5 Zodiacs Who Act Heartless Because They’re Afraid Of Getting Hurt

Aries

An Aries seems like the King or Queen of the game, but the truth is they’re actually very sensitive and take things a lot more personally than they show. Usually, their mean comebacks and their indifferent attitude are just tactics to hide how emotional they can be and how the smallest thing can easily trigger them. When an Aries falls in love, they love unconditionally, and so they don’t hurt like any other sign. This is why they will try too hard to show that they’re chill and they don’t care, but eventually they won’t be able to hide how loving, romantic, and sappy they really are for too long. 

Taurus

A Taurus may seem serious and unbothered most of the time and they will never reveal how they’re truly feeling to anyone because they have major trust issues. They’ve been burned before by both friends and lovers, so they never give people access to them until they know for sure they’ve ‘earned’ it. However, they have a very big heart and a kind nature that not many people get to see and they believe in love and happy endings, but they will never admit that and will never admit that they’re actually searching for their very own fairytale romance. 

Virgo 

Virgos may sabotage their own relationships just because they don’t want to seem ‘weak’ and give someone a chance to hurt them again. Virgos don’t fall in love easily, but when they do, they’ll stick with you forever through thick and thin, and even a change in your tone of voice can trigger them and keep them wondering if they did anything wrong. Virgos also have a fear of abandonment and they worry that their partner might leave them—that’s why their fears make them ruin their relationships, but they are just big hopeless romantics who are willing to give everything up to be with the person they love. But if you ask them, they might tell you they’re either not interested or not looking for love—just a trick to protect themselves from falling. 

Scorpio 

Scorpios have a bad reputation when it comes to love because they either cheat on their partners or they are known to be serial daters, and that’s because they have addictive personalities. If they get attached to one person, that person will be everything to them and they won’t be able to let them go. They try too hard not to get attached to one person or put all their eggs in one basket, and sometimes they like having that reputation because it makes them look in control, but at the end of the day, they want to find that one person who makes them feel safe and show them that they’re worth their undivided devotion and commitment. 

Aquarius 

Aquarius people have been labeled aloof, distant, cold, and indifferent by almost everyone, and as much as they do love their freedom and detaching from everyone sometimes, they do crave stability with the right person. Even though they have lived up to these labels because of how quickly they move on from relationships or how they ‘ghost’ those who hurt them, that’s just the mask they wear to teach people how to treat them or show someone that they don’t need them. An Aquarius needs love because it inspires them and makes them feel alive, but they will never go out of their way to admit that or even find that love. They will just keep waiting until someone decides to ‘fight’ for them.
