I'm wondering what all the other scorps out there think about that, or maybe, what other signs have experienced with our "stare"?

I personally have always looked people directly in the eye the entire time we talk, and I've been told that I have a "death look" that I shoot at people (particularly men I'm sooo not interested in but who won't go away). Lately people have been pointing that out- that I can shrivel someone with this look that I have. I am a very friendly person and usually very approachable, so it's not like I do it all the time just so you know. But I've also noticed that I have to moderate my eye contact with certain people. I've also begun to notice that the only other people who maintain constant eye contact when talking to me is other scorps, and some people even look in my eyes and then away again really quickly, almost darting their eyes around. That's when I usually look away, because I can tell they are sstarting to get uncomfortable, and then they relax immediately. I make sure to smile and nod when people talk to me, and I am good at looking fascinated with the subject even when I'm not, but for some reason all those things still can't get some people to be comfortable when I look them in the eye. I can also tell when people are looking me directly in the eye, and when they are looking at me between the eyes (a lot of public speakers suggest that if you can't look people in the eye, look between their eyes and it's almost the same thing).

Just thought this would be an interesting topic, because I didn't know until I read Linda's books that it was a trait of scorps at all. I never thought that of my eyes as being intense, and I thought that the eye contact thing was fairly normal. You know, just showing respect and confidence. I rarely look people in the face when I can't stand them.

Do you guys know what I'm talking about?

On the flip side, my mom's a double Scorp. All she had to do was look at me in that special way to scare the sh@t out of me and make me stop whatever I was doing immediately.

When I'm with a Scorpio, there's always this air of distrust between us. Not much laughing. No laughing isn't sexy.

Her stare was inocent, but I knew every inch of that inocents was... shall I say, false? hmm.... there was a level of awearness in that "inocents" I'll leave it at that...

Scorps have a way of fascinating you with the way they look at you, which intrigues me. It's flattering. I've noticed that Scorpios have a very 'fixed' way of looking at you, almost a steely steadiness to their gaze.

I don't give anyone a particular look or stare, but I do appear engaged and interested. My father (Sag) taught me to look people in the eyes when you're talking with them. But when I'm trying to get information out of someone (that could be anything from "what do you want to do w/ this thing" to more serious issues), I probably do give that penetrating stare. I know I can express a lot through my eyes, all the while maintaining completely neutral facial expressions.

When I stare into another scorps eyes, I don't usually feel overpowered or anything, I'm just totally aware that they are staring right back at me and holding it. It's not that common for me, so I get a little surprised until I realize they are probably scorps too.
