What would you say is your most prevalent internal struggle?

As a Scorpio, what is something you are always fighting with yourself to overcome, or the one thing you are focused on improving about yourself?

For me it is possessiveness. When i realized this was the root of most all experienced strife in my life, i really took the time out to try to detach myself from my attachments. And this isn't exclusive to interpersonal relationships. I sometimes find the items, ideas, or desires i hold dear are guarded with the same kind of controlling attitude. This is not anything that brings shame to me, we all have flaws. What matters though, is being self aware.

I'm learning not to fear losing the things/people i love, because everything here is only meant to serve a single purpose- and that is experience.

Plus, things are much sweeter knowing these things are present because they are fated, and obligation does not play a role.

What about you guys?

Yes!! Don't you feel on top of the world when you are able to set yourself free from what you thought would otherwise imprison you literally forever? lol

The best feeling!!

This is beautiful. Mine is indifference.

Oooouuu, yes. Along the lines of release and personal freedom too i would say.

Why do you feel indifference is the answer?

More importantly (as a scorp) do you think that's possible? lol

I learned patience. But I still am trying to teach myself to have empathy for others.

Obsession. I have obsessive tendencies that I can't deal with.

And perhaps, my vengeful nature ?

Peachy! haha

I hate how vengeful I can be. It's the worse. I am usually able to stop myself from boiling over though, but sometimes I find I do regret not giving people a CHUNK of my mind (f*ck a piece 😂)

Do you think you can ever accept the idea of "whatever's gonna be will be"

Letting go of control is every Scorpio's goal before they die.

How many maliciously vile disputes does it take to get to the center of a Scorpio's insouciance?

The world may never know. 😂

You know that's new..

I don't hear many of us talk about empathy. I always feel this emotion in the back of my mind as something i should heed (heavily too) but sometimes in the spur of the moment...that consideration goes out the window to preserve my own wants/needs.

We def are empathic. Do we set ourselves aside as often as we should? I would say no lol

Honestly, I don't know if my lack of empathy is a personality trait or if it can be attributed somehow being a Scorpio one.

What I do know is, is I often times think people who react in an emotional way, as inferior because of my own inability to react to situations in an emotional context 95% of the time. So trying to not look at emotional responses, as a negative, is something I probably need to work on. Though I don't really want to work on understanding it. lol

Gas.. I have bad gas.

Yes, I honestly enjoy my freedom too.

I feel indifferent to everything that's out of my control, I never find myself obsessing over the little things and I don't mind closing my eyes to get my peace of mind and ignore everything sometimes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I also make myself feel indifferent. IDK, I'm sure it's not healthy but when I want to get rid of a certain feeling (anger, sadness, love, etc.) I either focus so much on feeling it until it goes away (almost like listening to a song so many times you get sick of it eventually and don't want to hear anything even similar to it) or I analyze that feeling and everything that has led me to feel it, basically rationalizing that feeling until it's nothing but an understanding of myself and somehow it turns into a lesson for me, or my last and final favorite method, to question everything, "did I love that person or did I love the idea of that person? Was that even love or did I see a part of myself in someone and I wanted to prove to myself that somehow that part was worthy of love because I could love it in them?".

Wow I'm sure I sound weird explaining this, but in short, I'd say I transfer my emotions to my brain so I can rip them apart and analyze them till I no longer feel them. 😂

Hmm that's definitely interesting. Does just sound like a character trait haha

but it's cool all in all. If that's how you sail no reason to rock the boat, especially if its for the sake of pleasing others. Sometimes we dgaf and thats A okay 😂

But for sure I understand convincing yourself out of love 😂 I feel like that's the holy grail for releasing yourself from emotional binds. Due could've been the nicest guy ever but dont ask me anything. Post break-up? they're all trash 😂😂😂😂

Scorpio moons can be more prone to holding on than suns....it's a difficult placement. Are you still holding onto stuff from when you were a boy/teen? Vengeful feelings can be very harmful to health. My Scorp moon sister (fire sun) held so much in and was very difficult to deal with ...

I don't blame anyone. I'm trying to learn from the past and I think what would I do differently if I was who I am now then. I'm not angry that often and I find it easier to calm down.

At the time it felt like a lot was against me. I can say I got through it because some people don't. Believe it or not I'm not bitter and don't really do the victimhood mentality as it isn't who I am.

