It’s easy to fall under Scorpio’s spell. These natives have an aura of mystery around them. They are sexy, funny, and passionate. But they can be too intense for us ordinary folks.
Scorpio rivals Gemini as the most hated sign, and that’s saying something. If you’re interested in a stereotypical Scorpio, think twice. When your relationship is good, it’s really good, but when it’s bad, it’s a horror show.
Why are Scorpios so Annoying?
1. They are thin-skinned
As anyone who has ever dated a Scorpio knows, they can be extremely sensitive. The slightest criticism can send them into a tailspin, and they are quick to take offense at even the most innocuous comments.
Scorpios fear betrayal and losing control. They will do everything to hide their vulnerable side. They are hypervigilant, displaying hostile behavior towards perceived slights or attacks. So, they can be very difficult to deal with when they are upset.
When a Scorpio freaks out, be calm and don’t engage. Wait for them to cool off. Like their animal symbol, the scorpion, they will simply retreat to their hiding place when wounded. And seriously, the hot sex is not worth the sting.

2. They are hot-tempered and vindictive
Scorpio has two ruling planets. Its ancient ruler was Mars until the discovery of Pluto in 1930. As a result, Scorpios have a tough exterior and a seething volcano of emotions underneath. That accounts for their passions and extremes.
As I’ve said, Scorpios are notoriously touchy people. They are also prone to sudden violent temper. When they are feeling out of sorts, they pick fights with those closest to them, making everyone feel miserable.
Hurt them and you are doomed forever. They can forgive and forget, but their instinct is to get even. Mind you, their vengeance has a long memory. Even in revenge, they never do anything half-heartedly.

3. They can be jealous and possessive
Although down to earth, both men and women with a dominant Scorpio placement are demanding and possessive. As fixed water, they have high standards.
They don’t fall in and out of love often because they are picky with whom they entrust their hearts.
They can be protective of their friends under the best circumstances. In love, they demand honesty, monogamy, passion, and lasting commitment. They demand to be the center of your world. But their passionate nature can manifest as intense jealousy.
They can be very faithful but possessive. Even when a relationship ends, they cannot let go. This makes it hard for them to start a new relationship.

4. They can be manipulative
Self-control is paramount to this deadly arachnid. They will never admit to being powerless. They feel a sense of relief when they are in control.
An evolved Scorpio will use its persuasive nature in positive ways like helping people meet their needs or fixing chaotic situations.
But Scorpios are more than just the passionate, intense people you know. They have a hidden dark side that can turn them into monsters. An undeveloped Scorpio enjoys outwitting any person or institution using devious tactics.
The Scorpio’scontrolling behavior often ends up in bullying and manipulating people for their own advantage. At their worst, they may choose to use their powerful magnetism to coerce others into doing something they wouldn’t normally do, like the infamous Scorpio Charles Manson.
5. They are secretive spies
There is nothing simple about understanding Scorpio. Their complex temperament is impossible to decode.
It is not in their nature to reveal themselves completely. Whatever they appear to be is not the whole truth.
But as much as they dislike being exposed, they like knowing everyone else’s secrets. They possess a deep intuition—a radar-like vision that sees through people. Astrologers deduce that Scorpio makes a talented undercover sleuth.
Scorpio’s curiosity is immeasurable but they guard their privacy to the point of insanity. Scorpios “connect the dots” like a pro! Unfortunately, some have a tendency to use their penetrating intelligence in manipulating people for their own greed.
Which Zodiac Signs Find Scorpios Most Annoying? (Incompatibility)
1. Gemini
Gemini and Scorpio are two signs that don’t seem to go together. Watching their relationship unfold is like watching a tragic soap opera.
The drama is intense and all-consuming, but it doesn’t end in a happily ever after.
Gemini is a gregarious social butterfly; free-spirited and refuses to be controlled. The scorpion is too intense for the fickle twin. Gemini is always changing, while Scorpio likes things to stay exactly the same.
It’s not that they don’t have anything in common—they both enjoy a good mystery, for example, but they are just too different to really click.
2. Aquarius
This is an unusual union with lots of emotional roadblocks along the way. Water and air don’t really get along.
Aquarius is independent and has a short attention span. Scorpio is uncompromising. Let’s face it, only a few people will match the long list of qualities that Scorpio requires.
Scorpio is also a very intense sign, while Aquarius is more easygoing. In addition, Scorpio is ruled by the planet Mars, which is aggressive, while Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, which is rebellious. Overall, this is a difficult but brilliant pairing when it works.
3. Leo
Being in a relationship with a Scorpio is not for the faint of heart. Scorpios are notoriously intense, passionate, and hard to figure out. They often have a dark and mysterious quality that can be both intriguing and frustrating.
For Leo, who likes to be in control and be the center of attention, this can be a lot to handle. Scorpios are also very independent and have a strong need for privacy. This can make it difficult for Leo to feel included and appreciated.
Moreover, Leo’s pride can be easily wounded by Scorpio’s sharp tongue. However, if these two signs can learn to respect and understand each other’s differences, they may find that they have a lot to offer each other.
4. Sagittarius
The differences between Sagittarius and Scorpio are pretty striking. On the one hand, you have Scorpio, who is complicated and covert; on the other hand, you have Sagittarius, who is a “what you see is what you get” type of person.
Add to that the fact that the scorpion seeks total involvement while the archer wants independence, and you’ve got trouble brewing in the pot.
What happens here depends on how much real affection they have for each other, and how much both are willing to adjust. If they can find a way to meet in the middle, then this relationship has a chance of succeeding. Otherwise, you should probably steer clear.

Together these two signs form a harmonious romance with great intensity. They share a lot in common including the water element—a sexual combination that’s hot but not casual at all!

2. Taurus
What happens when opposite powerhouse signs of water and earth meet? There is definitely a strong attraction! The bull is the scorpion’s intellectual equal.

The earthy Taurus sign can help to soothe and stabilize the more destructive tendencies of Scorpio. Both Taurus and Scorpio are known for being passionate, loyal, and committed.

3. Capricorn
Water signs are generally compatible with earth signs, and this combination is the most sensual. The scorpion respects the goat’s work ethic and commitment to its goals. The goat loves the scorpion’s passion and sense of humor.
Scorpio knows just how to bring out the warm, loving side of the sometimes stern Capricorn. On the other hand, Capricorn knows how to get Scorpio out of a bad mood. They have a special connection that brings out the best in each other.
These two are attracted to each other’s quiet intensity, and there is mutual respect for each other’s abilities. Both Signs are loyal and committed, and they’ll work hard to make this relationship last.
