Our zodiac signs tell us a lot about ourselves - especially the things that make us hard to get along with.
By Madelyn Rennie — Written on Oct 12, 2016
Not fitting in is a worry that everyone gets at one point or another. It's pretty natural — even it feels like you're the only one in the world who could possibly feel the way that you do. Sometimes our self-esteem just needs a little boost. Trust me ... you are SO not alone.
We're all so afraid to stand out and be different from those around us because we don't want to feel like outcasts. No one wants to be exiled from their friends or family, and not fitting in is a really normal way to feel that.
But we are all different and unique so we're bound to stray from the norm every now and then. And that's totally okay! We live in a world where society is constantly telling us who we should be; I say just ignore them! Don't let anyone tell you that you need to act a certain way, dress a certain way, BE a certain way — be whoever the hell you want!
Chances are every time you feel like you don't fit in, there's a dozen other people who feel the same way. We all have our insecurities and nobody is perfect. But if you want to know just exactly what it is that makes you feel like you're not fitting in, then find your zodiac sign and let astrology help put some of those insecurities to rest.
The stars can tell us a lot about ourselves and how we act and react in certain situations, and it helps to understand those things so we know why we feel like we don't fit in sometimes. Are you just too shy? Or maybe you're just hanging out with the wrong people. Take a peek to find out why you feel the way you do so you can get to feeling better in no time flat.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You are WAY too competitive. You don't always have to be the best — even though you feel like you do. It's really hard to fit in when you're constantly trying to stand out.
It's okay to just go with the flow and let others win from time to time. We all know you're the best so don't worry about showing it off all the time!

You'd have nothing without the AWESOME people around you — don't forget that!

Libra (September 23-October 22)
You're afraid of having any sort of a fight with ANYONE. You just let your feelings build up inside until you feel like you're going to burst.

I mean, don't just pick a fight for no reason either, but if something is bothering you don't just let it go. You'll know which battles to pick and which to let go — I have faith!

No on likes a know-it-all — they can just be plain obnoxious. Unfortunately, you have a tendency to be one of them. People are going to want to keep their distance from you if you act like you're better than them.
Start cutting back on the fun facts and overcorrecting, just be you without having to be right all the time. Your friends know you're super smart, so take a break Einstein!

You're just super independent, so automatically you feel like an outcast because you prefer to be alone most of the time anyway.

You're a classic martyr. You probably do fit in, you're just playing the typical martyr card and refuse to believe people actually LOVE you.
