3 Zodiac Signs Who Seriously Need Better Coping Mechanisms 

Scorpio

Scorpio, your penchant for self-reflection and intense personality mean that you sometimes fixate on your most negative thoughts. You’re not afraid to be honest or critical, and this often applies to yourself, too. This means that your coping mechanisms tend to focus less on dealing with stressors and more on beating yourself up for how you handle them. Even if you have everything together on the surface (it’s usually easy for a Scorpio to present themselves flawlessly, after all), you may not be actually coping with the challenges you face. Scorpio, you may benefit from seeking outside support and focusing on relaxation skills to help you de-compartmentalize a little.

Cancer

You may struggle with expressing your feelings healthily, Cancer. You might find yourself prone to emotional outbursts or bottling things up instead of talking about them – you may also have a difficult time admitting the fact that you’re stressed out to yourself, too. Since you’re so focused on helping others, you rarely ask for help yourself – which also means that your coping skills are severely lacking. You should focus on the community that you’ve built for yourself, Cancer – not just on giving them support, but on receiving it, too. You may also benefit from focusing on your negative thought cycles and reframing the thoughts you have about yourself and your workload.

Pisces

Pisces, you sometimes struggle to establish healthy boundaries. You’re so intent on emotional connection and empathy that you tend to accidentally absorb others’ feelings, too. Though connecting with other people is important for your sign, you need to also focus on developing coping skills that prevent you from over-investing yourself in others’ lives. You don’t want to suffer burnout just from listening to other people – set aside time for yourself to engage in your hobbies privately, and use this time to reflect on your own needs and emotional capacity.
