More Materialistic than Capricorns
Posted by ellesbellesBut what's your reaction like once it does get fucked up? Are you cool about it or do you freak out?Posted by stillstillwater
Just saying we have the reputation of being materialistic but scorpios are way more materialistic than Capricorns. We like to have nice things but don't sweat it. Scorpios like to have nice things but will just be psycho about maintaining it.
For example, one Scorpio friend took out a rag and started wiping the dashboard of her car while I was there to clean it and another Scorpio friend will freak out if any of his stuff gets stains. Whereas I had a Cap friend whose car I borrowed and when I was pulling up to the drive way I put the window down and started baby talking to his dog and his dog ended up jumping to the window and scratching the door. His reaction was just merely like "oh no!" (wihtout any anger and never brought it up or anything) but no anger and no fuss unlike Scorpios. I just can't even imagine what a Scorpio would do in that instance. Whereas I was using a Scorpios washing machine and just turning the knob on a different setting had him in a fuss because he thought it was broken. Lord...
So yeah you guys are way more materialistic than us
I agree. It's worse when we have libra venus.
Is it materialistic though?
I dont go out of my way to hoard expensive stuff...but those things that I do splurge on, I do like to keep them nice. I am very frugal and do not like paying for things twice.
Plus, if something gets ruined....I lose all attachment to it. It's like I dont care about it anymore. I even give stuff away if its scratched or tarnished in some way. I'm completely over having to have it if someone has treetrunked it up. click to expandclick to expand
Posted by UnusualVaginalDischargeyes that is materialism because you care more about THINGS than your reaction affecting PEOPLE.
It’s not materialism, we just like our things a certain way and to remain in optimal condition for long time use.
I hate getting my clothes dirty—I find that irritating because I don’t want to have to go shopping for more. I keep my clothes for a long time
THINGS > PEOPLE = MATERIALISM

That’s not materialism
I don’t value objects more than I value people
I’ll only get upset—I’m not going to have a tantrum over it and I’m not going to kill someone over a dirty shirt
You’re extreme and assume too much click to expandclick to expand
We are all materialistic creatures. Don't let anyone tell you different. And if they do, lets see how long they'd last without their car, phone, internet, etc.
Personally I don't care for things that don't have much functionality and only exist because they're expensive or fancy. If I worked my rear off for those things that I do value though I would be disappointed if something happened to them, simply because of the effort lost. Depends on what it is. And please don't 'borrow' things from me without at least asking first! Generally things with sentimental qualities have more value for me, things with shared value between myself and someone else especially. Irreplaceable and priceless!
Posted by UnusualVaginalDischargeI have a really gut idea for you.

There's a thing called a washing machine. And i tell you, it's incredible, when your clothes are dirty, like in your example above, you put them in this machine and it washes them for you, saving you time and money spent on rummaging through clothes stores.
It even shares your philosophy of keeping clothes pristine for a long time, all you have to do is select "gentle wash" programme.
Posted by UnicornSagLooks like ground for suing him and the insurance company can pay up.
I hope you don't take it personally but I had to share the story.
My ex Cap dated another girl shortly after we broke up who he said is his fiance...and for being so he gave her his car to drive. Car is a racing car on slick tyres if you know what it means. We have really harsh winters sometimes and it can be really cold and snowy and that happened in such time. He never drove his car on winters but for whatever reason he gave car to her to drive it. I told him about it literally this "You really hate her and want her to die, huh?" And ofc he joked and laughed about it but what a surprise, just few days after she had terrible car accident, completely destroying his car, she ended up in hospital with very serious injuries. I was shocked when he said she's getting a loan from bank to pay him off for the car! Then he changed the story from giving it to her as his fiance to that he was in process of selling the car to her. What was the truth idk but seriously, taking money from your gf for a crashed car when she got serious injuries and it was your fault for giving her car in completely bad tires for the weather?
I got nothing to say about Scorp lol
Thank you for the folks who stepped up to their flaw and accepted it. Hey, we all have them,ok!
But shame on you others who just tried to weave words to make it sound about something else "we value our stuff..." Yes exactly STUFF hence materialistic. Stop putting a spin on it to make yourself sound fucking honorable.
It is what it is.
Just own up to it and I promise you'll feel much better AND a nice bonus that you'll be one step closer to understanding yourself that much more.

They cant/wont own up to it. Emotional attachment essence my ass. They are jealous about other people's possessions/life and they will bury themselves in debt and mess up relations for their envy.
Posted by fishcrabscale2Exactly my point. They're so upset about their material possessions that they won't even care about whether their reaction is healthy and how to express it in a healthy way. They'll blow up. lol. Then they'll come on here and be like it;s sentimental...bla bla and use some more emotionally charged words. It's like yeah sentimental to your wallet.

