We all have our sensitive spots – that one thing we know about ourselves that confuses us with our insecurities.
Whether it’s rejection or betrayal, certain things trigger our worst feelings about ourselves. What makes you or someone close to them doubt? Here’s what makes you confused by your insecurities, based on your zodiac sign (you may also want to check your moon and rising signs in your birth chart).
Aries: Loss
Aries people are very competitive, so they are not only afraid of losing, but they also need to be the best at what they do. Taking second place may mean finishing last for them. Their biggest competition is themselves because they are always pushing to be number one. Any defeat, especially in public, humiliates them and causes them great insecurity.
Taurus: Called Boredom
Taurus people are stable and reliable, which are some of their greatest qualities in relationships. Their loved ones know they can always count on them, and they are always flexible and predictable. But sometimes this makes Taurus people feel boring, and if someone calls them uninteresting, they feel vulnerable and inadequate.
Gemini: Making Bad Choices
Geminis strive to make decisions. They have so many different aspects of their personalities and things they want to try, that sometimes they are paralyzed by indecision. Their fear is making the wrong choice and being judged for it, and wasting their precious time pursuing the wrong path.
Cancer: Abandonment
Of course, rejection and rejection hurt anyone. But some people let it slide off their backs, seeing that it shows the character of the person who left them the most. Cancers can’t do that – they internalize any rejection, thinking it’s their fault and they could have done something different or better to make the other person stay. It takes a long time for them to be haunted, if they ever fully recover.
Leo: Ignorance
Leos thrive on attention, and love to be in the limelight. So when others ignore them, they feel inadequate and rejected. Blending in with the crowd or being ignored exacerbates their deep insecurities.
Virgo: Losing Control
Virgos need control – they don’t like any loss of power over themselves, like drunkenness. They are very particular and enjoy controlling their image and surroundings. They don’t have to be bosses, but they need flexibility to be allowed to do things their way. Any loss of control, whether it comes from things or being disempowered at work, destroys them and brings their insecurities to the fore.
Libra: Feeling Ugly
We’ve all been there – we have days when we feel uncomfortable in our skin, even if we’re generally confident in our appearance. Libra is very sensitive to “bad” days. Whether they are dealing with breakouts or a bad haircut, it causes their insecurity and makes this social butterfly want to hide until she feels good again.
Scorpio: Betrayal
Scorpios are very guarded, and they don’t trust most people. It’s a big deal when they confide in you or give you their heart. But when someone they trust betrays them, like spilling their secrets or being unfaithful, it destroys them. Not only do they feel hurt and frustrated, but they also begin to question their judgment and whether they should have trusted that person in the first place. Their extreme insecurities rear their head when they are betrayed, and it takes them a long time to trust themselves and others again.
Sagittarius: Feeling Stuck
Sagittarians are energetic and thrive on change. If they are not moving forward or improving in some way, at least in one area of life, they feel stagnant and insecure. It is important for them to keep moving – even if their impulses take them to the worst places. Staying still makes them insecure because they don’t want to appear careless or lonely.
Capricorn: Financial Failure
Capricorns do not take well to failure of any kind. They enjoy being seen as strong and united, and they think that any social failure threatens this image. Obstacles at work or finances make them feel especially vulnerable, because success in work and money gives them a sense of security.
Aquarius: Intimacy Issues
Aquarians are very nice people and do well in social groups, but they often have trouble with one-on-one communication, especially close relationships. They keep many people close because they value their independence and freedom. However, they are not private about their intimacy struggles, even though they won’t admit it. It makes them deeply insecure when someone calls them out on their intimacy issues, and they may become even more distant.
Pisces: Feeling Like a Wet Blanket
Pisces people feel everything so deeply, that they are sometimes prone to depression. They hate the effect this can have on their loved ones. When it is difficult for them to see the light, they may drag others into their darkness. And since they are very empathetic, they can feel how they bring others down. But at the same time, they can’t get out of it, which makes them feel very depressed, and creates a vicious cycle of self-harm. If they allow their friends to help them without feeling guilty, it can go a long way in easing their insecurities.
