The Ever-changing Nature of Pisces: A Deep Dive into their Empathy and Self-protection

Pisces, often regarded as open-minded and adaptable, is far from being a fixed individual in terms of their values and perspectives. They have a remarkable ability to embrace diverse viewpoints, accommodating those who are vastly different from them. 

Moreover, Pisces individuals are profoundly influenced by their environment, displaying varied traits depending on the circumstances they find themselves in. In darker surroundings, they might develop a protective armor, while in brighter environments, they exude purity and kindness. 

Even in gray areas, Pisces can transform into enigmatic beings, concealing their true selves. But what is the authentic essence of Pisces, given their ever-changing nature? The answer lies in their inherent ability to remain in a state of constant flux. 

However, amidst their fluctuations, one consistent aspect of Pisces is their seemingly “temperature-less” demeanor, displaying strong empathy while maintaining emotional detachment. Let’s delve deeper into the enigmatic world of Pisces to unravel their unique filtering system and self-protection mechanisms.

Pisces, known for being deeply empathetic and compassionate, are not individuals with rigid values or fixed perspectives. Their open-mindedness allows them to embrace diverse viewpoints, accommodating people who are vastly different from themselves. 

Pisces individuals are profoundly influenced by their surroundings, morphing into different personas depending on the environment they find themselves in. In darker settings, they may develop a protective armor, while in brighter surroundings, they radiate purity and kindness. In gray areas, Pisces can transform into enigmatic beings, concealing their true selves.

So, what defines the authentic essence of Pisces, given their ever-changing nature? The answer lies in their inherent ability to remain in a state of constant flux. However, amidst their fluctuations, one consistent aspect of Pisces is their seemingly “temperature-less” demeanor, displaying strong empathy while maintaining emotional detachment. 

Although described as compassionate and caring, Pisces’ empathy doesn’t always translate into deep emotional involvement or sympathy for others. Their empathetic nature allows them to quickly discern the state of affairs, helping them understand the essence of a situation. Nevertheless, it doesn’t create turbulent waves of emotion within Pisces themselves.

For example, when they come across distressing news online, Pisces may verbally express concern, but they may not be deeply affected by it. Contrasting their empathetic abilities towards humans, Pisces often display more love and compassion towards animals. They are particularly empathetic towards very young children and the elderly. 

This unique quality is difficult to describe adequately. You could say that Pisces’ emotions are like a shell that is warmed on the outside but has difficulty transferring heat to the core.

As I was conversing with a Pisces friend of mine, with whom I have been friends for eight years, we reached a consensus on a certain aspect of Pisces behavior. While Pisces may appear to make accepting gestures towards others, they may not genuinely accept them.

In comparison, Aquarius individuals may not readily accept others, but once they do, it signifies true acceptance. This isn’t about whether Pisces are slow to warm up; it’s about the presence of a unique trigger that deeply resonates with Pisces, leaving a lasting impact and unforgettable memories. For instance, when Pisces is surrounded by mostly serious and obedient individuals, encountering someone rebellious and unconventional is bound to leave a strong impression.

This trigger is more akin to a sense of surprise, surpassing Pisces’ initial expectations, and providing them with ample imaginative space. It is this imaginative space that leads Pisces to view others through a strong filtering system, immersing themselves in the experience. This filtering process is further amplified because of the presence of imagination, a trait shared by both Pisces and Aquarius, wherein they both love fantasy and ethereal experiences.

However, there is a distinction. Aquarius individuals possess more warmth in their hearts compared to Pisces, though they have limited capacity to share this warmth with others. On the other hand, Pisces may have a considerable reservoir of warmth within, but they are selective about sharing it with others. 

Moreover, Pisces’ warmth can be withdrawn at any moment, often accompanied by the shattering of their filtering system. Sometimes, a simple statement is enough for Pisces to immediately detach themselves from an erroneous emotion, an instinctive self-protection mechanism.

During such instances, Pisces prioritize their intuition and feelings, but they never become the aggressors. While they might not reveal an overwhelming surge of emotions right from the start, their sincerity remains intact. Instead, Pisces assess whether the other person is worth their continued emotional investment. 

Returning to the point we began with, Pisces adapts based on the stimuli they encounter. For instance, when surrounded by gentle, kindhearted individuals, Pisces mirrors the same traits. However, when dealing with unscrupulous intentions, they neither expose themselves nor allow others to take advantage of them.

While describing Pisces as affectionate might be an oversimplification, empathy, kindness, and compassion are fundamental principles for gaining their favor.
