3 Zodiac Signs Who Project Their Insecurities Onto Others

  • Updated

Insecurity is a natural part of life, forcing us to reflect on our minor character flaws and minimize the strengths of our individual personalities. As hard as it is to summon the confidence necessary to look past our insecurities, meditating on our less than admirable qualities ultimately helps us transform into improved versions of ourselves with time. Some people, however, seem to have trouble addressing their insecurities, projecting their issues onto close friends and acquaintances rather than facing their problems head-on in a healthy and cathartic manner.

Cancer

You’re a deeply emotional person, Cancer, outfitting you with a fundamental understanding of everyone’s emotions around you. For all your intricate thoughts and feelings, though, you have difficulty sharing your feelings with others, holding most people at an emotional arm’s distance away. Letting your emotions fester and negatively influence your outlook on friends and family members, you can’t help but grow distrustful of other people over time – an attribute that comes from your withdrawn nature and deep-seated sensitivity. 

Virgo

You have a reputation for being something of a perfectionist, maintaining a high standard when it comes to your professional career or the overall cleanliness of your living space. While you’re certainly aware that these perfectionist qualities can be an issue at times, you refuse to settle for anything less than the best. As a result, you tend to react with hostility whenever someone tries to do the bare minimum. Rather than this being indicative of the other person’s personality, your harsh reactions demonstrate your own unrelenting work ethic.

Pisces

Like your fellow water sign in Cancer, your inner emotions know no bounds, Pisces, leading you to interpret every little action as a potentially life-changing event that has a direct bearing on your future. Because of your overarching sensitivity, you view the most mundane problems as a serious issue, whether it’s your friend canceling on you at the very last minute or your romantic partner postponing date night because of their hectic work schedule. Routinely making a mountain of a molehill, your constant overreactions tend to illustrate your overarching fragility, causing you to manifest problems when there aren’t any in sight.
