I also have a Scorpio stellium.

My libra moon balances things out sort of so although I'm very off beat and socially awkward, I can hang with the "cool kids" too when the occasion calls for it.

Uranus is also in my 9th sextile my Sun, squaring my moon, and quintile my mercury so my upbringing was never traditional or socially acceptable.

My first language is English, but I grew up speaking both Spanish and English.

My mercury is also retrograde in Scorpio along with Cancer ruling my 3rd to top it all off so I am very sensitive to my environment and being in the company of other people.

I get stressed out and sweaty in awkward situations sometimes although I hide all of this VERY well.

You would never know unless I told you and even then you might not believe it.

I'm most comfortable one on one in a comfy warm place vibing to some tunes.

I'm offbeat in the sense where I don't really know how to keep up with small chit chat people have in every day life.

It's weird and I really don't know how to describe it, but I'm so not good at small talk. It makes me uncomfortable and nervous.

Leo Ic has them progressively stay true to who they are the older they get. Sort of like they "discover" their true selves later in life and feel like life has just begun.

If I’m in a social situation and I don’t know a lot of people I will still put myself out there and talk to people. Even if I act really awkward.
One thing that makes me cringe a lot. Seeing people in social situations on their phone! Not interacting with anyone....? It’s also just a bad first impression. I understand that social situations are hard sometimes, but that’s what alcohol is for. Jk! (Kinda)

Or at least push yourself to socialize before being on your phone! I’ll sometimes be on my phone later but I make sure it’s not somebody’s first impression of me.

That is just cringe for me, but I’m sure me attempting to socialize is cringe for others to watch sometimes! Lol

My boyfriend is the type to be on his phone if he doesn’t really know anyone. It’s so embarrassing! He does it around his family too though. So I try not to take it personally.
I’ve let him know I frown upon it though. Being on the phone so much is a solitary activity. You’ll have solitary time later not now. He was on his phone for an ice cream date...I blurted out “what is so god damn important?!” He was on reddit.

I understand EXACTLY what you mean about the phone issue! People don't realize how dumb it makes them look in those situations. You're basically disconnecting from the present and going somewhere else when you're doing that with other people where you should be present.

I had some friends I knew back before smartphones blew up. Then, one day, we'd planned a small reunion. We hadn't seen each other for a LONG time, mind you. So, we go into a cafe, I'm talking to them and then one says "hold up got a text!" And then she spent nearly the remainder of our meeting on her phone. And I was like (as she was on her phone. "So, how's so and so?" And she was like "uh, yeah, fine." Like a half assed dead answer. And the other friend, well, she took a cue from the first and was like "welp I don't wanna just chat all alone so I'll go on my phone, too 8D!"

Meanwhile, I had a phone, and avoided using it. How pathetic would it have looked if all three of us, after not seeing each other for so long, just decided to whip out or phones, grunt at each other, and then leave saying "it was nice seeing u "

And it's a vicious cycle because I think part of what makes people addicted is because they're not getting their needs met in the present, in real bonding situations, so they keep filling that social void with their phone - ignoring what's going on around them.

And I think what also happens is that, there might be people who REALIZE that this is an actual problem in social situations - but what do you do when all of your friends have their heads down and aren't fully present or engaged? That person will also have a social bonding void, and will also need to be like everyone else, be on their phone, to get some engagement.

I also don't like wasting my time, and being with people who aren't making an effort to be present and not dissociate irk me a lot. If they don't get a handle on themselves and learn how and when it's appropriate to be on your phone, then essentially it becomes pointless to even spend time with each other. What's worse is when people try to use these emotionally driven excuses to back up their bad habit so they don't have to take responsibility and become more aware.

But it also says about them that they no longer have much awareness, or care for themselves, or others. Not about the time and effort others take, and don't even value themselves enough to be present. And then you've got parents who push phones onto their little kids... I wonder what the next generation will be like....

My sister limits my nieces tv and pad time. Well today when I came over there her time was up and my Aquarius niece got so mad she threw the iPad. So time out and that made her wail and scream even more. Look a while to reason that throwing an iPad could break it. Lol

You are both on point about this annoying cellphone thing.

Some restaurants even ban cells and have "talk to each other. Socialize" placards on their walls Its insane.

Aquarius also speaks of the tendency for one to project emotion on to an object or machine.

The next generation will have sex dolls instead of boyfriends/girlfriends, virtual hangout spots instead of restaurants etc.

And instead of getting to know whom the other is fully,we will just want to take the good bits. The photo shopped virtual parts.

Aquarius rules fast foods and conveniences
So I do see instant gratification being the staple social necessity in generations to come.

There are Aqua midheaven/Asc/Moon/Sun people who form part of the wave to continually inundate this life with technology and all those conveniences that come with it.

But then there are also other Aquarius people who are vehemently against technology being used as a necessary backbone to existence.

The former will be seen as "progressive" or "genius". Whilst the latter will be seen as " weird" and "eccentric" by not wanting to conform etc.

I work in a science field. I tend to get involved with the misfits. I value freedom and go absolutely batty if I am pushed into a rigid social structure - ultra sensitive to any kind of dogmatic behavior, I often confront it, which tends to make me unpopular with the types that derive satisfaction and comfort from certainty and status quo, no matter the cost.

In regards to the first post about many people saying they're different or socially odd, yes, I am one of those people, though I did not start out believing this about myself. As I grew up, my experiences led me to realize that I am different and the way I was treated when I was very young had a lot to do with me developing this opinion.

@Stawr. What house is the Sun?

My sun is in the 11th house

Either ones identity(Sun) is strongly tied to ideals (11th). One joins a group /organization to further a cause they feel necessary to their existence.

Self expression is heightened through joining a cause or group.

On the other hand,one may preclude themselves from groupthink or groups, individuating themselves and being a one man band who wants to live outside peer influences or mass consciousness.

Both positions however do point to an individual who is an independent thinker at heart.
