œwinโ€ most nice guys end up out of the winnerโ€™s circle.

Beta males are the prototypical nice guy: passive, non-assertive, follower, etc. They might be content with this role in some ways. However, never being at the top at work, in sports, and with women, can be frustrating.

^^^ That is very true and quite funny in a sense, however a confrontation or so ago... where a guy had used his truck to try and run my wife and kids and I off the road in our car, led to him getting an ass whippin.. I went to jail for assault

I know the guy and KARMA can be a BITCH

I used to be quite aggressive and confrontational (still am slightly), but have to take the higher road now days and pick and choose confrontations wisely... I canot get into anymore legal trouble / assault charges.

Trying to show good parenting, guidance, leadership to my boys means I had to make some self analytical changes.

In my experience scorpios don't do well with conflict/Confrontation's, they cause/create the conflict then run away when it comes back on them.

As an aries I don't shy away from it or back down, unless proved wrong lol. However I'm less confrontational now I'm in my mid 30's compared to younger years.

I used to tend to avoid conflict at all costs. I've always been known as 'the sweet/kind/nice' girl. I hate making people angry or upset. So normally I'd just get dumped on, overlooked or bulldozed. I didn't ever ask anyone to fix my problems, I never even brought them up to others. But on occasion, normally after months of escalation, others would start to notice and try to fix the problem with the person since I obviously wasn't doing anything about it. Even still, I'd say one out of a dozen times others would do something.

But I eventually got tired of being taken advantage of, being crapped on and bullied. There are some dirtbags that shit on you just because you're a person who will take it. I got some great advice from a Capricorn and Libra Lady about not being concerned with how others perceived me and being more concerned with the quality of life I wanted in my work and relationships. So now I'm slowly getting better at addressing conflict, handling my business and taking care of things myself.

I think it's also an age thing too maybe. The women who gave me advice said that as I started to get older and closer to my thirties I wouldn't care as much about the perception of others and they're totally right.
So true! It's funny how some people never appear to give a shit about what others think and how others either just need the time to grow into it, while others never stop. I think I care depending on who they are. I don't want to put on a fake front, but I don't like to be misunderstood. Sounds like some pretty good advice you received.

He probably just knows what's needed from everyone so he's trying to put things in place to make it work. Allot of the time when people don't like being told what to do its because they feel threatened by the person doing so. So you are actually in a competitive state with him and perhaps he's trying to get an edge over you. It might even be working.

He may think it is working, but I straight up told him that I would do my best to some of what he asked, but that I would do what I thought was best. Not saying all of my opinions and knowledge is correct, but I know a whole lot more on the subject matter than him. I can respect what he says, but doesn't mean I agree. Plus, in order for him to even talk to me about it I had to mention through the grape vine information....super lame.

I am a confrontational person. However, I have become more willing to evaluate the situation first. I may even throw what happened around to certain people to get a different perspective since I know I can be dramatic. I will say something though.

Scorp broke up with me once by text and the next time by email. Just sayin....
super lame...no balls
Yup, my sentiments exactly. No reason for it. We had no disagreements and no firefights. He could have just told me to my face. SMDH.
click to expand

He should have. Text and email is worse than what I did.

I broke up with someone over the phone once. I knew it wasn't going to work and didn't want to spend the day pretending with him in front of my family. I felt bad about it and should have done it to his face. he told me he was going to do it the next day if we were going to hang out.