How do you differentiate?

I guess in all fairness, I have a lot of Scorp influence, so maybe kinda counts for something. haha

How do I differentiate between what is lack of trust and what is paranoia? I have a really tough time with that actually. I often have to ask myself, do I really not trust this or am I just being paranoid. It can be really difficult for me to tell sometimes. For example.. something as simple as taking my dog to the vet. I am not the kind of person that could leave my dog over night at the vets. I am either staying the night with him or will take him home and bring him back when they re open.. Do I have any reason not to trust them? Not really.. but I don't at all. That's likely me being paranoid and overthinking "worst case scenarios".. but also it's important to me that my dog trusts me 100% , I know he would be more comfortable with me, so I make sure to be with him in uncomfortable situations.. so partly due to that and partly due to me not trusting what will happen to him and how he would be treated if I left him alone with them.

You know what actually? It does!

Topic open to those influenced by scorpion inner-G as well

😂

Hm, i would say there isn't anything really wrong with that! Of course you always wanna be practical but you've got those maternal instincts in full force, so leave no stone unturned!

tbh i believe paranoia and control go hand in hand. Can never really have one in your midst without the other trailing behind.

Giving up on people and learning to let go. Maybe its my leo side but i have a hard time giving up on people, if i really loved them then basically i will love them forever.

Also learning to be alone. its hard to be alone and it feels depressing..that it leads to alot of staying attached to the wrong people

Clinginess is self explanatory

Being shy, i want to find the words to say to give a response right away but couldnt find the right words in time. Need to think long and hard about it first

Honestly with the way we live today I think mostly everyone has some pesky stealth disparity going on inside. If it's not some kind of bug or mold exposure, its our lifestlyes that have thrown our body chemistry out of whack. And Western/Modern medicine does not focus on the root cause of illness at all.

I will never forget working at an animal shelter where i legit witnessed one of our vets telling our client that she "was not a nutritionist" after he'd asked about feeding tips for his diabetic dog.

Anytime I visit a hospital, their patient meal plans AMAZE me. Like for real, what the fuck. You literally are what you eat, and our hospitals think it is okay to feed already sick individuals slop?

Fck those doctors lol We should *always* listen to our bodies.

That is not to undermine the advice of doctors, but our bodies are intelligent ever healing machines. Their only job is to heal and keep functioning well lol so inevitably our bodies sends us signs and messages when something is amiss.

Having my own conglomerate of seemingly unrelated symptoms lead me to alt med and wanting to do a full detox. That's when I came across the topic of adrenal fatigue. I believe the average doctor doesn't acknowledge diseases like this because they've only studied treatment of SYMPTOMS.

Very rarely an MD can pinpoint the cause of illness, but they sure can offer relief from the problem. This is why functional medicine is so important. Unfortunately this is privatized practice 9 times out of 10.

I would def look into some holistic practitioners, acupuncture, asking your regular MD to run some in depth panels on you. Adrenal fatigue is all about resetting the body so it knows what it should and should be producing to shock your body out of its constant state of stress.

This was the first article I read about the subject https://www.organicolivia.com/2018/06/the-truth-about-adrenal-fatigue-root-causes-explained/

and she has since gone even more in depth on the topic. It's not an overnight fix by any means but the research worth it imo. I've followed this woman for a minute, and i would definitely recommend browsing her site, looking into traditional chinese medicine and herbalists.

She will always site her findings too.

Another whose work really helped me with my own research https://www.instagram.com/dr.jess.md/

Honestly educating yourself, and being very attentive to your body's messages will help you loads AND point you in the right direction.

Obsession in love... when I lock in thats it.

Control issues, always trying to control outcomes.

Possessiveness... i dare any woman to try and talk to my man in my presence, whats so weird is that I'm not insecure at all, I just don't like people coming near my stuff ( I hide it well but I will be seething inside)

But the biggest contradiction of it all, is that I don't like to be controlled in love at all. I like my freedom, don't tell me what to do, otherwise I will defy you.

Because of my Venus in Sag & Mars in Libra. So it's the biggest head fuck.

Anger when it rises. I am calm but make me angry and I come for your head. There is no reasoning with me because I feel I gave enough warning and opportunity for the other party to stop the nonsense. When my destructive side comes out I want everything and everyone dead and gone. I was terrible with it growing up but now it's more relaxed. But it is still there
