You know Pisces, those little fish that are said to be one of the nicest signs according to horoscopes? Well, it isn’t always so simple with them. With Pisces, it’s like they have two different personalities pulling them in opposite directions.
Let me tell you about why Pisces can be so hard to figure out and how to handle it when they’re acting up. They definitely live up to being the two-faced sign sometimes, but there are reasons for it.
The Duality of Pisces
One of the main reasons Pisces have a double personality is because they are represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions, symbolizing the conflicting sides of their personality.
One fish just rolls with the flow while the other goes against the current. One is as calm as can be, but the other gets really angry and toxic. Unlike Geminis, who are said to have two sides, Pisces take it to the next level.
One minute, they’re happy as a clam out there enjoying life; the next, they’re bawling into their pillow over nothing. And they can go from being a total snooze to the life of the party in a single minute. They’ll be blowing up your phone with texts but then just stop suddenly and leave you on read for days on end.
It isn’t just their mood swings or feeling everything super deeply. For Pisces, the problem is those two opposite sides – like black and white, light and dark, or sweet and sour. And those two things just don’t mix well together most of the time.
Does This Make Pisces Bad?
Have you ever been ghosted by a Pisces man or woman? They say they’ll always be there for you, but then, when you need them most, they’re nowhere to be found.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that makes them a bad person, though. From what I’ve seen, Pisces don’t usually mean any harm. They really are kind and caring people deep down. It’s just that they’ve got a lot going on inside their own heads, too. Their demons are always battling it out in there, and it isn’t got anything to do with you!
Pisces tend to absorb other people’s vibes like a sponge. So, if they’re not feeling too hot emotionally, it starts to color how they interact with everyone else. I am not saying it’s right, but I think that’s usually where the ghosting or their behavior comes from with them. Their mood gets the better of them before they can stop it.
Their Escapism
Sometimes, it’s really tough for Pisces to balance the two sides of their personality, represented by the two fish. When issues come up, they often just run away or hole up in their room instead of facing what’s going on or being honest.
Some Pisces will even turn to alcohol or drugs because they don’t know how to manage their energy levels in a healthy way. They think these temporary fixes will solve all their problems forever, but that’s obviously not true. Most of that stuff just makes their well-being worse in the long run.
The weird thing is, even Pisces seem to hate how much they escape from things. I guess that shows their dual nature with the two fish – they bail but then miss what they had before. Or they’ll do something but simultaneously dislike it. It’s like they’re always kind of torn between two sides of themselves.
Their Texting Style
When it comes to texting, Pisces can be a little all over the place. One moment, they’ll be chatting with you for days on end, and the next, they’ll play their waiting games or just drop off the face of the earth – no replies, no activity on social media, no likes, no comments, messages unread.
But it’s usually not actually about you, it’s more about what’s going on in their head. Sometimes, if they send something they think is risky or revealing, they’ll turn off notifications or just ignore their phone for a while. It’s like one part of them is all, “Go for it, hit send!” and the other part surfaces later like, “Oh god, why did I do that? I hate myself.”
Other times, they just don’t feel up to talking to anyone at all. They know they should reply to your texts, but they don’t do it. Instead, they’ll spend all day thinking about it and regretting that they didn’t get back to you. So again, it’s their two sides battling it out.
What’s The Fix?
As they say, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Your astrological sign can influence your personality for sure. But don’t think that just because someone’s a Pisces, they can’t be a good person, too.
I know Pisces people sometimes feel like they’ve two sides battling inside them. But there is a way to work on that. Ultimately, they’ve got to want to fix it themselves. They need to understand that ignoring problems, putting things off, avoiding tough feelings, or getting too lost in their emotions isn’t helping. It’s up to them to realize they’ve got the power to change things. They just have to make the choice to do better.
