Why Do Scorpios Often Get a Bad Rap

Scorpios are misunderstood due to their intense nature and strong emotions. They are passionate, loyal, and protective, but may be perceived as secretive or vengeful. Understanding their depth helps see beyond stereotypes and appreciate their genuine qualities.

I think Caps get a rap as bad as the scorps because Caps put on a strict, no-nonsense front in the office but they have a whole 'nother dark side behind everyone else's backs. Scorp's are just more upfront about it. Caps are not allowed to be upfront because they're often responsible for many people's livelihoods.

But overall, yeah, I can see how Caps are hated because they always dominate.

Plus, they have this annoying habit of always being right. Evolved Caps seem to know how to combine their deep (but well hidden) intuition and their formidable logic/common sense and always prove everyone else wrong.

Sometimes ya just wanna slap them on the side of their heads for being so annoying 'right' all the time.

Well put Virgogotme.

However, my experience has been that Scorps' reputation often precedes them. Using your "game player" analogy, I find that it's very easy to fool a scorp.....by allowing them to believe what they think is true rather than the actual truth itself.

A hothead like Aries will probably not be able to fool some scorpios but a more analytical sign like Aquarius or a Virgo can easily pull one over the scorp. Just allow them to believe whatever they want to believe rather than deny or acknowledge what you already know is the truth.

Heck, I've even seen the more emotional signs like Pisces and Cancers fool the "all- powerful" scorps...and then giggle about it afterwards.

It's not something a scorp wants to hear, I know, but I've seen how easily is it to pull them around by the nose. So I think people should just let go of their "oooh, scorps are bad, scorps are this, scorps are that" - mentality and just acknowledge that they are not that different from other signs...both good points and bad. They have their faults and weaknesses too...just like everyone else.

I do agree with the point about Virgos though. talking to some of them, it's obvious they have the scorps figured out....sometimes more than they let on πŸ™‚

*Throwing out random accusations hoping that one of them would stick is not the making of an Analytical person*

"you are with someone, and all you can do is cookiemonster about their negatives, yet continue to be with them, whos fault is that? Not the Scorpios. So I highly doubt they bring that rep onto themselves."

I will say this My Scorpio man has Very good traits and he has Bad, i speak more about his good. I think it is fine to vent sometimes because these can be difficult men (scorpio sign)to deal with unless you have a true understanding which you never going to get. So im going to continue to speak my peace and love my man cause it's just like that!

To latch on to what MsP wrote, in general, most forums about signs are usually about someone's negative traits.....irregardless of their sign. People just want to rant....and hopefully find some answers.

"ahh..dogsbody likes throwing those random comments and somehow involve capricorns into everything thats being discussed, no matter the subject.."

That's one reason why Caps are hated. They know it all πŸ™‚ But annoyingly, they're often right.

**bling, its funny that Ive said in the past that if the devil was a sign, it surely HAD to be a capricorn**

It's no coincidence that the Tarot card symbol for Capricorns is "The Devil".

Capricorn has a connection to the horned god, Pan, and has a very devlish, abandoned, earthy kind of sexuality, not usually apparent on the surface.
Cappies often do have a kind of wicked look about them, which I, for one, find rather sexy.

hahahaha, well now I feel better πŸ˜„

Sorry Evan, when you talk about caps badly on the Scorpio board, you get spanked too, nothing changes, so you better get positive.

Oh, and that Jackass comment was for AntiB πŸ˜‰ LOL!!!! Caps are not nutters!

You know ... do I have to get my steel bats out. I have two men ganging up on me.

Its not easy to hit my nerves UGH!!!!!!

Thats hardly a truth, in fact caps are one of the easiest to figure out. All you need to know about them is that they mostly have an agenda when dealing with people whilst they like pretending they dont, thats where their so-called "cunning" reputation comes from.

What book did you get that out of? Bless your little heart Shaka πŸ™‚ You know, on the job training is far better then what you learn in a textbook πŸ˜„

I'll let you think about that for a while πŸ™‚

Shaks:
*All you need to know about them is that they mostly have an agenda when dealing with people whilst they like pretending they dont,*

They do that to people that they don't like. And, if you're sharp enough to observe, they will deliberately leave clues to the very people that they do this to. I think they do it so that these people will figure out that the Cap is playing them and then will leave the Cap alone. And that's just what the Cap wants; to be left alone by these people whom they dislike. After all, it's easier to get people to leave you alone rather than get in their faces and tell them off.

Another reason for their "agenda" is because of their "Robin Hood"- complex. They steal from the rich & give to the poor. You may notice that Caps are very good at networking with prominent people.....and then quietly getting those people to sponsor some cause or other (like free textbooks for needy kids or something.) They're also good at spearheading large projects like getting fresh water to remote villages...usually by 'conning' some big-shot business corporation into thinking that it's an investment of sorts. Hence their 'agendas' when dealing with people.

There's sometimes an ulterior motive when a Cap deals with you. But it's usually for the greater good.
