Understanding a Distant Scorpio Man (Why? How To Fix?)

Some Scorpio men are naturally introverted. If this is the case, he’ll need time to himself regularly to recharge. Even an extroverted Scorpio will want time to himself as well.

If he thinks you’re being pushy, he’ll distance himself as well. Scorpio men need time to learn how to trust people. He won’t open up until he’s ready.

Some Scorpio men also distance themselves as a form of manipulation. They are experts at the silent treatment. If you did something to upset him, he’ll completely ghost you until you apologize.

He’s An Introvert

Many Scorpio men are introverts. Even more extroverted and social Scorpios will still need alone time to relax and rewind.

If he’s an introvert, that means he needs alone time to recharge. Being around people might drain his energy.

When an introverted Scorpio man has been spending a lot of time with other people, he might suddenly become distant. He’s exhausted from over-socializing and he needs a break.

Some Scorpio men may even need a break from their partners or people they live with. Nobody is exempt from their need to stop interacting with other people.

If he’s taking time to recharge, it’s nothing to worry about. Once he feels up to socializing again, he’ll reach out and start acting like his usual self.

He’s Angry or Upset

Sometimes when a Scorpio man stops texting in the middle of a conversation, it’s because something has happened to upset him.

You may have said something that upset him but something else might also be the problem.

Scorpio men won’t always tell you when something has made them angry. They are the type to silently sulk about it instead.

You’ll obviously know it’s you he’s upset with if you two argued or you said something hurtful.

Other times, you will have no idea why he’s upset. He could be mad at a friend. Something might have happened at work. It could be something else entirely.

Whatever the reason, he might just need to deal with his emotions by himself. He’ll come to you if he wants support or once he’s calmed down.

You Pushed Too Hard

If a Scorpio man stops communicating with you after an intense emotional discussion, it might be because he wasn’t ready to have that discussion yet.

Scorpio men hate it when they feel like someone else is pressuring them to do something they’re not ready to do.

If you are pushing a Scorpio man to open up and he doesn’t want to, he’s going to do the opposite. He will distance himself from you and put up even more walls.

Even if you do get him to open up, it’s not going to last if he didn’t want to. He’ll just feel like you don’t respect his boundaries. He’ll start avoiding you so that you can’t push him to reveal anything else he’s not ready to.

The simple secrets you can use to seduce and keep your Scorpio man (they work like magic)

He’s Not Ready

When a Scorpio man becomes distant after intimacy, that is a signal that he’s not ready to be that intimate with you.

If you two had sex and it felt a little too intimate, he’ll pull back if that’s not what he wants out of the relationship.

If you tell him you love him or indicate that you want more from your relationship and he distances himself, that’s a sign he’s not ready for that kind of commitment.

If he withdraws after being vulnerable with you, he isn’t ready to open up to you. He may be distancing himself so he doesn’t show any more of himself to you.

He’s Stepping Back

A Scorpio man might need to take a step back from your relationship for a variety of reasons. If this happens, he’ll start to withdraw from you.

When a Scorpio man is done with you, he’s going to emotionally distance himself quickly.

You might notice that he pulls away more and more before a breakup. He’ll do this if he thinks you’re going to end the relationship soon. He’ll also do it if he’s considering breaking up with you.

A Scorpio man may also do this in a friendship or with somebody he’s casually dating. If he needs to take a step back, for whatever reason, he doesn’t want to remain emotionally close to that person.

He won’t always tell you right away if he needs a break or if he needs to put the brakes on your relationship. You’ll be able to tell something is up because he will close himself off.

This one weird trick is the only way to attract a Scorpio man.

Doesn’t Want To Be Vulnerable

Why are Scorpio men distant? Some of them are because they hate being vulnerable.

Scorpio men fiercely guard their hearts. They are afraid of getting hurt. They don’t want to open up to the wrong person.

If you expect vulnerability from him before he’s ready, he’ll pull back from you.

Even if he wants to be vulnerable with you, a Scorpio man will sometimes pull back anyway. Why does he do this? He wants to be 100% sure it’s a good idea to open up to you before he does so.

Sometimes, he’ll take some time to think and realize that he does want to open up to you more. When this happens, he’ll come back and gladly start to be more emotionally intimate and vulnerable with you.

Other times, he’ll remain distant. If he decides for whatever reason that he just doesn’t want to be vulnerable with you, you won’t be able to change his mind.

He’s Naturally Detached

A quiet Scorpio man isn’t always a signal that anything is wrong. Some Scorpio men are just emotionally detached.

Scorpio men are often deeply in touch with their own emotions. This doesn’t mean they want to share them with everyone else.

He may not even think he’s being any more distant than he usually is. Scorpio men are used to guarding their emotions.

Even as he starts to trust somebody, it can be hard to get out of the habit of detaching from the people around him.

You might notice that he always distances himself right after getting vulnerable with you. This is sometimes just a habit of his that he needs to work through.

He Needs Space

If a Scorpio man has gone quiet, it might just be because he needs space. Most Scorpio men will need time to just be by themselves and be alone with their thoughts.

He will need space from everyone, even those who are closest to him. This is just how he is. He isn’t meaning to hurt you or upset you when he wants some time away from you.

The best way to deal with this is to just give him the space he needs whenever he needs it. That will make him feel like you respect and care about him more.

As you get closer, you might notice that he needs less and less time away from you. You might even stop counting as the “people” he needs space from when he says he needs to be away from people for a while.

He’s Not Interested

Sometimes, becoming distant is a sign a Scorpio man is not interested in you. If you express interest in him and he suddenly withdraws from you, that means he doesn’t reciprocate your feelings.

A Scorpio man’s communication style isn’t always straightforward. Some prefer to communicate disinterest with their actions, rather than their words.

If you ask your Scorpio friend out and he suddenly stops hanging out with you, that’s a sign he doesn’t want to date you. He might not always actually turn you down. He’ll just avoid you until you get the hint.

A Scorpio man will do more than just distance himself if he’s actively trying to drive you away. He might start behaving rudely toward you.

He’ll walk away when you’re talking to him or look at his phone instead of listening. He’ll roll his eyes or mock things that you say.

He’s Being Manipulative

A Scorpio man’s silent treatment is sometimes used to manipulate the person he’s giving the silent treatment.

If you two argue and he suddenly ghosts you, he’s doing it on purpose. He wants you to feel bad. He might be waiting for an apology. He’s not going to tell you that’s what he wants either.

He might give you the silent treatment over a minor slight or an accidentally insensitive comment. You might have to rack your brain to figure out what you did wrong because he won’t tell you!

He may distance himself as a form of retaliation if you’ve done something to hurt him. If he knows it bothers you when he leaves your messages on read, he’ll read every message you send and not reply.

Even if he’s physically around, he’ll distance himself by refusing to listen to you. He may act distracted or outright ignore you while you talk to him.
