How are we Scorpios scaring so many people?

There have been a lot of post about how much Scorpios are terrible and scary people. I'd like to say..thanks. We are scary, because we tell it like it is, I don't sugar coat for anyone. But because of that, I'm dependable and reliable. My family calls me when ever they need help and I'm loyal to those I love but ruthless to those I hate. People have told me that I'm intense, that when I look at them it's as if I'm looking into their soul. Yeah, we scorpios don't take crap served on a silver platter, we're suspicious of everything and can manipulate the truth out of anyone. (That's why we're good at being detectives) So, if you have a problem with a scorpio in your life, beware. In the end, you may get stung. Your thought?
