Ok Scorpios...I get this a lot..."you have a strong presence and I just couldn't say hi"???

WHAT???

Do you Scrops get the same kind of treatment, where other peeps where so intimidated by your presence that they just had to run away or excuse themselves with some kind of weird excuse?

I feel like..."WTF"..."what did I do or say?...maybe I was to direct with my vibe?

Help me out here Scorps cause this is really driving me crazy!!

      i just joined this site. i'm investigating more and more into "signs",etc b/c the more i look into it the scarier it gets accuracy-wise.
      this is my first post and my birthday is Oct 27, 1982.

      i have heard the "intimidating" excuse for a LONG time.
      i am an indie-music snob and suppose i can appear as a snob, but i do adore good-conversation regarding music b/c i take it so seriously.

      YES!!!

      OMG!!!

      Now this is one of the main reasons I don't look people in the eyes too often.

      This just happened to me at a night club the other night...with an older man. Very Beautiful Soul and after about ten minutes of eye contact and small talk, he walked away cause the intensity was very strong coming from me.

      I didn't men to scare him off. Shit...and that was that. :(

        sorry to hear it.

        this happens to me a lot, tho not so much w/older men...
        i never know what to say to women. small talk has never been my forte.
        i hate playing the game. & bars suck for meeting people. +, i hate to say it, but women around here are mostly girls. maybe i'm just too picky...

          You are right.."bars" are not the best place to find someone special.

          I do know what you mean...small talk sucks!! But I like meeting new souls...guess checkin to see whats out there.
          Yes, games suck too. :}- But I now how to play and when to leave it.

          "maybe i'm just too picky..."

          No, I don't one is "picky"...I like to think of it as...
          "you know what you like and you won't settle for less."
          I think you are just being careful not to get whatever is out there...but also waiting for someone special is learning lots of patience and faith that their is someone if not, more than one out there for you. LOL :)

      Just a little something I came across Marnie re:"eyes"...

      "Scorps, sometimes possess penetrating eyes which make their shyer companions feel naked and defenseless before them."

      This was a little insight regards to Scorpio sign.

        i think most people just choose to be intimidated by scorpios cause they fail to understand
        that we don't mean whatever they think ........................................... i personally see it as what life throws at us scorps..................... so when it happens especially the eye contact scenes i just let it pass by naturally ........................ cuz there is definitely people who don't see scorps as intimidating but rather as acting as themselves which others fail to understand and we tend to find ourselves which such people. Though i know many people i think i have intimidated unknowingly and i am sick of their attitudes towards me when all i was being was my bloody self. It's so tiring. That's one part that makes it hard for me to be a scorpio. Cuz after all these i think i find myself by myself again. It really sucks but i have been learning to live with it .

    Actually, I'm a completely overbearing asshole so it's pretty easy to understand why people are intimidated by me and are afraid to say "hi". Also, I eat a lot of garlic and seldom bathe, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. Naw. Nope. It starts and ends with me being an asshole. Of course, my goiter could be a little off putting. It is the size of Delaware.

        I don't understand why so many people are intimidated by you guys either. I mean every Scorp I know is a complete goof ball and we laugh around each other a lot. I've never felt intimidated by any that I knew...male or female. I know with the women they tend to be more reserved. I think with other signs I've been intimidated or cautious around simply because they seemed irritable and you didn't know what mood they were in.

        I was even told by one Scorp that I went to college with that I had actually intimidated him and made him feel stupid, so for several months he would approach me rather cautiously. I thought that was hilarious when I found that out.

          I have often been told that folks feel uncomfortable around me, or either I am not easy to talk to. I also am quite shy until I get a feel for a person. I also am very comfortable in complete silence which bothers many people. I'm a Scorpio, what can I say!!

            Maybe it's just because you're beautiful. Maybe all that incoherent babbling you hear isn't intimidation but just being overwhelmed by your hotness. When you meet guys for the first time, does steam blow out of their ears? Do they hoot and howl like wild animals and pound their feet on the floor while saying things like "Ouch!" and "Damn!" and pant like an overheated dog, kind of like those old Warner Brothers cartoons from the Fifties? Yeah, that's because you're hot. Go with that. ;-}
  • If you can't take the heat...

    I've gotten that too. It's frustrating, and irritating, but I figure if they can't take my intensity from the get go it's their issue, not mine. I think I'm pretty approachable for the most part, but I am an intense person. I'm not going to tone myself down, and If they can't take it that's unfortunate, but I don't date push overs. It wouldn't work between us anyway. I'm only interested in those who can give as good as they get.
  • Re: Intimidating Scorpios?

    Yea, I get that too. And like Dave said, sometimes it's just their perceptions of my shyness. Other times, I'm just not the least bit interested in what's going on outside of my own brain and I put up one of those invisible walls. I find that's when folks are most intimidated or 'put off.'