I have a Scorpio friend who I love dearly and pretty much she loves me but every time i have some good news or I'm building my home up she'll get all teary eyed/sad/jealous. *rolling eyes*
Regardless she supports me and I support her but with that kind of reaction I'm just like next time I'll just keep it to myself.
Before the fangs come out (yes i'm scared of y'all lol)... i'm not saying they're bad people in general but they def have their own agenda and they'll try to cover it with some emo BS like they really care. I LOVE how they think everybody else is too dumb to see it too.
I need to create a Scorpio Truth thread where we just talk about their ugly side instead of all the "Scorpios are so sultry..." shit lol 😛
Posted by UnicornSagWell ...although not most chivalrous thing to do for a man (not checking the car for safety) we cannot overlook the fact that she's an equally responsible party in this given that she's an adult and is also responsible for her safety.Posted by stillstillwaterI don't know her sign really. Well I know only his side of the story so it's possible he could have changed the story in some ways to maybe make me jealous or something? We did date right before that just few months and we kept talking as friends for quite some time after...His initial story was he gave her car cause she's his fiance...but after crash he said she was supposed to buy the car from him. I'm not sure I believe either of the stories but whatever happened it's truly his fault in all that. Like I said he never drew that car in winter cause it wasn't adjusted for the winter conditions here and he gave it to her to drive in most worst weather it could be :/ I don't know why he did it, could have simply give it to her when spring comes and none of that would happen. click to expandPosted by UnicornSagPosted by stillstillwaterPosted by UnicornSag

Those things are not to be justified, in my mind he's guilty as charged for this incident since he knew what's he giving her and she had no idea what's she receiving. He was too nonchalant about the whole thing click to expandclick to expand
Posted by UnicornSagukhhh ugly!Posted by stillstillwaterI doubt that was a scenario, he was definitely hiding something...either he actually sold her car or he didn't care for her at all, something had to be up in order for him to even take the car out of garage in winter. As soon as the season started he would park it and never take it out until season ends. Girl was quite older than him, over 30 I think so I don't think it was about tantrums, she was just going to work with car, didn't drive it much around and it happened about 200m from her building actually. I didn't say more to the story cause it wasn't relevant to possessions but maybe that's why I see it as worse than you do. He also cheated on her while she was in hospital... click to expandPosted by UnicornSagPosted by stillstillwaterPosted by UnicornSagPosted by stillstillwaterPosted by UnicornSagPosted by stillstillwaterPosted by UnicornSag

hm quote messed up. lol
i think in my case, my husband gets really really pissed if i mess up his expensive suits. lol
and his really really expensive PC/ all electronic ect. wihch he always gets really the best, he will try to look for some bargains but usually no.
so i have to be extra careful of everything. i dont even do ironing or anything like that. i just take his suits to the drycleaners and the only time he was laughing at me was when i tried to sew the comforters/bedsheets when i wanted to keep it as sentimental value. lol

The most materialistic sign is Taurus, not Cap. However, yes, we are materialistic too.

They always find a way of twisting things to fit their view. For all the passion and intensity attributed to this sign, i find more screwups in real life. That quote "some people create their own storms and get upset when it rains" must be about them. They are envious and go to great lengths to get something (misdirected passion, not thinking thru all possible consequences) and screw themselves over. And oh poor them.. Their lives are full of tragedy and drama of their own creation.

I’m sure there’s something you care about that you’d be mad someone messed up. Nobody’s perfect 🤷♀️ How’s that for honesty?
Posted by HoovesofTopaznot everything is replaceable - I've picked up many one of a kind hand made things all over the globe - I won't let my Cappie neighbor friend near those things as she is a cluster fuck - she just rips into shit trying to figure things out and tough it all over and then it breaks and she drops and spills stuff all the time - she has absolutely no patience - can't believe she's a freaking architect - it's very hard these days to invite her over to my house
Definitely. That’s how I maintain my nice things 👍
If it gets messed up then I’ll be disappointed, but at the end of the day anything materialistic is replaceable.
Posted by LaMadrinaI agree totally. One thing mother did teach me was to take care of my things and they would last. I've had the same stuff for so long and it still gets raves and looks brand new.
Sounds like we just like to take care of what we have, no matter how much or how little. It's not being materialistic. It's taking care of the property. I don't care if my shirt is 3 dollars or 3000. I still don't want stains.
Caps are materialistic, meaning always seeking new things to buy. Nothing is ever enough.

