Zodiac: These are the worst traits of a Scorpio

Scorpios have a very polarizing reputation among the zodiac signs. While famously alluring and enigmatic, they can also frighten people with their intensity, often causing them to make questionable decisions. Your emotional depth, combined with extraordinary cunning, makes you an intimidating force to be reckoned with—in both bad and good ways!

Here are a few things people least like about you, Scorpio:

Obsessive

As a fixed sign, you are loyal and committed to those you love. While that’s normally an amazing thing, you tend to get attached very quickly, observes Emily Van Devender of YourTango—which means you’re prone to obsession! You tend to have all sorts of schemes and plans to keep your love interest wrapped around your finger. The harder you hold onto them, the more likely they’ll squirm and want to run away.

Jealous

Your obsessiveness also manifests as jealousy, as you want your friends and romantic partners all to yourself, warns YourTango. You form assumptions in the blink of an eye about them, even when there’s nothing to worry about—you tend to perceive an innocent, platonic conversation your partner has with someone else as a threat, and you’re ready to jump the gun and act on it. Be a little more trusting if you want your relationships to last!

Controlling

Your emotions are complex, so you often grapple with keeping them under control. When you feel frustrated about this, you take it out on your loved ones, controlling them so that they act the way you want them to. This is the fastest way to lose your closest connections, so ease your grip on them and let them be themselves!

Insecure

You have high standards for yourself, which is also why you’re terrified of never being good enough in the eyes of your friends and family, according to YourTango. You crave validation and respect from those you look up to, which often causes you to overcompensate by throwing yourself into every commitment available to prove that you’re good enough. Remember that you’re worthy just as you are.
