Do Scorpios Hide Their Feelings?

Out of all the signs, Scorpios are the most mysterious and secretive. A Scorpio man is good at hiding everything, particularly his feelings. He knows that when he loves someone it makes him vulnerable to getting hurt. 

He is a very complex and complicated person who has experienced a great deal of upheaval and pain in his life, so the older he gets, the more cautious and pessimistic he becomes. I’m convinced he believes he can will his way out of his feelings. 

Scorpio men tend to hide their feelings and they do so because they are so afraid of getting hurt. It is a form of self-preservation and protection. This isn’t something you should ever take personally, in fact, it is a compliment that you make him feel something.

4 Surefire Signs A Scorpio Man Is Fighting His Feelings For You

1. He Reveals Private Information

A Scorpio man is by nature extremely reserved and private. He doesn’t like having others know certain information about him as he would much rather keep this part of himself a secret. However, when a Scorpio man starts to trust you, he will start becoming more revealing. 

This takes a lot for a Scorpio man to do as he would usually much rather keep these things to himself as this is what makes him feel most safe. But, when he meets someone, perhaps you, who he starts to trust, he will be more willing to share his innermost thoughts. 

This is especially true when he divulges information willingly, without you probing for information. It is much better if he slowly reveals himself to you at his own pace as nothing will make him run faster away than you pressuring him into being intimate and vulnerable. 

2. He Is Extremely Protective Of You

One of the more negative attributes a Scorpio man usually has is being jealous or possessive. These guys can be pretty intense when they know that the woman they are interested in or love might be involved with someone else. 

This is when they can show some protective and even possessive behaviors over you. You might not even realize how much you mean to your Scorpio man until he starts acting out and exercising his greed over you. 

He’ll make it known that you are his and that no one has the right to be near you while he is in your life. He might also be quite subtle about it and pick a fight about something totally unrelated so that he doesn’t show his true colors. He is very confusing!

3. He Gives You Presents

Scorpio men are always collectors of some sort, you might not think it but they can be a little materialistic, and sometimes when they gift you something it means a lot to them because they are trying to express to you how they feel without using words. 

A Scorpio man confused about his feelings might not always understand that he actually likes you and wants to be with you, but then he gets this pull to show you affection and the only way he knows how to do this is to perhaps give you a keepsake. 

This may seem small perhaps to some of you, but to a Scorpio man, this is almost like a declaration of love and care. He might not even be conscious of it, but I can promise you this is exactly what he means. 

4. He Becomes More Vulnerable

Scorpio men contain enormous power and control in their lives. They care very deeply about how much control they get to exercise in their life. They want to be in charge and not have anyone else tell them what to do. 

A Scorpio man wants to appear like he has all his ducks in a row and that he rarely has any flaws. However, when a Scorpio man starts getting close to a woman he may start becoming more open to the idea of sharing some of his flaws and weaknesses. 

This takes a lot for him to do because Scorpio men can be very stubborn and it can be difficult for them to admit. You must mean a great deal to a Scorpio man if he can openly admit that he isn’t perfect at all.

3 More Signs A Scorpio Man Likes You, But Is Hiding It

5. He Acts Awkward And Nervous

Following from the previous point, Scorpio men love to be in control but sometimes when they are around the woman they adore they can become a little awkward and nervous. They may even act a little flustered. 

This is very interesting to see as you might notice him acting a little strangely around you. He is acting far from the cool and collected guy you first met. He’s probably just trying to make sense of what he is feeling himself. 

This just all means that he feels super vulnerable around you and that it feels like he is losing control when he is in your presence. This is all a compliment, but be aware, some Scorpio men may disappear after acting like this because they really dislike feeling so vulnerable. 

6. When A Scorpio Man Is Staring At You

One of the quickest ways to spot a Scorpio man is to notice how deeply and intense his gaze is. It is penetrating like he is seeing deeply into your soul. When a Scorpio man likes you he will hold your gaze for as long as possible. 

You may notice him staring and observing your every move. He is intrigued by you and innately knows doing this will make you melt and weaken at the knees. He knows what he is doing. 

This is one of the things he does that he might think is oh-so-subtle, but actually, when he stares at you it is quite obvious what he is doing. Watch his eyes, it will reveal a lot about how he truly feels about you.

7. He Acts Hot And Cold

A Scorpio man acting hot and cold is usually a red flag in my book, but I have noticed that this behavior happens when he gets a little overwhelmed by his feelings and doesn’t know how to make sense of them. 

If you have noticed your Scorpio man acting all into you one day, and then totally disinterested the next, then it is usually a sign that a Scorpio man is hiding his feelings from you. He is uncomfortable with how he feels. 

This can be really painful to have to go through, but if you can learn to be patient and just flow with his moods then he will see that you are a woman worth keeping around. He needs to know that you are consistent.

