Scorpios: Why do people like ranting to you?

I've noticed that my best friend, my friends, and other acquaintances, take comfort in sharing their problems with me. Though, I would never rant to any of them. Sometimes my best friend (fellow Scorpio), but I usually bundle everything inside. Yahoo! Answers is where I feel most comfortable venting.

I've only known these, two Aries' for approximately two months now. I met both through my boyfriend, as one is his best friend and the other is the significant other of one of his friends.

They both habitually request that they want me, specifically, to just listen to them talk. I didn't even have to offer any help of any kind, they just wanted to vent to me. In retrospect, that's more than enough help than they usually receive. I give what I can.

I thought it was interesting, because one of the Aries' is an Aries Sun / Libra Moon and commonly much older than me. Yet somehow, he can go hours and just share theories/problems/stories with me, and I'm able to hold the conversation without complaining or interrupting. He's noted on multiple occasions that I'm his "favorite" person to socialize with about any topic. The level of comfort is oddly contented.

The other Aries' is an Aries Sun / Pisces Moon and though it's not vital information to know, she's intravenously addicted to meth. For that reason, I think most people in this town look down upon her. For her being as extremely emotional as she actually is, it makes me sad. We're only faint acquaintances, but for some reason, when she gets tweaked out and comes to the apartments with her boyfriend, she'll always come find me. It never fails.

Both of the Aries apparently have actually settled that they couldn't determine what was so peculiar about me that I somehow serve best as their personal, confessional booth, but just that they both agreed that they prefer my company and advice over anyone elses'. I can happily say I'm not taking that out of context; this is precisely what the messenger told me.

The only thing that separates me from others is that I've recognized that people typically only ask how your weekend is, because they know they get to brag about theirs next. It kind of makes you want to not care about their problems, since they don't care about yours, but I guess the emotional part of me can't help but emphasize with others, when they're obviously disappointed in something and you just know they're suppressing it.

Maybe water signs have strong intuitions, since I've read copious amounts of times that Scorpios are most capable of psychologist professions. I feel it's kind of interesting, but mostly flattering.

What about you? Have people often told you something similar?
 
im a scorpio also. im with u on this 1. the majority of my friends come to me to talk about their troubles and they always expect that i give them a solution to their problems.
 
People do my that way....probably because we are good listeners...i've talked to other scorps about issue that i have, noticed they have great insight. Scorpios are great friends to have, if you learn that they need space and not take it personally. One day, they can give great advice and be there for you, then they go into a shell, and the next day u call, they wont even answer the phone...lol.
 
i've never been vented to, but i've always vented to others, especially my Scorpio friend, that i've known for 12 years.....one particular day, i decided to rave and complain on and on about my ex the whole day, yet she sat there and listened.....and didn't show her boredom, even though she was probably thinking "when will she shut the F*** up" inside her head. that's the good thing about Scorpios, you never know what they're thinking......they could be wanting to strangle you and you'd never know. i'm a Cancer, if you haven't guessed already.....i'm a bit of an expert at wasting everyone's time with my problems XD
 
I'm a Scorpio too. I've noticed that many people in my class come to me for help with their friends, schoolwork and many other things because I'm there. They always seek me out, always having a particular question in mind. I find it quite annoying sometimes, trying to have lunch while 5 different people are talking to you about different problems.
 
the only thing im gonna say is that i also have this thing where i can get people to talk. i just keep asking questions and for some reason people keep talking even when they normally wouldnt or when they dont even want to talk about a particular thing. scorpio are very good listeners and very loyal friends. :)
 
Yes, lots of my friends do tend to rant to me. (: I really like it. Now, I'm not the best advice giver. I mean I'll say what I can, but I usually don't know what to say. I like listening to other people just vent, and I get it a lot.

I like this question, I've never thought of it like that before.
