   I do not pay attention to stuff that will upset, bother or stress me out. I put my attention on the task at hand and the positive. I fail sometimes but generaly, that is how I operate. My Saturn is in Capricorn and I am a Leo. That whole “Tomorrow is another day” quote sums me up. The pic and caption for this post just cracks me up, I just broke up with a boyfriend and that pretty much sums it up perfectly. Perfectly. Thank you.

   I’m the total opposite Elsa. When I go to the gym (or anywhere for that matter), and people look and talk, I always assume it’s bad. I have a weird sense of self-esteem. I think good of myself…but I assume everyone else picks out all my flaws (physical and personality-wise). Is there a name for that? Paranoia, maybe? I do have Scorpio ASC.
   I make all kinds of things up in my mind. To my own detriment probably.

   I operate the way that shell mentioned - I feel like I have a healthy self-esteem, but I often assume that people are a) criticizing me or b) trying to get over on me. If I went to the gym and heard people were talking about me, I’d assume they were making fun of me for not knowing how to turn the treadmill on.
   I have an overactive imagination, and I’m trying to steer it in a positive direction.

   If I can’t imagine people doing/thinking/saying something positive I try not to think about it.

   I do however conciously make things up. As a kid I used to just lie in bed just making up huge elaborate stories/realities and I’ll still slip into it the odd saturday morning/wednesday night.

   And I will often imagine out conversations/scenarios in advance both in the positive and negatives. Even wildly unrealistic scenario’s.

   I have neptune-scorpio trine saturn-pisces and I do this all the time. I concentrate on the most pleasing aspects of a dreary situation/scenario,to the extreme that I can runa a sort of glamorous neptunian movie in my head to counterpart a boring job or a dull phase. The problem is when I overdo it ´cause neptunein 12th can be really delusional…but saturn always brings me back, i guess.

   I imagine perceived slights. If I make a mistake I feel guilty about it for days (just an example: I pinched the cheek of my co-worker a few days ago–I was genuinely happy to see her. She was really frazzled and annoyed I did that. I apologized and she forgave me but I still feel like an idiot. I’ve created a dream that now she hates me. I don’t know where this shit comes from–Saturn trines Neptune but also squares my Sun).

   Scorpio in the 12th and Neptune conjunct my Scorpio ascendant. I desperately try to imagine good things and daydreams because it helps me cope with my psychological struggles and intense emotions.

   uhm, i try to rattle my head by adjusting my perspective, if that’s what you mean.

   finding the silver lining helps keep me from panicking, too.
