Jealousy
Jealousy is something that Scorpios struggle with. This can show up in a couple different ways. It could be that you feel jealous in a romantic relationship. In that situation, you can evaluate your relationship and decide if there’s a valid reason to feel that way. If you know that your relationship is strong then reassure yourself there’s no need for jealousy. You may also feel jealous of things that others have in their lives. Working at being happy for them is the key to overcoming this sort of jealousy.
Scorpios are known for their passionate and intense personalities. They are also known for their loyalty and commitment, which can sometimes be mistaken for jealousy. In relationships, Scorpios can become possessive and jealous when they feel their partner is not being loyal. This can lead to arguments and mistrust.
In order to overcome jealousy, it is important to be honest and open with your partner about how you are feeling. Communication is key in any relationship, and it is important to be able to talk about your feelings in order to build trust. Being honest and open with your partner can help to ease any feelings of jealousy.
It is also important to focus on yourself and your own goals and achievements. Comparing yourself to others can lead to feelings of jealousy and resentment. Instead, practice self-care and focus on your own successes. This can help to reduce feelings of jealousy and envy.
Finally, it is important to practice gratitude. Taking time to be thankful for what you have can help to reduce feelings of jealousy. It is important to appreciate the good things in your life and to be grateful for them.

Being Suspicious of Others
Scorpios aren’t naturally trusting creatures. That’s not a completely bad thing. Being too trusting can also earn you a lot of heartache. The important thing here is to be careful to not become too skeptical. You do need to trust others but do so cautiously.
Scorpios may find themselves often doubting others' intentions, which can lead to a guarded life, possibly filled with isolation. To overcome excessive suspicion, practice openness by sharing small pieces of trust. Start with low-risk situations to build confidence in others. Remember, trust is a two-way street that flourishes with communication and mutual understanding. It's vital to strike a balance, where you're neither naive nor dismissive. Listen to your intuition, but allow room for people to prove their trustworthiness over time. This approach can lead to more meaningful and honest relationships, enriching your social circle.

Holding a Grudge
Holding a grudge doesn’t hurt the other person as much as you wish it would. It hurts you. Scorpios can be very determined to hold grudges but it’s worth it to reevaluate the decision to do so. Learn your lessons from bad experiences but don’t let them scar you. Forgiveness is the path to living your best life.

Being a Bit Pushy
As a Scorpio you know what you want and that’s a good thing. Where it runs into trouble is if you become a bit pushy in getting your way. You want to work on being assertive versus aggressive. Being assertive says that you know what you want and you aren’t going to back down. Being aggressive says that you’re determined to have your way regardless of the feelings of others.

Being Stubborn
You know, I’ve always believed that being stubborn isn’t a totally bad thing. What’s bad is if you’re stubborn for the wrong reasons. The key here is to think over your decisions and determine if you’re digging your heels in because you want your way or because you truly have a deep belief you’re making the right decision. Staying in tune with your heart is important here. It can give you the best guidance.

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.
Tending toward Revenge
Revenge is a temptation to all of us at times but Scorpios struggle with it a little more. If you know this’s a trait that’s a challenge for you then remember this. Karma will win in the end. It always does. Trust in the fact that the universe knows what it’s doing and can handle the bad things that’ve happened to you.

Keeping Too Many Secrets
Everyone is entitled to their privacy. But if you’re too secretive then you can end up pushing others away. Consider letting those that’re closest to you in on the things you’re keeping quiet. This can help strengthen your relationships. This may take some time for you to work on but that’s okay.
These’re 7 challenging traits that Scorpios may struggle with. Which of these are true for you? I’d love to read your comments!
