4 Zodiacs Who Feel Highly Misunderstood

  • Updated

Cancer

Cancer is known to be overly sensitive and emotional, but their personalities are much deeper, more complex, and more nuanced than what shows on the surface. As such, these signs are highly misunderstood because they are not as sensitive as the zodiac has made them out to be. They are incredibly receptive and empathetic thanks to their soft side, and they bring a positive cheerful attitude with them wherever they go. Thus, Cancers are more than just the stereotype of being “cry babies” or “overly sensitive.” 

Leo

Leos are notoriously known for wanting attention and mass approval; however, this is still a stereotype and a misunderstanding that is harmful to their image. In fact, Leos have worked hard to get to where they are right now, and that’s the main reason why they come off as though they are “showing off” to others—it’s because they want recognition for their hard work. Next time you think Leos are showing off, it’s also probably due to an accomplishment that’s been well-earned and well-deserved. 

Virgo

Virgos get a bad rep for being perfectionistic, but that isn’t always the case. The reason why a Virgo values perfectionism so much is not because they want to point out your imperfections, but because they hold themselves to high standards, which means they hold you to high standards too. In essence, a Virgo not only wants what’s best for themselves and others. Of course, there is a point where it can be detrimental to a relationship or friendship, but overall, a Virgo’s perfectionism is about being better than the person they were before.

Scorpio 

Scorpios get a bad rep for being ruthless and vindictive in cutting people out from their life, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care. A Scorpio has its soft side, and they are very empathetic people, which means they can indeed feel things deeply. However, Scorpios are capable of turning their emotions on and off, which means they can act like they hate you on the outside, but deep down they may still like you. Overall, Scorpios are not as cutthroat as people think they are and can be very tender-hearted.
