I guess I will like to hear all 3 water signs opinion on this. Recently I was exchanging emails with another fellow DXP member and we kind of talked about deep emotional connections between water signs and spoken and unspoken communication and all the things that could go wrong??_ and how bad the hurt would be in those cases, since is not simply superficial??_ with that being said I will like to assume that everybody here believe in emotional connections do exist and for so we are discussing over that assumption. If you don't believe in that —crap?? please continue your journey to other post??_
One of the things we water signs share is deep connection with our emotions and intuition (ones more than others) and what make us different is simple the way we deal and protect them??_ some other placement in our unique chart will make us react different to a situation where our feelings get compromised.
Now here is are questions in regards of my dilemma after this assumption. I want to be able to gauge the same reactions from the different water signs to a particular situation.
1-How often do you trust your intuition?
2-What will make you doubt those feelings?
3-What will make you not act on gut feeling?
4-Have you ever feel like a big conflict between what you inner self, wants vs ego/self preservation?.
5-How far are you willing to risk in order following you heart/intuition/gut feeling.
6-How often your emotions rule your decisions.
7-How often your hurt feelings prevent you from seeing the facts and reason.
8-How often you imagine all sorts of scenarios in your head about a particular situation.
9-How many times have you coincidentally ignore your emotions of feelings.
10-How often you feel like your inner self is telling you to act some way and you much rather listen to other people instead.
11-What will you do if everybody is telling you to give up, but something inside you is asking you to keep trying?
12-Do you think that something might be an intuition thing or more simply stubbornness to accept that sometimes you cannot win them all

Thanks for your responses 🙂

I ask all this because, I'm conflicted between listen to my inner self that is telling me to act certain way like if it will certain of the outcome??_ I don't know if my inner self picks up things that my mind has been blocked, or go by what other people has told me because it make sense (is reasonable).

Some people are capable to connect with us in not physical ways, and there is unspoken communication between both of them that our ego and self preservation try to make us doubt in order to avoid getting hurt. In those cases sometimes I feel things that I cannot explain in with logic, and I don't talk about with other people fearing that might think I'm crazy, but I wonder if the other person you feel connected to feels too??_ and that leads me to the next issue, the easy way in those cases is simply asking the other person??_ but why we water signs have such a hard time communicating verbally??

Asking instead of spending copious amount of time torturing ourselves creating all this crazy scenarios in our head that we have no prove to??_ is funny because I??ve been like that most of my life, hiding my feelings for protection, but recently someone forced and helped me (in nice ways) to communicate and 9 out 10 times I??ve realized that all my doubts and concerns where simply in my head, and in a way that made me want to keep communicating more because in many ways it saves me the pain and the time on writing all this stories in my head??_ I kind of made a conscious decision to sort of stop trying to control the outcome and lose the fear of things not going the way I want or expect??_ and knowing that there might be a chance that I get hurt, but I will rather to know things as they are. Most of the times are not as bad as I have though??_

1-How often do you trust your intuition?
Very rarely , my intuition usually alerts me to caution myself in regards to others. I usually initially follow it but then let my guard down. Unfortunately in every one of those instances I was right about reading people in respect to their propensity or proclivity to disappoint and or hurt me.

2-What will make you doubt those feelings?
The fact that I know I'm pessimistic and that I ultimately want to give people the benefit of the doubt.

3-What will make you not act on gut feeling?
A track record of behavior that acts counter to my initial beliefs about the person or situation.

4-Have you ever felt a big conflict between what your inner self, wants vs ego/self preservation?
No , they are usually aligned.

5-How far are you willing to risk in order following you heart/intuition/gut feeling?
If that feeling or gut was based in my aesthetic principles in regards to justice and morality I'd sacrifice everything.

6-How often your emotions rule your decisions?
About 25-35 percent of the time I think. It used to be a lot more when i was younger. I've learned how to rationalize situations more and also empathize with others to a larger degree more where I can control my emotions in times of conflict.

7-How often your hurt feelings prevent you from seeing the facts and reason?
Never.... my hurt feelings usually fall in line with the facts and reason.
I think pisceans are often exploited in this sense. We are often made to feel that we are overly emotional and sensitive and those things clouds our judgement.I think our emotional state is usually exacerbated by a lack of empathy from others as well as innate selfishness on their part. I think we pisceans are always fully aware of the facts and that are initial reaction of being hurt and disappointed by the facts and situation is correct. But we have the capacity to empathize with people from all walks of life as well as forgive and I think that is what actually gets exploited by people who know this about us and want to do whatever they want to do because ultimately they view us as spineless pushovers that will forgive them no matter what. We often forgive but rarely forget.