    For me, it's all about my frame of mind. We have the power to project what we want them to perceive. Keep that in mind.

      "We have the power to project what we want them to perceive. Keep that in mind."

      IceStormRed, kind of remind me when I was told my eyes express a whole set of possible emotions and feelings.

      Went to look at myself in the mirror and tried changing my feelings, I don't see any differences!

      Yes!! You are right on!!!

      "We have the power to project what we want them to perceive."

      Yes, the power is within us all!

      The key is this...one must feel it and see it in their minds and be very aware and intune to their suroundings in order to project their intentions.

      One thing is for certain my Dear, a lot of Scorps have this innately within...it just flows more naturally than any other sign. LOL

    I get it all the time, my shyness is mistaked for arrogance, and then when I'm not shy, I scare people off with the conversation, or my gaze... or something!!

      I don't get that...I get, "You have admirable qualities, I was up all night thinking about you" and then falling and crashing his bike in the street.(Just met yesterday), I get, you look like you are sad and deep," I'd like to sleep with you, you'd be good, I think" , or "Hey baby" (out of car windows),, things like this. I find it intolerable(except the crashing of the bike) LOL I have been told that my presence is known immediately by walking into a bar. I actually would find it attractive in a man if he was a bit more reserved and hesitated to say hi. I would sense that he was noticing and break the ice myself, if I felt he was having diffaculties. Usually a glance will do it :)

    oh....maybe that's the reason why, a few times, i (As a scorpio) have to make the first move and assure them that I'm actually an open person instead of their misconception that i'm "intimidating" =D

      I know im not intimidating on a daily basis.I think people percive me as a nice person, some percive me as a weirdo, so the last group simply back away from me and talk bad about me behind my back.
      But who cares anyway. Its easy to judge what they cant understand.

      Im intimidating in extreme emotional sitations, that i know for sure, as i´´ve been told.But some people simply cant bare to hear the truth,so that its their problem.

      Haha , and i know i scare some virgo sun, cancer moon boy off. He literally ran away from me in the midle of the night, .How rude!
      But it was so funny, he suddenly started to make some excuses and left,and later i saw him in a club. So he approach to me and started to make more exuses, and he was so nervus,
      it was a funny,funny night.

        i hate it when people make judgments based on little or no knowledge of the subject.

        it reminds me of the people that used to firmly believe that the earth was flat...


        Ana, why ya got to torture them poor virgo and cancer boys ? =p and then to laugh about it later eh? shame on you!

          They are so fragile i cant help it.Cancer moon people awoke a demon in me, i know its terrible, but its what their kind, gentle nature does to me.

          And you are funny guy Prince, your posts make me smile trough various tribes :)
          And you write this very well too:

            Personally, i don't even want to dwell on what kind of demons are inside or what awoke them...but i know it's not from softies.

            You sound like such a nice person from what i've read of your posts
            ...maybe you're just spinning that web for the softies eh? oh that's devious ^_^

              Prince, youre funny, but no.
              I have one cacer moon person in my life that send me on a milion guilt trips in my life,and tortured me with the crying,so my whole view on soft emotionalism, genetleness is disturbed.

              The cancer moon does a lot of emotional manipulation, so when things arent OK, or their way, they will cry,cry ,cry, or use some form of passive agresive behaviour.I know they are sensitive, emotional but there isnt much depth or understanding i can get form them,. Not on the level i need anyway.

              Man with cancer moon retreat quickly ,and simply are not honest, i dont feel like anything they do is because they really mean it, it always seems like they just need harmony, peace, and will avoid to do anything that could shake that, even in situation when its absolutely neccessary. I guess they find security in unthretning enviroment, and want risk a conflict because they dont want to lose their security.Or they have a need to be seen as nice people,and consider arguing (even when its necessary) as rude or barbaric

              I need people to cofront me, i need to get to the bottom ,so when i see how even little dose of agression is disturbing to them it drives me crazy, we cant solve anything if we pretend were fine.

              So,yeah to keep the long story short, their softnes, niceness can drive my crazy, because it isnt reall,its they need to keep peace at any cost, so it simply opposes my nature on so many different ways. We are not a match, their type of sensibility isnt fulfiling me on any way.
              So, yes, the are sensitive, big deal, whats the use of it when they cant give you what you need.It all comes to the point where youre mothering them, and i need for man to be a man.

      I intimidate people all the time. Its not on purpose though. I think this gets activated when I get annoyed with a situation or have to deal with dificult people. I work in a very edgy part of town. Perhaps I have blended with my environment. I have been told that I give off a very unsettling energy that people all around me can pick up on if I am angry or upset even if I try very hard to hide it. I also become very frank about how I feel and voice my oppinions with no reserve. Tact goes out the window. Takes alot for it to get to that point though.
      I am just thankful that even though I scare women, I dont scare them.....away ;D
