You know that friend of yours, the one born between October 23rd and November 21st? The intense, loyal, and passionate one who always speaks their mind? Well, that’s your typical Scorpio. As a water sign, Scorpios feel emotions deeply and value authenticity and brutal honesty. But there are a few things that really get under their skin and drive them absolutely crazy.
If you want to stay on the good side of your Scorpio friend or lover, avoid these pet peeves at all costs. Dishonesty, being ignored, and messy, unorganized spaces are just a few of the things that will have a Scorpio seeing red.
Dishonest People
Scorpios don’t mess around when it comes to honesty. Little white lies just aren’t going to cut it for them. They’ll see right through any BS you try to feed them.
Scorpios want it straight – the whole truth and nothing but the truth. That’s how they roll, totally upfront with no filter. So, if you want to stay on their good side, come clean with no excuses. Don’t sugarcoat anything or try to slip a fast one past them.
And God help you if they find out you lied or went behind their back. Trust is a huge deal for Scorpios, so once you break it, good luck getting it back. Just being real with them shows you respect them and have nothing to hide.
Moral of the story – don’t even think about fibbing to your Scorpio friend. Keep it 100 with them at all times. Shoot it to them straight, no matter how harsh the truth may be. In the end, honesty is the only way to keep a Scorpio happy in the long run.
A Limp Handshake
If you’re shaking hands with a Scorpio, make it count! For them, a handshake says a lot. Extend your hand confidently and give a nice firm grip. Nothing limp or weak – they’ll think you don’t know what you want. Scorpios can’t stand people who waver or second-guess themselves.
Show them you’ve got guts with a solid, purposeful shake. Look them in the eye, flash a smile, and match their strength. For Scorpios, actions speak louder than words. That first handshake is your chance to make an impression. Don’t blow it by being a wet noodle! Give them what they’re looking for and leave them thinking you mean business.
Messiness And Disorganization
Scorpios, both men and women, definitely like to keep things tidy. They’re not as obsessed with cleaning as a Virgo but messes really bug them. A messy desk or crumbs in the kitchen will stress them out big time – they like to be efficient and in control of their space.
Planning to invite a Scorpio into your house? Keep your space clean and clutter-free. A messy desk or crumb-filled kitchen will not fare well with a Scorpio’s keen eye for detail. Do your chores and make the bed—your Scorpio partner will notice.
Going on a date? Be on time! Scorpios operate on a tight schedule and expect others to do the same. Tardiness and last-minute changes frustrate them to no end. Respect their time and be prompt.
Making a promise? Follow through on your word! Don’t make empty promises or commit to things you can’t deliver. Scorpios value integrity and will not tolerate flakiness. Follow through on your commitments!
Wishy-Washy Behavior
The astro scorpions don’t have much patience for indecisiveness. Determination and confidence are really important to them.
Nothing rubs a Scorpio the wrong way more than someone who can’t commit to a decision. If you’re constantly flip-flopping on things or failing to take a firm stance, they’ll get annoyed with you real quick. In their eyes, that kind of wishy-washy behavior makes you seem spineless.
They want to associate with people who know what they want and go after it. If you’re always changing your mind and wavering back and forth on issues, a Scorpio won’t want to deal with that. They prefer those who make up their mind and stick to it. Indecision is just not something they can tolerate for very long.
Conservative And Narrow-Minded People
Scorpios can’t stand people who are super narrow-minded or rigid in their thinking. They see the world as having a lot of shades of gray rather than just black and white. They believe there’s usually more than one way to find the truth about things. People who are really stuck in their ways and never want to consider other points of view will drive Scorpios crazy. Because Scorpios always want to push limits and question what everyone else thinks, viewpoints that are super conservative and hate any kind of change or progress aren’t going to win them over either. They just want everyone to live and let live.
Lethargy
For a Scorpio, lack of motivation in others can really get under their skin. These folks were just born with a real drive to achieve and constantly improve themselves, so seeing people waste potential or just sit around doing nothing really bugs them. They have zero patience for excuses and really value hard work and persistence. If someone close to them is slacking off or putting things off, they’ll probably give it to them straight to get them going again.
Just being lazy or stagnant is not in their vocabulary at all. They expect the people they’re close with, like partners, friends, and coworkers, to have that same determination – anything less just isn’t okay in their book. Instead of nagging others about being lazy though, they’d be better off surrounding themselves with people who are also go-getters and help motivate them to accomplish more.
Heads In The Clouds
They see the world in a very pragmatic light. Daydreamers and those with their heads in the clouds don’t exactly see eye to eye with them. Scorpios value hard work, dedication, and making dreams into realities through consistent effort.
If you’re more of an idea person who talks a good game but doesn’t actually get much done, a Scorpio may not be your biggest fan. They have little patience for those who fantasize without working to make fantasies facts. In their view, dreams are meaningless unless you put in the work to achieve them.
What Scorpios really respect are go-getters who set reasonable goals and follow through on them through determination. All talk and no action isn’t something a Scorpio will have time for. They’d rather surround themselves with people who dream big but also roll up their sleeves to turn dreams into destinies.
Don’t Get On Scorpio’s Nerves..Just Saying!
Now that you know what pushes their buttons, you can avoid stepping in it with your Scorpio pals. And hey, Scorpios, maybe go easy on people if they mess up now and then. Not everyone experiences emotions the way you do! Let little things roll off your back instead of darting someone for a tiny mistake. Your crew will love how much more relaxed you seem. Keeping things light and breezy will serve you well with relationships of all kinds.
