That Damn Contradicting Pisces!
Posted by The Pisces Girl on Saturday Oct 16, 2010 in Humor, To Be A PiscesAlong with Geminis and Sagittarius, the Pisces is represented by symbols of duality (two fish swimming in opposite directions)…and if you’ve ever spent any extended amount of time with a Pisces, I’m sure you’ve discovered they really live up to it.
Truth be told, a Pisces woman can be one hot mess of contradictions. But don’t be too hard on the fishies, their dual nature is written in the stars and they cannot help but see the world from two opposing perspectives.
Most times, a pisces just wants to feel normal but within themselves, they are constantly switching between ying and yang, sugar and spice, naughty and nice…which makes them feel anything but normal. If you think this is frustrating to stand witness too, just imagine how the pisces feels!
With that in mind, I thought I’d discuss some typical pisces contradictions. Our mind is a battlefield. You’re welcome to watch the tug and pull, if you think you can handle it… 
- They don’t care much for handling money, BUT they do enjoy the finer things in life that money can buy.
- In new situations they can come off as shy and stand-offish, BUT once engaged in conversation, they are friendly, charming and welcoming to people from all walks of life.
- When it comes to doing things that don’t inspire them, they can be extremely lazy and easily led off task, BUT if they set their sights on a project that excites them, they tackle it with much determination, hardwork and gusto.
- They are extremely soft, sensitive and can get their feelings easily hurt, BUT when angry, they turn downright vicious.
- They are not afraid to dream big, BUT they often lack the confidence to follow through and need help turning dreams into reality.
- They are good listeners and supportive friends, BUT when they retreat to la-la land, they are very good at tuning everything else out.
- They don’t really like being told what to do, BUT they often find themselves relying on steadier personalities to guide them and keep them on track.
- They don’t like know-it-alls, BUT they have know-it-all tendencies.
- They have a unique zest for life. They are the type to stop and smell the roses, appreciating all the little things along the way BUT they can be gloomy, moody and depressed.
- They know a little bit about a lot, BUT may not be expert at any one single thing.
- They can be super silly and dreamy, BUT when the mood strikes, they can become very serious and intense.
- They are highly intuitive-able to pick up other peoples’ feelings and moods, BUT their trusting and spaced-out nature also makes them gullible.
- In times of need, they will put everything aside to be there for a friend BUT unless you specifically put out a call for help, they are not always easy to get in touch with (they do not like to be “tied down” to their emails, phone calls or texts.)
- They are understanding, compassionate and love hearing you open up to them about your feelings, BUT it takes time for them to do the same.
- When in love, they wear their hearts on their sleeves, showering the object of their affection with boundless TLC. BUT when they feel their affections have been rejected, they will shut you out and turn as cold as ice.
- They are giving of themselves, BUT they can also be very self-absorbed.
- They appreciate recognition, approval and praise for their talents, BUT getting too much attention makes them uncomfortable.
- They state their beliefs and opinions with feisty conviction (for that moment they will really have their whole heart into it) BUT their open-minded nature may compel them to change their minds.
- They may present themselves to the outside world with an air of confidence BUT just beneath the surface, they are slightly unsure of themselves and are constantly searching for ‘enlightenment’.
- Some people may think that they are weak-willed and easy to manipulate (for a a while, they may be.) BUT despite all their insecurities, once they figure out what’s going on, they are clever and will find a way to summon inner strength.
Ironically, when it comes to a Pisces, their contradicting spirit is sure to rub off on you. Sometimes you’ll love them and sometimes you’ll hate them. Happy Fishing Anyway.

Veronica,
I’ve loved reading your posts about the Pisces woman. They’re very helpful.
I’ve been talking to a Pisces woman myself, and I really like her (I’m a Virgo). She’s smart, she’s honest and she’s got a great sense of humor. And you can tell she’s a good person through and through. We love talking to each other. There’s a real sense of having found someone to talk to – on both sides. She makes me laugh, she cracks up at the jokes I make
We also talk about serious things and we’re both comfortable sharing that side of life too. I can also feel a bit of her motherly side starting to crop up when we talk about everyday stress and things like that.
Last night, I told her I wouldn’t be available for a few days. She didn’t say anything for a while, and then said she’s really miss me. This is what she said – “I know I shouldn’t be talking like this, but what should I do….I’ll definitely miss you”.
The trouble is, we live very far apart. We talk online over webcam and voice chats. So even though I honestly like her, I don’t want to draw her too close to me before we meet. Video chats are fine, but meeting in person may be different. I don’t want to promise her the world now and not following it up later. I can’t bear to hurt her. So I said that to her, not directly of course, but she’s perceptive enough to understand.
What confuses me is what she said after that. She said, “Oh no, I think you’ve misunderstood me.” How? What did she mean by that? And the very next minute she says “I hope to see you soon. I really like talking to you”. And then she signed out.
For the life of me I can’t figure out what happened there. What did she mean by “you’ve misunderstood me”? I can feel it that she likes me, so why say something like that?
Could you please share some light? I think she’s a very special woman. I don’t want to lose her.
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks so much for checking out the site, I’m happy to hear you find it helpful!
To address your particular situation-I think this was a case of her making herself vulnerable and then quickly retracting when it appeared that walls were being thrown up. Of course, I wasn’t there, but based on what you’ve told me, here’s my take: She’s tells you that she’ll miss you, and then you, in your own roundabout way, respond with something like “uhhhhh, I don’t want to promise you something I can’t deliver.” She might be thinking something like “okkkkkaaay, that was quite a leap, and where did that come from anyway?”
She wasn’t telling you that she wanted to marry you or that she expected anything from you, she was only saying that for the next few days, she’d miss you…do you see how from this train of thought, why she might have said what she said? Oh, also, if she senses at all that you might be trying to keep her at a distance, she will most likely want to respond with the same. She might have cut out early because she felt a little silly and didn’t want to seem like she was coming on too strong.
If you don’t want to lose her, just keep coming around and letting her know that you are interested. It’s smart to not make promises you aren’t sure you can keep, but also, you might not need to make a big announcement of it.
I sincerely hope this helps and wish you best of luck with your pisces friend.

Thank you Veronica.
I do see it clearly now. In fact I did regret telling her that I didn’t want to get too involved at the moment. I do, but I’m just too cautious about what the future may hold. I guess that’s just my overly cautious Virgo side stepping in. One part of me does want to go ahead and tell her the way it is and not worry about how it’ll pan out in the future.
Anyway, we did speak again last night and everything seemed great. If anything, it’s she who now knows what I feel about her. Not the other way round. Smart woman she is for sure
Thank you again!

Andrew,
Glad to hear your next conversation went on without a hitch. I understand your virgo tendency for caution-you just want to walk the line between being cautious and appearing too emotionally distant. It seems that you’ve got a pretty handle on things though…
Best wishes.
