2 Zodiac Signs That Always Assume The Worst In Others

Just like night follows day and winter follows summer and predators follow prey and death follows life, some people see the best in others, while others see the worst.

Sitting as we do on this tiny speck of a planet in a small solar system in a pint-sized galaxy in a universe that is so vast as to defy our comprehension, the cosmos is an intensely mysterious entity that only begins to make sense to us when we see how it manifests in balances between extremes.

This is why at any given moment, humans are scattered across a wide spectrum between optimists and pessimists, humanitarians and misanthropes, lovers and haters.

Here are the two zodiac signs that stand far ahead of the pack when it comes to suspicion, mistrust, and sometimes outright paranoia.

1. Scorpio

No one will sting you like the Scorpion. Of all the signs, they are the most likely to believe every conspiracy theory that they hear. Cast by astrologers in the dual role of being ruled both by Mars (in ancient astrology and some modern systems) and Pluto (which wasn’t discovered as a planet until the 1930s and then demoted to lowly dwarf-planet status in 2006), Scorpio is obsessed with conflict (Mars) and cold, deathly darkness (Pluto). Scorpio, as well as Pluto, is ruled by the eighth house, which covers sex, taboos, and death. Drowning in rage and conflict, Scorpios are keenly intuitive when it comes to sniffing out the bad in others. They trust no one but themselves and are extremely leery of others’ motivations, especially when anyone loudly proclaims how honest and good and righteous they are. If you want a Scorpio to trust you, you’re going to have to prove to them that you’re trustworthy—and even then, they’ll still be a little wary of you. 

2. Virgo

When viewed under the harsh focus of a microscope, even the world’s most beautiful person can look ugly. Only when viewed close-up can you see someone’s craterous skin pores, the stubbornly hideous hairs, and even the repulsive mites and bacteria that teem on everyone’s face. But this is how Virgo views everyone—in extreme, brightly lit close-up, so the flaws are nearly all that they see. Virgos are the zodiac’s ultimate perfectionists, and no one else can live up to their standards. They are hard workers who assume everyone else will be lazy. They are hyper-considerate, so they assume everyone else will be rude. They are extremely hygienic, so they assume everyone else is filthy and germ-laden. They tend to be super-organized, so they assume everyone else will be sloppy and aimless. They tend to be intelligent, so they assume everyone else is as dumb as a box of rocks. They have a very dim view of humanity, but the problem with this is that they fail to see that they, too, are human.
