Understanding Power Struggles with Scorpio

Scorpios often engage in intense power struggles due to their strong will and emotional depth. They may react strongly when feeling challenged or threatened, revealing their need for control and loyalty. Recognizing these patterns can help in managing conflicts and understanding Scorpio's emotional responses more effectively.

I gotta throw this in. Don't ever tell me to do something...ASK!! I don't like to be ordered to do something, but will generally do it if asked. Yes as a S/S cusper, I do put people through tests, especially if it involves the heart.

Are you scorps ever concerned that your "Tests" will actually push the other person away?

Nope...because if you fail you weren't worthy of us in the first place. Secondly, the tests are probably nothing that you wouldn't expect from any other relationship. It's just that we value your 'score' from those tests maybe more than others.

Candlz said it best: "Nope...because if you fail you weren't worthy of us in the first place."

Its not like we go out and set tests and theres this examining board or anything..you might just say something one day that we don't happen to agree with and we see the issue being one that is not going to be resolved whatever way you look at it..so we just finish it there and then..no remorse..

I wouldn't call it giving up, more like sifting out rubbish...

Yes Caps test as well...but they aren't as cold and ruthless as Scorps..they have a soul...somewhere deep down...

Aww..lol..there there...Well I can't speak for the majority but I know I can be...I have a soul but sometimes I wonder if I do..I am emotional but pretty dead to emotion..(prolly makes no sense)..I never want anything enough that I will give my life for it..nothing shocks me.

All I am trying to get at is that I can usually drop something that means the world to me in a matter of seconds because something inside has flipped a switch...

Not MM here but....Cold and ruthless does not apply if we are in love. When in love, we go deep into our souls and words cannot describe what we feel for our loved one. Trust me, it's deep, sincere and the most intense feeling that one human could ever experience.

Unless of course you have betrayed me...then like MM says, I can flip a switch in a matter of seconds.

LOL!...I am capable of it..Extremely deep and intense emotions that scare the pants off me...It would render me helpless and I don't like being in that state..I am not very good at showing it..Control is a big thing for me..so I guess every emotion is controlled..

Sometimes there can be a subconscious build up of resentment that you aren't immedately aware of....suddenly it flips a switch and what could've been is no more..

"Control within yourself"..that sums me up well...

From the age of 18-22 revenge was very strong..nowadays I feel its a waste of time...I can't be bothered with all the negative energy it consumes..I would rather walk away..feel light-hearted...its all about achievement and transcendence into another realm..where petty matters of the world and its people are of no importance...

Positive thought and mind is such a beautiful thing...and I aim to keep it that way...I am a realist...unfortuntely some see that as negativity and being cynical...cynicism comes from experience..

i'm a scorp and a self admitted control freak. while i can definitely compromise in relationships, i have a really hard time when things are beyond my control. that is probably my worst nightmare actually and something i'm really trying to work on.

i do think tough, that a relationship should be a two way street and maybe an honest talk is in order to discuss it. i think when things become too much of a push/pull dynamic it gets too difficult and nobody wins.

Geez. You're telling me basically everything I want to hear. This entire time, she has done the pursuing. I've always made her call, stuff like that. Now that I'm freaking out, I'm the one calling her. I'm used to the girl coming after me, maybe that's just me being too distant, I don't know. This all seems like so much for two people who aren't really together. I am not the type of guy to just bare my soul like that, even though I basically did a while back. I'm always making fun of her and giving her a hard time, but it's fun for me. Maybe from that she isn't sure if I'm serious.

There's this whole progression. You date, get to know each other, don't put too many expectations on the relationship... and it's like all of those rules are flying out the window here. We already know each other, and that part is getting better. I want to do this with no pressure for me or her. But I also don't want to try to hold onto something that isn't even mine really. I mean, I need to know TOO.

Knowing me, I'll end up making a fool out of myself and just tell her everything. This is so heavy. But I can't think that she's not the one. Even though I'm trying to not get my hopes up, part of me just KNOWS. I'm not going to just let her get away that easily. But at the same time I'm trying to play it cool. There's a disconnect there. From my experience, women don't like men who just open up like that, it takes all the challenge and mystery away.

"it means she is talking to herself"... LOL. That's something I need to keep in mind.

Yeah you're right, she probably thinks I was just saying something in the heat of the moment, and since it was out of character for me, she didn't quite believe it, even though she knows it's true.

Thanks for talking to me... I feel much better about this situation now. I actually think I'm playing it right. This has been growing for a while now. What ever the next level is, it's about to happen.
