Are Scorpio Men Shy?

Scorpios are known for being mysterious and secretive. Scorpio men like to purposefully maintain that air of mystery. They don’t like everyone to know their true selves until they know they can be trusted.

If a Scorpio man seems shy around you, it might actually be because he doesn’t trust you. He might be putting up his walls because he doesn’t know if he can be himself around you.

Most of the time, a “shy” Scorpio will stop seeming shy once he starts to trust you. You’ll see how confident and social he actually is.

Mysterious

Scorpio men are mysterious in many ways. Some just naturally have a mysterious aura about them. Some purposefully do things to seem more mysterious.

Just because a Scorpio man isn’t forthcoming with information about himself, that doesn’t mean he’s shy.

If he seems reluctant to talk about himself, it’s because he isn’t ready to let go of that air of mystery.

If you see him standing in a corner all by himself, he’s not avoiding the crowd. He’s trying to seem more interesting to everyone around him.

Even Scorpio men who aren’t being mysterious on purpose are going to seem that way. Don’t be afraid to approach him, even if he seems intimidating or aloof. Chances are, he’ll gladly talk to you.

Secretive

A Scorpio man’s secrets are some of the best kept secrets in the world. If he doesn’t want you to know something, you’re never going to find it out.

Scorpio men are reluctant to open up to people, especially if they don’t know them that well. Don’t expect him to spill his whole life story after a few meetings.

Even if you share your secrets with him, he won’t necessarily share any back.

Some people are more forthcoming with information about themselves than others. If you’re an open book, somebody who is closed-off might seem shy to you.

This isn’t the case. Even the most social and extroverted of Scorpio men are still secretive.

One of the signs that a Scorpio man has feelings for you is that he’ll start to reveal more of his secrets to you. When a Scorpio man tells you his secrets, take that as the gift it is.

Distrustful

The key to understanding a Scorpio man is knowing that he doesn’t trust easily. He is often actively distrustful of people he doesn’t know well.

If he seems wary of you, it’s not because he’s shy. It’s because he’s not sure if you’re trustworthy.

A Scorpio man doesn’t want to waste his time getting to know people he can’t trust. If he’s unsure about you, he might seem extremely closed-off and quiet at first.

If you want to get to know him, do things to show him that he can trust you. Once he warms up to you, he’ll be more social.

If a Scorpio man stops communicating with you suddenly, it’s not because he’s shy. You might have done something that made him believe he can’t trust you. A Scorpio man doesn’t have time for people he can’t trust.

Sensitive

Scorpios are extremely sensitive. They feel emotions deeply and they are also good at picking up on the emotions of those around them.

If he seems uncharacteristically quiet, it might be because he’s feeling down and he’s trying to hide it.

He might also sense that you’re feeling upset or angry. He may not want to bother you if that’s the case, especially if he doesn’t know you. He’s not being shy, he’s just trying to give you space.

Are Scorpios shy around their crush? They usually aren’t. If a Scorpio man is trying to hide his feelings, he might act “off” around his crush but he won’t be shy. He will still talk to his crush, the same as he would anyone else.

He tries to hide crushes sometimes because of his sensitivity. He doesn’t take rejection well. He likes to make sure somebody can be trusted with his heart before he goes after them.

Guarded

If a Scorpio man is shy around you, it might actually be because he’s being guarded for some reason.

Think about your interactions with him. Have you given him any reason to not trust you? Have you done anything to make him put his walls up?

Some Scorpios have been hurt in the past and are wary of opening up to new people. If he thinks you’re being disingenuine or that you have an ulterior motive for trying to befriend him, he’ll put up his walls.

The truth about a Scorpio man is that he’s afraid of getting hurt. He’s not shy, he’s just careful. He guards his secrets, his true self, and his heart so that he can keep himself safe.

One way a Scorpio man expresses his love is to let you through his “walls”. If a Scorpio man stops acting guarded around you, it may be because he’s starting to trust you or developing feelings for you.

Outgoing

Many Scorpio men are outgoing and extroverted. It can sometimes be hard to tell the outgoing Scorpios from the homebody ones at first, though.

This is because they aren’t always outgoing in a loud way. A Scorpio might have a large social circle and attend parties and events all the time. When you first meet him, he isn’t always going to be chatty and wild, though.

This doesn’t make him any less outgoing. He’ll gladly meet new people and experience new things.

If you invite him to a party, he’ll go even if he doesn’t know anybody else there. He often feels comfortable in crowds, even if he isn’t always socializing with them.

As you get to know him, you’ll see how outgoing he really is.

Adventurous

Adventure is often associated with fire signs but it is also one of a Scorpio man’s traits.

Scorpio men love experiencing new things and going to new places. They are adventurous in many aspects of their lives.

If you invite a Scorpio man on a trip, he’ll likely say yes. If you have an extra ticket to a concert or want somebody to come with you to a new nightclub, Scorpio men are usually good people to bring with you.

Scorpio men want to experience all the things life has to offer. They want to uncover the world’s mysteries. This makes them extremely adventurous.

He isn’t going to shy away from experiences others might say no to, either. This includes sexual experiences.

Confident

Scorpio men are often genuinely confident in at least one area of their lives. If they aren’t confident about something, they’re really good at faking it too.

A Scorpio man isn’t afraid to approach somebody new. If he sees somebody he finds attractive across the bar, he’ll go over and talk to them.

He has confidence in his own charisma. Even if you don’t always see him chatting everyone up, he can when he wants to.

Even if a Scorpio is lacking in confidence, you aren’t going to be able to tell unless you’re extremely close with him.

If a Scorpio man is shy, you might not actually be able to tell. He’ll act the same as any other Scorpio man.

Assertive

Scorpio men want what they want and they know how to get it.

He’ll openly flirt with anyone that he likes and he won’t feel embarrassed about it one bit. He’ll back off if you tell him too but if you don’t, he’ll gladly pursue you.

Some Scorpio men seem to have a highly intimidating and forceful personality. This is just how he is. It doesn’t mean that he actually is intimidating, though.

This assertive nature is another way that a shy Scorpio will hide his shyness. He knows that people find him intimidating. He knows that people think he’s confident and bold. He’ll use that to his advantage.

Upfront

If a Scorpio man seems like he doesn’t want to talk to you, it’s likely not because he’s shy. He probably legitimately does not want to talk to you.

Scorpio men are pretty upfront when it comes to how they feel about people.

If he has a reason to pretend to like you (such as if you are his boss or a beloved family member of his partner), you won’t be able to tell that he actually dislikes you.

He doesn’t pretend to like people just because, though. If he snubs you when you approach him, he’s not shy. For whatever reason, he doesn’t like you and he doesn’t want to talk to you.

On the other hand, Scorpio men are also upfront when they do like you. If he is interested in you romantically or sexually, he’ll openly flirt. If he wants to be your friend, he’ll gladly approach you and strike up a conversation.