Why Is My Scorpio Man Hiding His Feelings? 4 Possible Reasons

1. He Feels Confused About His Feelings

Oftentimes, a Scorpio man will not speak up until he’s certain of what he feels. He doesn’t want to get hurt and he doesn’t want to hurt you either. He’d rather figure it out and make sure.

Scorpio men are already not very trusting of other human beings. He’s born suspicious and will remain this way throughout life. He knows that people have the capability of really hurting others.

It’s a defense mechanism for a Scorpio man to pull back and keep you at arm’s length until he feels as though things are headed in the direction he wants. Even then, he may still consider not fully letting you in.

If you’ve only been dating him a short while; cut him some slack. He’s not in a huge hurry to fall in love and get married. He’s not as slow as some of the other signs but he’s also not ready to make a mad dash to the chapel.

Slow down a bit and let your Scorpio guy figure things out for himself and figure out what it is that he feels for you. You’ll be a lot better off by having patience and understanding why Scorpio men are not forthcoming with their feelings.

2. He Is In One Of His Moods

Some women write to me that has been with a Scorpio man for years and seem to have emotional highs and lows. When he’s at his lows, he doesn’t want to talk about his feelings.

Short story, Scorpio men are not forthcoming with their feelings and are very moody guys. They have times when everything is going great, they’re open, honest, and feel good about where things are going between you.

Then they have times when they’re unsure, worried about where things are headed, and concerned that maybe it might not work the way they originally intended it to.

This back-and-forth can give some poor women whiplash. However, if you’ve been with him for a while, you learn to cope with his ups and downs and just treat it like you would depression or being with someone bipolar.

In fact; some Scorpio men may actually have one of these disorders. Patience is always the best tool you can use with them when they’re going through these ups and downs.

Here’s more on what you can do when a Scorpio man pulls away <<

Learn to appreciate the times when he’s on an upswing so that when things are not so great, you’ll have the good to hold onto. He’ll never stay in one mood or another. He’s ever-changing with the day and the tide.

3. He Is The Master Of Self Sabotage

I know this may sound silly, but, often when the Scorpio man finally finds his best match; he becomes very nervous. He starts to second guess himself, second guess you, and second, guess whether he should stay or go.

You see; he gets into that mentality of “this is too good to be true” and if he lets it take over, this will be when he pulls back and gets twitched out about what is happening between the two of you.

Ultimately though; it’s more likely that he’ll work through it and come back to you full throttle but don’t be surprised if things are going REALLY well and he’s being very open with you to suddenly just be ice cold.

He figures out when he’s hot and heavy that he really likes you and that because things are going so well, it can’t possibly be for real. It terrifies him and causes him to back off.

If your Scorpio man is still texting you or communicating with you in some way while he’s cooled off, this means he’s not done and you should just give him some time. If he doesn’t talk to you at all and disappears, he let his fears eat him up.

There are some Scorpio men that will meet the right woman for them and end up screwing themselves out of a life of happiness due to their mistrust and fear. They will talk themselves out of a good thing.

Sometimes he’ll also wait until years later to reach out to that woman again and see if she’s still single and if she’d give him another chance. Hindsight is always 20/20, ladies.

4. He Is Overthinking

The truth of the matter is, this guy is very analytical, so it’s part of the reason why Scorpio men are not forthcoming with their feelings. The Scorpio man is constantly thinking. He’s constantly trying to process what is right and what is wrong.

He will look at your relationship many times over and he’ll never fully feel 100% sure that things will work. He’s just naturally untrusting of people. He’s also not trusting of himself at times.

With his mind going back and forth constantly about everything within his realm, he’s going to suffer from torturing himself. Sadly this is what keeps him from speaking up and telling you what he feels when he really should.

There are other times when he gets the “foot in mouth” disease as well. He’ll let an “I love you” slip when it’s inappropriate and probably not true. He’ll beat himself up for it because he knows what that will cause.

If Your Scorpio Man Is Scared Of Falling In Love — Here’s What To Do

Trust is key when a Scorpio man is scared of falling in love. He is deathly afraid of having his feelings hurt. A Scorpio man definitely has more paranoia than most when it comes to his relationships, especially romantic ones. 

You are going to need a lot of patience to show him that you are someone he can trust because this is definitely not something that you can force to happen, it has to build over time. Keep being consistent and showing up for him, show him that you are reliable.

He is going to test you a lot and put you through hell, but he is doing so just to protect himself. But if you really believe in the beauty and love of your connection with him, then it’ll definitely be worth it. 

You don’t want to force or push him into being in a relationship with you if he isn’t ready for it. He needs to come around in his own time and realize what he has with you. You need to prove your loyalty and that you are someone he can depend on. 

All of this takes time and this is why Scorpio men are very slow to show their emotions and feelings. You better have a lot of patience if you want to keep up with him.
