Do you always care what people think ?
Do you always look for reasssurance on how you look,dress or do things?

Scorpios know what they are and compliments and criticism doesn't make any difference to them. I had read somewhere but is it really true?

I guess...Libra and Cancer influence can change that. What have been your expereince?

Scorpio being a water sign makes them very sensitive and emotional, so I think that compliments and criticism would affect them very much although they might not show it. But as far as reassurance goes I think I would bet on Cancer & Pisces.

Yeah Pisces. I constantly need my ego stroked
What other say will leave an emotional dent in me - lasting for either a few mins to decades ( depending on how bad or good )
But that doesn’t mean I’ll let what others think affect my decisions. What I feel and do are two separate things.

Yes, Cancer and Pisces.... I know a Cancer/Libra rising.... He is very much in need of reassurance... he seems to thrive on it..
But also Virgo females too... not so sure on the men... But with most virgo women i know.. myself included... with seeming to have so much going for us...it's surprising how often we look for reassurance and usually from those who have no intention on giving it to us....?

I'd throw Leos on that list - well, they more like demand it, by going over the top on everything they do. They don't want to be just 'ok', they want to be spectacular. The sooner they get the reassurance they need, the sooner they can relax and stop pushing things to the next level.

I'm talking about the pure, non-zen Leo here. The mature or shy pussycats are much more laid back. Some even hide from the spot-light. (like me, with all my 8th house energy, for instance)

I'm a Cap, and I operate much better with praise than I do with criticism.

really !
but caps are considerd to be the one who can easily cut off .
do u think , this works for caps in general too ?


well , my guess , cancers and libras for sure .

as for scorps and gems , they do care for reassurances but the inherent stubbornness in scorps and sense of superrioty ( knowledge wise) doesn't let them accept this .

Pisces (full time project but they can be so cute, it's very very hard to deny them effusiveness but they soak it up like a plant needing water...)

Libra (ask you to repeat everything over and over again...need to to hear and be heard and be coddled)

Cancer and Scorpios(but you don't know it till you **** them off accidentally yet royally..they need reassurance but they sure ain't asking for it point blank...They can seem highly self sufficient...) LOL.

Oh and PS...unless I truly respect and revere someone, I really don't care what others think about me. The other people can make and break my day. I care maybe too much.. (gem sun/mer/aries moon/mars/sag rising/taurus venus pisces/chiron)

Leos definitely need a lot of reassurance, most have low self esteem, which is something you dont' realize till you get to kwnow them better.

Capricorns can get very insecure at times, especially about their partners and closest friends.

Pisces needs a rock to cling to, if they go too long without reassurance they start floating away in the streams of consciousness.

As a sagittarius I dont' like criticisms OR praise. I notice that people who give a lot of praise often give a lot of criticisms too. I don't like my happiness being dependent on someone ELSES commentary. My happiness is internal, and its a product of who I am, and the god inside me, not of praise given by others.

We can, but still we're much better working from a place of security.

Leos and Cancers.

LEOS need constant praise but are more outward about their need for attention..or maybe it's just that it's a lot more OBVIOUS in their attempt that they need reassurance ... usually reassurance that they are the BEST above anyone else!

CANCERS I find need more reassurance than most people I have ever met. But I have found it's less obvious because they tend to me more shy than Leos.

But I know many Cancer men that actually get phsyically sick to their stomachs if they dont' get the reassurance they need ... that they are loved OR if they end up feeling hurt in some way.

When I used to sell used cars, a very cut-throat business, this sweet artist (a Cancer) could not approach someone on the carlot to save his life. He would freeze up, get sick and couldn't sell a single car if his life depended on it. It made NO SENSE to me whatsover (me being Aries/Taurus)... but I finally grew to understand him... people that need a lot of reassurance usually have low self-esteem, worry a lot and live in more a state of fear... 'what if they don't like me?' 'what if I mess up?' 'what if, what if, what if...'

Gotta believe in yourself first

Pisces or 12th house...

I'm a taurus w/ scorpio moon cancer rising...w/ a heavy 12th house. I have a tendency to self-deprecate and i don't have much confidence...but my scorpio mother w/ sagg moon is there for me for reassurance. Plus, w/ the virgos in my chart...i can be quite critical of myself.

Leo's - this leo - needs affirmation and has tendancies to be people pleasers and at times put others thoughts, feelings and needs above thier own. Truly need to feel like a "good" person.

Well "leos" are feel good people. The concept of happiness is very important to them, and they fight depression or bad moods stronger than other signs.

Every sign needs reassurance, they just need reassurance in different ways. For example, gemini has to have their intellect reassured, taurus their security, virgo their usefulness etc etc.

Regarding what Acoustic God said and the other Capricorn comment, I agree and think we need approval and reassurance but not as much as Leo or Pisces would. We would also never readily admit it or show it.

I too think Pisces, Cancer, and Leos need reassurance often.

Would security-conscious Taurus also need reassurance often? I ask because my Taurean friend always asks me a zillion questions about my feelings for him and he's been like this since I've known him (21 yrs).

Mystic Gemini,

I have to agree with you. All the scorpios I know including myself have very subtle ways of getting that reassurance we need. It defiantly isn't obvious and sometimes the other person doesn't even realize that is what we are looking for. we scorps are very cunning when it comes to fishin for those compliments.

Deffinitely Cancers - they'll never ask for it, but Cancers wither without affirmation. They need to be constantly reminded that they are cared and throught well of for or worry sets in. They probably would never say anything (especially at first) but the fear sits in their minds taking root and growing larger.

Leo's need less emotional affirmation and more outright admiration. For Leo's praise is the sun that allows them to flower. And what beautiful flowers they make.

