4 Zodiacs Who Get Their Shyness Mistaken For A Bad Attitude

Sometimes itโ€™s obvious when someone is shy. They stumble over their words, they blush, they sweep away their eye contact at the last second. Not everyone is so easy to read, though. Sometimes we assume someone is a bitch or uninterested when theyโ€™re really just afraid to open up. Are you one of the following four zodiac signs who always get their shyness mistaken for something else?

Taurus

You unfortunately have a bit of a resting bitch face. Youโ€™ll be happy to meet someone new but theyโ€™ll assume that youโ€™re put off by them somehow. Itโ€™s the quiet intensity. Youโ€™ve probably noticed that you have to be overly friendly just to get a good reaction from new people. So when youโ€™re shy and reserved, it almost never goes well. If youโ€™ve ever wondered why you donโ€™t give off a better first impression, this is why. Luckily, when people take the time to get to know you, they realize youโ€™re not as much of a curmudgeon as they thought.

Scorpio

Itโ€™s the walls you put up. You might be feeling incredibly shy and apprehensive about a social situation, but will you show that? Hell no. Youโ€™d rather die than let people know youโ€™re feeling insecure. Unfortunately, that means they can use their imagination when they try to figure out why youโ€™re being so quiet. Thatโ€™s why they assume itโ€™s because youโ€™re a bitch. If you could let down your walls just a tiny little bit, youโ€™ll find youโ€™ll start attracting a lot more people.

Capricorn

Youโ€™re so dang serious and arenโ€™t afraid to share your opinions. Frankly, people would believe that you hate them before theyโ€™d ever suspect that youโ€™re shy. It just doesnโ€™t match up with the vision they have of you in their heads. You? Shy? No way! And yet here you are getting nervous about talking to new people. If they only knew how hard it was for you sometimes. I guess thereโ€™s a compliment in there somewhere if you want to look hard enoughโ€“something about how strong-willed you seem. If you want them to know youโ€™re shy, you could always tell them, then watch as their world-view implodes.

Aquarius

Like Capricorn, you have a serious demeanor when youโ€™re around new people. Unlike them, you arenโ€™t nearly as talkative when youโ€™re nervous or shy. Instead you hang off to the side, quietly watching all the charismatic outgoing people work their magic. New people will ask your friends what your deal is, and if your friends say itโ€™s just that youโ€™re shy, they might not believe it. You donโ€™t come off as shyโ€“just quietly intense and maybe a little scary. Theyโ€™ll insist you hate them. It might take extra work to prove youโ€™re not a bad person, but itโ€™ll hopefully be worth the effort.
