There’s a thin line between humility and self-deprecation.
Some of us have a knack for downplaying our accomplishments, while others seem to have a permanent seat on the self-pity train. But did you know that your zodiac sign might be responsible for this low self-esteem?
So, which zodiac signs are more likely to underestimate their worth?
Get ready as we take a deep dive into the world of astrology to find out.
1) Virgo
Virgos are notorious for their perfectionist tendencies and critical nature.
They’re often seen as the workaholics of the zodiac, always striving to improve and perfect everything around them. However, this obsession with perfection often extends to their self-perception, leading to a constant feeling of inadequacy.
Their high standards can often create a mental loop where they never feel good enough. They’re their own worst critic, often ignoring their accomplishments and focusing on their perceived flaws and failures.
The constant self-criticism and overthinking can make Virgos undervalue their worth and abilities. And even though it’s not about seeking validation from others, it’s more about Virgos learning to acknowledge their strengths and give themselves the credit they truly deserve.
So, if you spot a Virgo downplaying their achievements or being too hard on themselves, remind them of all the amazing things they’ve accomplished. They might just need a little boost to realize how truly fantastic they are.
2) Pisces
Pisces are known to be the most empathetic and sensitive among the zodiac signs.
Their high sensitivity, however, can often lead them to internalize negative experiences and comments more deeply than others. This, coupled with their tendency to be overly selfless, can result in a low opinion of themselves.
Being the dreamers of the zodiac, they often feel misunderstood and out of place in the real world. They can sometimes get lost in their own world and forget to advocate for themselves.
Pisces tend to put others before themselves, often to their own detriment. They are quick to point out their flaws and slow to recognize their strengths.
But don’t be fooled, beneath this self-deprecating exterior lies a compassionate and creative soul. If only they could see themselves through the eyes of those who love and appreciate them, they’d realize how truly special they are.
3) Capricorn
Famed for their discipline and ambition, Capricorns are another zodiac sign that often undervalues themselves.
These hard-working individuals are driven by the need to succeed and make a difference, often pushing themselves to the brink in the process. Unfortunately, this also means they tend to overlook their own needs and feelings, leading to a lower self-opinion.
Capricorns are known to take on heavy responsibilities and set high standards for themselves. However, they can easily fall into the trap of equating their self-worth with their achievements.
This constant need to prove themselves can result in them undervaluing their own worth. If you know a Capricorn who’s being too hard on themselves, remind them that it’s okay to take a break and not everything is a competition.
4) Cancer
Last but not least, we have Cancer. Known to be one of the most nurturing signs of the zodiac, Cancers often end up neglecting their own needs while taking care of others.
Their emotional and caring nature can often lead them to absorb other people’s problems as their own. This high level of empathy can, unfortunately, result in them carrying emotional burdens that lower their self-esteem.
Cancers are also known for their mood swings, which can often lead to periods of self-doubt and uncertainty about their worth. They can be tough on themselves and may even believe they’re not as good or deserving as others.
However, what Cancers need to remember is that their sensitivity is not a weakness but a strength that makes them the caring and compassionate individuals they are.
Final words
Dealing with low self-esteem isn’t confined to specific zodiac signs; it’s a universal human experience that many struggle with.
Whether you’re one of these four signs or not, remember that it’s okay to have moments of self-doubt. What’s important is that you don’t let these moments define your worth.
After all, we’re all perfectly imperfect in our own ways!