I'm not sure about other signs. I've found that everyone has little insecurities that need to be taken care of, but I haven't found any sign that desperately needs input from other people as much as the two above.

Water signs definatly are the most emotional and sensitive.

I'm an aquarian with a lot of water in my chart, and I dress differently but it hurts my feelings when people say something bad about my outfit or style. I hate saying it but it's true

------------------
aquarius sun, pisces rising, scorpio moon

You never looked so good
as you did last night, underneath the city lights...There walking with your friend, laughing at the moon.I swear you looked right through me. But I’m still living with your goodbye,
and you’re just going on with your life...

Geminis-Insecure about how they're seen by others. They always try to look and sound intelligent, even if it means making something up that sounds smart but isn't factual. Always careful about the way they look in the eyes of others, always watching how other people watch them- watch their body language carefully when they're trying to make a good impression. Suffer from these sort of social paranoias and anxieties a lot. Seem to like using big words and catchy phrases to look smart. Okay, don't shoot me now-PLEASE don't shoot me.

Cancers-Very, VERY needy. They seem to need to possess someone to call their own all the time, otherwise they get 'sucked into' the prescence of someone who they think will like them.

Leos-As long and everyone knows they're the best, they aren't hurt. As long as everyone likes them, they aren't angry. One thing I've noticed is that if you top them in anything, they become really jealous and will make something up to show you that they are better than you and make YOU feel jealous of THEM- They seem to think that your feeling of jealousy towards them cancels out their justification to be jealous of you.

Virgos-This has been mentioned already, but virgos have a very very soft heart. They cannot stand to see someone suffer emotionally or physically, unless of course they brought it on themselves. They need to know everyone is okay.

Libras-Similar to geminis, but less animated. More suave.

Scorpios-They don't need reassurance but they want it subconsciously. But if you don't give it to them they will dig their heels regardless.

Sags-"Am I fun? Do I dress sloppy? Do you like me? Am I boring you?" yadda yadda yadda

Capricorn-OMGAWD these people need reassurance, watching their insecurities finally get poked at in public in front of all the people they aspire to become like- its like watching a fish out of water. They will pretend like they don't like you if everyone else doesn't, but as soon as everyone's back is turned they will be your lifeline if you are their real friend.

Aquarius- Very, very easily hurt. When you hurt them they will talk behind your back nonstop and ignore you until you apologize- if its a little thing, don't-remember, they are leo's opposite so carry a shade of their characteristics. Eventually they will forgive you. They don't hold grudges. Other than their hypersensitivity they don't care what you do, as long as you don't care what they do.

Pisces-Don't need reassurance, but will become a social parasite and never leave you alone if they know you are hurting someone else, telling you to stop until you do.

Oddball- how many Caps do you know actually exhibit that 2faced behavior you described? I don't know any that has done that and I have always been the one to stick up for people that get picked on. I am too honest and nice to talk bad about someone just because everyone else is. I am a leader not a follower. I get really upset when people talk about others behind their back. One thing about me is I will tell that person to their face the same stuff I said behind their back. I lost friends that way but I do not compromise my integrity for others. I know a person that used to do that all the time, she was a leo and I stopped hanging with her because of her hypocrisy. I've also known groups of people that do that and they had various different signs. I do agree with you about needing reassurances and feeling insecure in public.
Sorry for ranting I had to defend my sign, hope u understand.

Aries - don't know any who seek reassurance.. unless it involves their appearance (1st house – aries)

Taurus - don't know any Taureans who seek reassurance either

Gemini - yes my double Gem friend likes to know she's intelligent and funny.. she is looking for that, but not overtly

Cancer - not the ones I know. A few people said Cancer, but in my opinion, no

Leo - yes all of the ones I know, mainly when it comes to singing/acting (performing) and romantic situations. A lot of Leos either sing or act or both and need a lot of praise for it. They love being entertainers.. they do have an insecure side like BR said and the reassurance means a lot to them. The same goes for love and sex, they crave reassurance in those areas as well (5th – leo..makes sense)

Virgo - somewhat.. they like to know they've done a good job.. but apart from work or something they built/made with their own hands, they’re not very reassurance seeking.

Libra - only on a superficial level.. The reassurance doesn’t mean all that much to them (specially the ones with scorp In their charts). I don't think any of the ones I know actually *need* reassurance as they are pretty confident...but they do like getting it regardless. I wouldn't say they go "looking" for it.. if they do, they never make it obvious. They get a lot of reassurance without having to look for it..so they’re pretty much used to it and it’s not something they crave.

Scorpio - na, not at all, the Scorpios I know are too calm and collected to want/need or look for reassurance in any area. They’re quite confident and happy with who they are. They also understand life is a very deep experience and one that shouldn’t be constantly clouded by superficialities, so they feel they have more important things to worry about than what others may think of them.

Sag - na, never lol.. Sag couldn't care less what people think of them. They may need assurance when it comes to appearance and dress sense – that’s one thing I noticed.. but usually they don’t care all that much.

Capricorn - similar to Scorpio..not at all.. maybe when they are young, in their teens.. But not once they're settled in their career and happy with where they stand. I've only met one Cap who was very assurance seeking. The rest aren't.

Aqua - hmm..Aquas want to be told they are weird and interesting..so in that way you could say they look for reassurance.. but it's not a priority

Pisces - Pisceans are quite content and at peace with themselves and others, but sometimes those Neptune illusions get the better of them..and they don’t realise this. They might think people dislike them when the opposite is true.. so they might look for reassurance due to this…but they’ll ALWAYS 10 times out of 10 (just like Libra) get it.. they calm down quite a bit and don’t look for it as much.. once they realise they *really* are liked and ppl love them.
