The 5 Zodiac Signs Who Are Terrible Friends, Ranked
Before you get all buddy-buddy...
What makes a good friend? Well, a good friend always has your back, supports you no matter what, and is pretty much like family.
So what makes a bad friend? Ugh... where do we even start? There are so many factors that can make someone a bad friend. And, unfortunately, astrology can reveal the zodiac signs who make the worst friends, ranked the very worst to the not-so-worst.
So, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your friendships with these people.
1. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
Because of their conniving nature, Scorpio can seem like the best friend a girl can have! But then you realize that there’s a reason that Scorpio wants to be your friend — and it’s not because you’re awesome.
For Scorpio, most relationships, romantic or platonic, involve a level of how they can benefit, and once they get what they want, you’re left hanging wondering what you did to upset them. Hint: nothing. It's just Scorpio being Scorpio.
2. ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
Aries is a sign that works best on its own. While they’re not impossible to be friends with like Scorpio, they’re so damn combative and stubborn, that they’re just a pain in the ass when it comes to friendship.
Also, they’re never, ever, like ever, wrong, which makes them really difficult to be around in general, let alone be friends with.
3. LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Leo is basically the frenemy you wish you didn’t have. Although fiercely loyal and generous, Leo is also known to be self-involved and jealous. Leo makes for a pretty sh*tty friend because you never really know where you stand with them.
Are they talking about you behind your back because they’re envious of something good that happened to you or are they defending your honor? You’ll never really know.
4. PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
What makes Pisces such a terrible friend to have is that it doesn’t take much to upset them, because they’re so damn sensitive, and once you do upset them all is lost. What I mean by “all is lost,” is that they will never forgive you.
So if you want to maintain a friendship with Pisces, it involves walking on eggshells all the time in the hopes that they’re not having an extra sensitive day. For Pisces, alienating you forever, if you even slightly hurt them, is far more important than your friendship will ever be.
5. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)
Libra’s obsession with the superficial will have them dropping you so fast if they think, for one second, you stand in the way of them looking good to others. In fact, most of Libra’s friendships are very surface-only, as their main goal in life is to keep up appearances and charm their way into things that will only lift their social standing. Libra is only your BFF until someone better comes along.