8-How often you imagine all sorts of scenarios in your head about a particular situation.
If it's something I aspire to have , a type pf relationship , or job , or project...at least dozens of times a day. if it's something negative, based on fear or guilt, I try t

8-How often you imagine all sorts of scenarios in your head about a particular situation.
If it's something I aspire to have , a type pf relationship , or job , or project...at least dozens of times a day. if it's something negative, based on fear or guilt, I try to limit those feelings and thoughts as much as possible although they do come up. If it's a day where those negative fictional scenarios dominate my thoughts I tend to have one of those typical piscean "down in the dumps" kind of days.

9-How many times have you coincidentally ignore your emotions of feelings.
I try not to as they come up later. I usually suppress the negative feelings though and exalt the ones that make me feel good. It's a nasty habit that acts as an impediment to progress within my close relationships.

10-How often you feel like your inner self is telling you to act some way and you much rather listen to other people instead.

All the time but I always listen to my self ultimately.. if I didn't I couldn't respect myself. It also helps that I have a tendency to discover and analyze other peoples negative characteristics early on , including instances where they exhibit some hypocrisy , and this usually informs the degree of validity I view these people's opinions in regards to whatever respective circumstance or issue at hand.

11-What will you do if everybody is telling you to give up, but something inside you is asking you to keep trying?

I'd never give up. If I felt that my physical efforts were useless and the situation was impossible then I'd seek divine intervention and just trust. Sometimes we don't get what we initially want but in my life after seeking divine intervention in those times I've always received better or ended up in a better situation with time in those scenarios. So that in a sense is my prayer and where my hope is , that if I don't get what I want that I'd eventually come to an awareness or understanding of how what I wanted might not have been the best for me and to trust in that very notion until that reality reveals itself.

12-Do you think that something might be an intuition thing or more simply stubbornness to accept that sometimes you cannot win them all?

I've been thinking about that a lot lately. I think to deal with this again I turn to divine intervention and just trust. Long story short there's this person that I've felt that I'm supposed to be with ( the only person I've ever pictured myself marrying or rather

Great questions, but I don't understand #12.



1-How often do you trust your intuition?

Always when it's clear to me that it's my intuition. It's a very calm feeling/sense compared to what happens when my "feelings" are coming from my emotions and/or mind.


2-What will make you doubt those feelings?

Nothing when it's very clear like mentioned above.

3-What will make you not act on gut feeling?

Nothing, though there might be some hesitation if it's something that I don't want to do. But if it's that strong, I know to trust it - it's helped me many times in my life.


4-Have you ever feel like a big conflict between what you inner self, wants vs ego/self preservation?

Sometimes but I've rarely felt like my ego gets in my way enough to do damage to what my inner self wants.


5-How far are you willing to risk in order following you heart/intuition/gut feeling.

A lot. Sometimes I have to think about it first, strategizing, to determine how best to take action. In emergencies, however, I act quickly because intuition/gut tells me what to do very clearly and quickly.


6-How often your emotions rule your decisions.

It depends. Often, with important decisions, my emotions can be quite fused with my intuition. With other things that are purely practical my emotions don't really run so I make the decision based on intellectual analysis.

7-How often your hurt feelings prevent you from seeing the facts and reason.

Sometimes, but usually only for a short time. I will go over things in my mind shortly afterward and usually I can be fairly objective once I do.


8-How often you imagine all sorts of scenarios in your head about a particular situation.

Often! lol. I'm both analytical and imaginative, and also very visual, so that makes for a LOT of movies playing in my head so to speak.


9-How many times have you coincidentally ignore your emotions of feelings.

I don't remember ever doing that. I can't ignore them - they are a very important part of my makeup.


10-How often you feel like your inner self is telling you to act some way and you much rather listen to other people instead.

Rarely. If my inner self is telling me something, it's the right thing.


11-What will you do if everybody is telling you to give up, but something inside you is asking you to keep trying?

I'll keep trying. I'll consider their opinion, but if something inside me says to keep trying I've found that is the truth and im

I was cut off, so:


11-What will you do if everybody is telling you to give up, but something inside you is asking you to keep trying?

I'll keep trying. I'll consider their opinion, but if something inside me says to keep trying I've found that is the truth and important for me to pay attention to. I'm a cautious person overall so I'm not prone to take needless risks anyway.


12-Do you think that something might be an intuition thing or more simply stubbornness to accept that sometimes you cannot win them all

I don't understand the question so I can't answer it, sorry!
