... Hard to resist not wanting to talk at least. He used to show up to bars and areas of town in the past to 'happen to run into me.' Though I don't go out anymore so in person he'd basically have to come to my job to eat which I just don't see happening....

i had a dream i was watching a real lyfe "fifty shades of grey" sort of scenario from the sidelines. anastacia had a hoodie saying "virgo" lol. her boyfriend (not grey) had a cancer hoodie. and grey didn't show up, but i assumed he'd have some gay scorp hoodie. so virgo and cancer were going at it and then a mexican man came out of the fridge and proposed a threesome. there was a very nice mmf montage scene then i woke up.
um ๐ does this happen in the books? ๐

Posted by EllygantOkay. I'm curious, how did you read that experience/statement?Posted by PhoenixRisingYeah idk. He was very leo heavy too. Last time I saw him I had reached out cause I was worried about him randomly. He told me 'I was surprised to hear from you, since, well you know... I was... kind of a dick to you.'Posted by Ellygant

From my experience Crabs tend to do that. They excuse it with "feeling hurt" and trying to protect themselves.Posted by Ellygant

From my experience Crabs don't tend to do this. Because they feel their emotional reactions are justified they don't believe there is anything they should be ashamed of, so they tend to come back around wondering why you're still so angry/hurt.click to expand

~Talking with friend who I ran into this morning~
Elly: Cool cool. Yeah I might be able to come. Do you mind if I bring a friend?
Pisces Dude: Like a chick friend or like a girlfriend or like a boyfriend?
Elly: guy friend. Why?
Pisces Dude: Oh... Like, dating?
Elly: What do you mean?
Pisces Dude: ... *looks nervous*
Elly: I don't see how it's relevant.
Pisces Dude: Well see actually, Crab might show up so...
Elly: So what?
Pisces Dude: Nevermind
Elly: Well now that things feel nice and weird I'll probably sit this one out. Y'all have fun though. ? *fuming on the inside*
That interaction is enough to make me drop every single one of our mutual friends. Fuck off. Know I'm overreacting and I'll calm down in a day but still. Fuck off.

I mean he was kind of a dick to me. When He said that I replied 'yeah you were.' He got panicky and tried to backpeddle till I told him that he was cold and specifically what in reference to, and that was what I found harsh. Then I told him that ultimately I didn't pass judgement because it wasn't anything I hadn't done to someone else before so I got it and that once the hurt passed I understood why. He got quiet and stared at me weird till I changed the subject.
I think it was his way of apologizing. And he probably didn't expect me to agree so it threw him off. My feelings changed over time though. I didn't feel the need to treat him with kid gloves in order to protect him like I did when I felt I needed his acceptance.click to expand

Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRisingBecause to me, them asking what type of plus one I'm bringing and then mentioning the crab makes the two related. To me, I don't really care why it matters to them. But I know for a fact based on past breakups within that friend group if the crab wanted to bring a plus one they wouldn't ask who or why of him.Posted by Ellygant

Why did you change your mind about going?
I strongly dislike not being granted that same freedom. If you don't question him, then neither should I. And if I am it shows that there's a hierarchy to friendships. And I just don't have the energy to navigate those minefields.click to expand

I get tired of being accused of hiding something whenever I'm trying hard to not burden someone new with all the neurosis and complications of my life currently.
Tell them and it's too much too soon.
Don't tell them and they weird out when you give a vague 'personal problems' answer.
Feels like a lose-lose. ๐...

Working alongside a fellow Stinger is such a pleasurable experience.
We brood together, we concentrate together, we respect one another yet at the same time challenge one another, we both instinctually know what the other needs, and we communicate with knowing looks, sometimes that is all that is needed, no word required. ๐
(He also happens to have a chart quite like our fiery Elle, in certain aspects.)


Posted by EllygantPosted by NatureBoyA few Scorpio readings from August mention Scorpios clearing out old relationships and connections that no longer serve them. I ended a few myself this past month as well. Normally I feel distraught when I do but I actually felt pretty great.
Just ended a friendship that was 22 years strong...His loyalty wasnt strong enough for me. Love my public journal lol
stopped being a ppl pleaser, fawk that feels soooooo good...love this roomclick to expand

Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRisingYou're good. I totally understand lol. I used to say nothing. Because in my mind there was no possible way to give an abridged and concise version. I did that with the crab a lot and he always thought I was hiding something sinister. When it was really just a shit ton of personal pain lol.
^^^There's more I can say, but my brain....I probably shouldn't have even replied until I could formulate my thoughts in a clear and complete way lol.
Now I just say it's personal stuff and leave it at that tho

Hmph. I swear I sat in my car today before heading to work and thought, "it's time to let go of people that aren't worth my energy anymore", then I blasted my music and hit the highway. It was the first time in months I didn't feel bad about moving on.click to expand


Posted by EllygantThe one who I am currently working alongside, is extremely quiet and introverted or so it seems but will constantly try to make me or my fellow Stinger laugh. This one constantly seems to want to get a smile out of everyone, but rarely talks. When he does, it never quite stops and it happens randomly about the strangest topics, out of the blue, when you least expect it.Posted by TheLadyScorpioThey're normally the first people I vibe with at a new job. Some are super quiet and introverted. Those that aren't are the opposite and talk soooo much and are hyper extroverted.
Does anyone here have any experience working alongside Water Bearers ?
Please kindly share your experiences, I would appreciate it. ๐
Most are hard workers, but in their own time. They can't be rushed or forced to do something they don't want to do. And they get away with it a lot because they're so good at what they do that management often overlooks their quirks.
Selective with helping. They like to help people who they like. People they don't like they'll ignore and not think twice of. And they really like bold and blunt types.click to expand



Posted by UnwordingPosted by EllygantI love it when you talk dirty.Posted by UnwordingLOL @ extra ingredient. ๐
Ok, so there's this Staffordshire-Pit terrier mix at the local shelter I volunteer at that I fell in love with (gotdammit) and want to adopt, however I have to get the boards approval, and I've already heard stories about them giving others a hard time over breed and size. So before I start flipping tables over, do I bribe them with brownies? I'm even willing to go the extra mile and throw in a magic ingredient. ๐
@Ellygant teach me your Cancer Moon ways.
Brownies are good. But for uppity types like that I'm more prone to mini cheesecakes. Nestle has a few good recipes that are tasty and fairly easy.
Sangria for the lush types.
Ask the front desk/doorman/building manager what their specific vices and weaknesses are and gift accordingly? Another reason why I always befriend the service people everywhere I go. They know these things lmao.

How do I pull myself out of this numb phase?
I feel so emotionally disconnected from everyone. I'm borderline depressed, and all I wanna do is just be by myself and cry.
No one will leave me in peace, not even for 10 minutes. No one senses anything about what I'm feeling.
I'm just so fucking tired.

Posted by PhoenixRisingI'm trying that.Posted by shaymaci

Maybe don't force the process? Rather than "pull" yourself out, give yourself permission to be sad and ride it out. It's a gentler process.
I am guessing you feel you need to rush the process because you feel you need to take care of the people around you, namely you Scorp?

He has no idea (to my knowledge) what I'm feeling. And it's not just him I worry about and fuss over. My son (he is 6 months old) demands all of my attention. Granted, my scorpio does take him off my hands a bit, but I'm a mother, so I'm never far.click to expand

Well maybe you can share it with your Scorp. It may help. At the very least he could help you out by allowing you to have a bit of time to yourself (in theory) although I can't imagine how given how young your little one is.
I'm sorry you're feeling that way.

Idk which is worse.
Waking up in the morning with an emotional hangover?
Or a dairy hangover because I tried to eat my feels..?
