Loneliness is shared feeling, believe me, you Scorpios don't have a monopoly on it (just saying this to reassure you).... I've been feeling pretty lonely myself.

Do not dispair.

While I feel for you & have been "there", perhaps we can say that wehave been "spared" by these people who backed away?

For them to back away like that means they don't have the "stones" to be with you in the first place, so celebrate the fact that you have been saved from wasting your time with another loser. Gotta look at the bright side ladies.

I'm now in my 5th year of celebacy & quite frankly I'm happy. What I want is exceptional & it's taken me some time to truly know that about myself.

Mediocre just doesn't cut it.

When I was a teenager, a guy once said this before swooping in to try to make out with me--not "You're intense," but "You're TOO intense."

Then again, I'm not a Scorpio--just a Leo with Sun-Merc-Mars in the 8th house and some Pluto stuff happening--so if a guy finds ME too intense, chances are he is a colossal weenie.

Think of the antonyms for intense: mild, moderate, temperate, dull.

As in "I thought you were too intense when I met you, but then I got to know you."

Sistahs, pleeeezzzzzeee. Whatevs.

I will take intensity over milksop blandness, any day.

I'm not a Scorpio, but a Scorpio Rising.

Who wants to live a life of mediocrity, anyways? Revel in it, I say.

collosal weenies is right.

you need a special kind of love, it will come, but just anybody won't do. strong women with intellegence is enough to scare weenies off.

you need someone who not only can handle the intensity, but someone who revels in it! and encourage you to channel it and focus on awesome things! then the sky is the limit and there is nothing that you want that you can't have! it will come, but that is a special person and special people are like needles in the haystack, you only find them when you step on one by accident!

you need the love of a lifetime! it will come!

(I haven't read the other responses, so forgive me if I repeat something)

Intensity is not good or bad. I can't stand people who make us feel as if there is something wrong with us for having the capacity to feel more than they do (or for having the propensity of expressing what we feel, more than they).

I'm sorry that you're feeling alone, but just hold on a bit longer because you probably will be just right to another intense person. Besides, if someone can't handle your intensity, they'll probably bore you really soon.

Strangers and new acquaintances don't see any intensity in me thanks to my Gemini ASC. I show the real me (Scorpio sun-moon) only to people close to me. But they don't see much of it either because I have lots of planets in Libra and a few in Sagittarius.

I once dated a Gemini who affectionately called me Psychochick.

Soooo true!!! Guys who say this are attracted to you, but scared they'll be exposed as the little weenies they are in the face of all your intensity. It specifically means they are attracted when they say this. It can be translated into, "You're hot and powerful and I'm a meek little wimp."

Get comments all the time..and I know some people can't deal with my presense, some enjoy it.

As for your intensity, i personally think its awesome. I'm a Cancer sun, my best guy & girl friends are Scorps & so is my love. Its something I love about all of them. No wishy washy crap. I think its best tempered with a bit of balance though & we laugh a lot too when we're done 'delving depths'.

I agree with every post above that insinutates it would take a special love and a real man/woman to appreciate and reciprocate.

Just remember to be true to yourself, and sad for those who can't handle it, and understanding for those who aren't evolved or strong enough at the moment to handle your intensity.

I'm a Cancer. I'm insecure and sensitive, sure. But I believe in people, believe in you

As a Cancerian, sensitivity is one of my biggest problems. I tend to overanalyze, see hurt where none was intended and sometimes even when I know i should say something, i don't coz i worry its too hurtful - when it isn't & its only my sensitivity causing me to feel that way.

In trying to change that, i'm working on what works for *me* as a level of sensitivity. I have Air parents, Fire siblings etc. & while it feels tough at times, its also been a blessing coz their directness has helped desensitize a lot.

Mostly creepy drunk homeless men=I look relatively old and fat.

Mostly gawking middle aged businessmen types=I look thin and a little icy.

Mostly young, attractive guys=I look GOOD. And young.

Most guys, including straight guys in couples discreetly checking me out, and gay men stopping to tell me I am beautiful=I am ON and really looking my best.

It's annoying to deal with constant harrassment but still be completely unable to attract the guys I want to attract!! I think it has something to do with the "too intense" thing.

That's why those guys in NYC were oogling you...there was this essence, this incredible energy and you were feeling good girl...they wanted some of that!!!