Posted by ellesbellesI’m screaming lmao that reminds me of when I took the last of my Scorp brothers white rice. My brother has a very strict meal routine, simply bc he doesn’t like to try new foods, so he always has white rice with anything that needs a side.
About four years ago, I got in a horrible argument with my Virgo son (he was in his early twenties) because he ate the last yogurt. I was on a very strict diet and only bought enough to keep a regimen. He had his food I bought and I had mine. Well, one night he was up in the middle of the night and ate all three containers of yogurt and didn't even leave me one. So, it was Wednesday morning and I'm starting my morning routine and there was no yogurt for the rest of the week. I flipped out....lol. My routine was now treetrunked! Of course, Virgo justified with "ffs! It's just yogurt" instead of just acknowledging what he did and offering a solutuon, which made it worse.
.....fast forward to year later when he moved out and got a roommate with my chart (lmao)....I reminded him of the yogurt "incident" and he laughed..."We already went thru it. I know"
.....fast forward to present day....I was at his home and his wife made dinner. I seen two different kinds of garlic bread and took the one I wanted, which was the last (only) piece of that kind.
Finding out soon after I ate it....that she made special for him. LMAO. I felt so bad!! So, I apologised profusely....and three days later it was still bothering me. Well, I sat him down and said, "We need to talk about the garlic bread. I think we are even now because you ate my last yogurt."
lol
#ScorpioPossessivenessFTW
I ate it and the storm that came next. He BLEW UP. Brought up the fact that I (at the time when I was in middle school) had an F on a report card in front of my parents.
Our parents are Caribbean soo.. bless me
Although that pissed me off immensely bc I trusted him in telling him about the F, I got over it. He however didn’t get over the rice incident for another day. It’s not like more rice can’t be made 🤔
Virgo simply doesn’t understand the big deal
Posted by PeonieCapricorn Sun, Scorpio moon here. I'm materialistic in a sense where I'll slowly save up and make different purchases on different materialistic things because it just genuinely makes me feel good, but my Taurus best friend is a lot more impulsive when it comes to materialistic spending. Especially, when it comes to getting a new car or something like that
I actually find Tauruses to be more materialistic than Caps and Scorps...
Posted by peachy06my husband does too.
What's so wrong about being materialistic tho ? Money is good, money is power. I love money and luxe.
i just like comfort. i like to be homebody lol
my husband says we go on several vacations this year and i said we should just stay home and vacation home. lol

This isn't materialism. They simply don't want careless people messing up their sh*t. I don't know about you, but I don't make a habit of buying things just to have them look like crap with stains and scratches or broken.
Majority of things I own I have bought with my own money. You f*ck it up, I won't insist you pay to replace it or buy it again. However you better believe you won't touch my sh*t again if you do.
I recall loaning a book to a friend. She gave it back with dog ears, pages falling out and stained. I don't loan books out anymore. Period. Instead I with buy you the book, or tell you "nope" flat out. Are these examples of materialism or am I just someone that doesn't like to deal with careless people and all the bs that comes with it?

I dont go out of my way to hoard expensive stuff...but those things that I do splurge on, I do like to keep them nice... and do not like paying for things twice... I'm completely over having to have it if someone has fucked it up.
Right? What is the sense in that?

It’s not materialism, we just like our things a certain way and to remain in optimal condition for long time use.
I hate getting my clothes dirty—I find that irritating because I don’t want to have to go shopping for more. I keep my clothes for a long time
yes that is materialism because you care more about THINGS than your reaction affecting PEOPLE.
THINGS > PEOPLE = MATERIALISMclick to expand
Lol.

Thank you for the folks who stepped up to their flaw and accepted it. Hey, we all have them,ok!
But shame on you others who just tried to weave words to make it sound about something else "we value our stuff..." Yes exactly STUFF hence materialistic. Stop putting a spin on it to make yourself sound fucking honorable.
It is what it is.
Just own up to it and I promise you'll feel much better AND a nice bonus that you'll be one step closer to understanding yourself that much more.
Lol, so this was an effort to help Scorps with their personal growth? The mere fact that you made this a "your more ______ than we are" made everything you just wrote above nothing more than a lot of posturing.

No where did she say that. I was more amused that UVD went as far as saying "kill" in response to a ruined t-shirt, but said the OP was being extreme. She assumes a lot though, I agree.

Posted by PhoenixRisingLol I’m not here to help anyone with anything. I was pointing out some of my observations. It’s interesting how people play around with words just to end up saying the same thing and getting defensive.

Posted by stillstillwaterWhat you described above sounds a lot like OCD tendencies (obsessive compulsive behavior) and being highly possessive. Does fit a Scorpio (some negative traits). But that's not necessarily materialistic.
Just saying we have the reputation of being materialistic but scorpios are way more materialistic than Capricorns. We like to have nice things but don't sweat it. Scorpios like to have nice things but will just be psycho about maintaining it.
For example, one Scorpio friend took out a rag and started wiping the dashboard of her car while I was there to clean it and another Scorpio friend will freak out if any of his stuff gets stains. Whereas I had a Cap friend whose car I borrowed and when I was pulling up to the drive way I put the window down and started baby talking to his dog and his dog ended up jumping to the window and scratching the door. His reaction was just merely like "oh no!" (wihtout any anger and never brought it up or anything) but no anger and no fuss unlike Scorpios. I just can't even imagine what a Scorpio would do in that instance. Whereas I was using a Scorpios washing machine and just turning the knob on a different setting had him in a fuss because he thought it was broken. Lord
So yeah you guys are way more materialistic than us

Posted by stillstillwaterAgain, not necessarily. People with OCD tendencies - have an obsession with a specific order of things (be it - arranged in a certain way or it could be a matter of excessive hygiene). Some of them may work for minimum wage and do not crave for more (they don't care much about money - and may be satisfied with the little they have - they just want those things in a certain way).Posted by nevesPosted by stillstillwater

If a cap takes a long time to really let you in, if they seem confused, or having hot&cold behavior it is not because they don't love you but more of them being afraid to take the risk and the more time passes by the bigger their fear gets.
