Will this Scorpio ever realize his mistake?

Once a Scorpio makes a decision about something, do they stick to it forever and ever? Even if they are wrong? Do they ever realize their mistakes? Or once a decision made, is it just done forever?

I know a Scorpio who made a decision about something that everyone in his life disagrees with. It goes against his previous actions, and all of his loved ones can see that it is hurting him and others. He continues to contradict this decision with his actions, but if you point that out, he becomes defensive. He does not have a rational explanation for the decision, and he refuses to look at any other alternatives. The person who will be hurt the most by this decision in the long run is probably him. It's baffling that he can't see the mistake he has made, and to think he might never change his mind is crazy.

I dunno exactly but why does everyone care about his decisions, it's his life, just agree with him and let it go, why create more conflict and distance over an issue he's made his mind up about. No one likes to be talked out of doing something they want to do, it feels intrusive.

If it's not something that is going to potentially kill him like drugs, alcohol something along those lines then why make a big deal out of it, he's the one that inevitably has to live with his errors although some people my be effected by his choices in the end he has to live with that as well. Some people resist being told what to do, it feels controlling, some people know others are right and choose to do what they want any way, it's his or her way of exerting control over there own lives, it's not about right or wrong, it's about making his own decisions and controlling his own destiny. Let him fall...fall flat on his face, he will thank you for it later. If everyone stops nagging, stop focusing on him and his issues then and only then will he be able to see the error and change it but as long as people are hemming and hawing on and on about his choices he will become more and more resistance and defend his choice to do what he wants to do.

Actually, no one is nagging him. I know he is very set in his ways, and I would never try to change him or anyone. I realize that it's his life, and he has to make his own decisions and mistakes. He is my best friend, and I have only told him how I feel when he has asked for my opinion.

He is a very sweet, compassionate person, and although he is strong-willed, he seems quite lost at the moment. In many ways, I don't think that he is being honest with himself. I love him a lot, and I want what's best for him. I guess that's why I care so much.

I didn't say you imparticular was nagging him, I was going by your post that others were pointing out his contradictions, well to a man that is set on doing what he wants to do having so many people point out his flaws feels like nagging, he's looking for allies not enemies. I was under the assumption per your post there are others including yourself involved in this situation, if too many people begin to disagree with him well it's like saying your wrong, he feels jumped on, nobody really wants to hear that there wrong from others no matter how right they may be at the time.

Be his friend by being more supportive, you may not agree with his decisions, he needs someone on his side more than anything if he's showing signs conflict. whatever he's doing is what he feels is best for him, all you can do is lean back and let it play it out and if he falls on his face be a friend and be there for him.

Well I guess my question is still, will he ever realize his mistake? Of course I will support him and be there for him. I have just heard that Scorpios are notoriously stubborn, and I just wonder if he'll ever get past his own fears and realize that he has made the wrong decision. Or will he never look back?

He will quietly look at his mistakes but most likely he will never call it that and keep the same state of mind that he did what was best for him at the time even if the consequences of that decision brought upon him hurt and hardships. But were not him so no one person can really say if he will have regret and/or look back on his past mistakes, most men tend to be okay with there mistakes and deal with the consequences differently than women, some men make the same mistake dozens of times before they learn from it...you won't know until the end
