I want to speak freely here... I sometimes feel that some people on LL can get really touchy and iffy about how people describe their perspective on certain matters. With that being said, this is just *my* experience and how I perceive the world given my aspects/placements. What may be true for me, isn't necessarily the case for others.

Anyway... As someone who's Pisces heavy, I've come to realize with time that the devotion, love, and concern I so selflessly (and foolishly) give away to others is usually not reciprocated. I believe that you only come to see your truth about people, in general, when you sacrifice yourself to someone who destroys you in return. This is something that, I feel, is destined to occur to a Pisces. I've experienced this time and time again, so much so, that I do not feel pain with loss. There is one person in this world, my best friend, whom I trust 100%. If I lose her, I know that I will never ever trust a soul again. I think I might actually discard of myself, as there will have been (to me) no hope left in humanity.

I find it hard to trust people because there is absolutely nothing worse than to disassemble yourself into nothingness in servitude and love and compassion for someone who flicks you away with not so much as a shudder. It hurts. It's a pain to which there is absolutely no comparison. How can I allow myself to dissolve beneath your feet, and you merely step over the puddle that has become of me as though it were only another obstruction in your path? Painful... Painful!

I have a hard time trusting, not in the sense of telling people "secrets" or even opening up or anything of that sort. I just don't trust that people will remain devoted. I don't trust that their love is pure or their presence enduring. I don't trust that, if I bear my weary soul to them, that they will take me in. In fact, I think I will be spat out.

This is why I have a hard time trusting...

I'm a sun and mercury pisces and yes, I always have had a hard time trusting people but I attribute this to my Scorpio rising and other Scorpio placements rather than Pisces. I know other Pisces people and they don't seem to have this issue, they use to love freely, without expecting anything back.

They have a hard time trusting as they cheat lots. They know what they are capable of.

Yeah, I have been hurt in the past. Multiple times. Over and over again. The way I treat people is never a reflection of my trust issues. I always give people my all but what I feel inwardly is distrust, a lack of hope. But you'd never guess it. You'd think I'd learn to stop going out of my way for people, but it's just such a foundational part of my nature that, no matter how much I beat myself up for it, I never stop. In fact, I uphold it all the while, I feel myself breaking inside.

I agree with this. I know that my love is unconditional, unrelenting and encompassing, and I also know that even the people I love who are in my life still just don't seem to be able to love me as hard as I love them (obviously we all show love in different ways, but that's how it feels sometimes).

Coz being the last sign, they understand the games the first 11 signs play all too well

My mother is a pisces sun/asc/venus. She was piscean I suppose. Well, before life made her jaded anyway.

It's defence mechanism. I think Pisceans have gentle heart and they believe in goodness of the people. Unfortunately for them, people aren't always good to them, in fact they can be very cruel, and thus left Pisceans broken-hearted.
Pisces people guard their heart (or the remaining pieces of it) by keep suspicious of people and good thing that happen to them and waiting for another shoe to drop. They don't want to hope, only to be shattered again. Poor souls.

I must say this not belong exclusively to Pisceans. all the people who suffer betrayal, backstabbing, bullying, etc would hardened their heart. It's how they survive.

Not sure why. But I seriously lost many people over this.

I need to have several girlfriends at a time, when the one I truly love screws me over, I bounce back quicker.

My natal chart is heavy with Piscean influences and I certainly do find it EXTREMELY hard to trust people. Why? Its because people these days take kindness, humility and sensitivity for granted. The only time people seem to appreciate this aspect is when they're hurt or going through a hard time where a little bit of tenderness is all they need at the time. I am very cautious as to whom I'm share that part of myself with because not too many people get to see my tender heart. I think its my Mercury in Aquarius that allows me to discern people
s characteristics from a distance and my Libra planets help me to become a little impartial. I'm aware that not all people are toxic, but I have to protect myself from toxic personalities by having my trust earned honorably instead of it just being given.

Honestly, there are a good and bad side of pisces ripple

I think pisces tend to idealize things and not in touch with reality. They can also play victim and think of themselves as someone needed to be saved. The reality sometimes is too harsh for them because they can intuit the truth and can feel so much but being the 12th sign, they do not feel like they should claim things for themselves like scorpio or cancer... So they escape reality and in doing so, avoid truly getting to know others and face their pain and pisces natives' own pain.

Another thing is since they can intuit others feelings and can respond do well, they get away with not showing their true feelings. An aries for example would wear his/her heart on the sleeves and in that way a lit more vulnerable and exposed. A pisces can totally get away with emoting whatever the other person is emoting and get away with not having to reveal themselves

Don't be silly, plenty of Pisces aren't that way.

Is there something in your chart that would make it hard for you to attract good Pisces?

It's something I wonder about many here who hold one sign or placement above all others as inherently rotten when that's just silly, though aspects in one chart can interact poorly with aspects in the chart of someone else. (Alternately, being burned badly by ONE person could make them seek it out in everyone else who shares it until that's all they see, but it's selective vision rather than an unbiased observation.)
