Insecurity stems from feelings of loss, distrust, and abandonment, among other painful experiences. It can hinder our progress in life when we lose confidence in ourselves and struggle to trust our own instincts and desires. Astrology, through zodiac signs, can provide insights into different aspects of our lives, including our personalities. Here are five zodiac signs that are often associated with higher levels of insecurity.
Cancer
You often take things personally because you are sensitive by nature. Your confidence is mostly based on how others perceive you, and this reliance on external validation shows that you are quite needy and insecure, despite being caring towards others.
Virgo
You have a strong drive to be the best and strive for perfection. While this quality is admirable, it can also harm your self-esteem. You tend to be overly critical of yourself and often overlook your positive qualities. This self-criticism leads to self-doubt and insecurity about your abilities.
Libra
You are someone who prefers to stay out of trouble in any situation, even if it means keeping quiet and not standing up for yourself. You are shy in nature and do not like to express your opinion in large groups. You feel insecure about what others will think of you.
Pisces
You have a tendency to prioritize the wants and needs of others over your own. It's difficult for you to say 'no' and you often struggle to express your own thoughts and opinions. While your caring nature is admirable, it also leads to excessive insecurity about yourself. You end up feeling exhausted from taking care of others when you should be focusing on taking care of yourself.
Capricorn
You may feel confident in your professional life, but when it comes to your personal relationships, you become reserved and insecure. You tend to build a protective wall around your emotions and hesitate to let others in, fearing potential hurt. Socially, you struggle with feelings of insecurity and doubt about your social skills.
