They are difficult people to get to know because they are psychological trap doors.
Scorpios socialize from behind a double-sided mirror, always scanning, reading you while you can only see your own reflection. They prefer to be the people asking the questions, removing your skin with their perceptive scalpel and taking inventory of your pulsing viscera. They subtly probe and push your pressure points so they can get the answer they're seeking. Scorpios are keenly aware of power, its flows, and their position within its matrix.
Despite their ability to be popular, there’s something very lonely about Scorpios. They have a ruthless view of the world. Eat or be eaten. Their knowledge of other people’s internal structures gives them an edge over the competition. They know how to play people against each other. Every human interaction is a meeting of opposing powerful forces. A clashing of wants and needs where somebody wins and somebody loses. They are forthcoming and evasive at the same time, depending on what is situationally beneficial. They are blunt, but not without tact. They are intentional about the information they reveal. They’re not liars, they don't spread lies, but they are masters of opening windows on certain truths while concealing others behind heavy curtains.
When they do let someone in, they fall in love completely. They can be fiercely possessive. Scorpios want to learn everything about you. They want to be around you as much as possible and can get attached scarily fast.
