Zodiac Signs With The Worst, Most Dreadful Personalities

There are people who are just naturally dreadful. They are born with dispositions that either make them unendingly cranky, insufferably hard to be around, or simply rude enough to clear the room every time they walk in. They may even read their horoscope as a way to excuse their behavior.

We all know someone who sucks the air right out of any situation with their dreadful countenance. That family member who must sulk throughout dinner; that friend who acts like everything smells like poop; that co-worker who always makes themselves the center of attention so that once the spotlight is on them they can rant on and on about how terrible their life is while everyone feels obligated to listen.

These people know they’re miserable and they like to share. And as we all know, misery loves company.

Of all the miserable people who adore getting you involved in their muck and mire, which zodiac signs tend to bring out such awful qualities? Who are the zodiac signs with the worst personalities that bring out the greatest potential for dreadfulness?

1. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

Oh yes, I’m sure you didn’t expect to be on this list, Aries. However, you can really take the shine off a pretty penny when you’re not satisfied, and you know it. The same strength that has everyone convinced that you’re the sharpest tack in Tackville is also the same strength that, when you’re not pleased, takes the whole town down with you. When Aries is not happy, we all get a piece of that pie, and while we’re not really enjoying the taste of your sulking martyrdom and bossiness, you’ll always make sure we get a second helping, just in case we didn’t get the point.

2. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

Nothing like Cancer on a whining bender. Cancer is the sign of moodiness and irritability, and should the mood take them, you might as well bash your head repeatedly into a wall just so that you can remember what it’s like to be in control of your own emotions. When Cancer takes center stage, the dread washes over you like a thick, poisonous river of yegh. These people mean business when they’re not in a pleasant mood. You could say they have the market on dreadful behavior cornered. Cancer is ruled by the moon, as in “menstrual” as in PMS as in Kill Me Now.

3. LEO (July 23 - August 22)

Leos are just bratty bullies and their arrogance can be unsettling at times. It’s hard to argue with a Leo when they are convinced they are not only right but the authority on all things — ever. When Leo doesn’t get his or her way, then it’s time to roll out the dread carpet, because this cat wants to puke all over it. When Leo pouts, you’ll be tempted to walk away, but you won’t get far because they can’t put on a show without an audience to watch and suffer through their every move. You’ll be back because you’ll never hear the end of it if you even dare to ignore them.

4. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)

If you hate yourself and wish to suffer long bouts of sadness and defeat, then, by all means, hang out with a Virgo for long periods of time. Where some of the other zodiac signs with the worst personalities have a tendency to be mean, self-pitying or boorish, Virgo, on the other hand, is simply the most dreadful sign of the zodiac. They cannot help it — it’s astrological.

It’s the kind of personality deficit that makes you look to the cosmos to ask, “Why? Why did you create Virgos?” These people can and will see the worst in any situation, even when it comes to sex, but there’s nobody Virgo hates more than you, so by all means, friend up that Virgo and treat yourself to a relationship where all you’ll be doing is praying for death to finally end it all.

5. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)

Welcome to martyrdom, Pisces. You’ve been picked as one of the most dreadful signs of them all. Now here’s your chance to feel sorry for yourself all day long. When Pisces delivers its dread load to the world, it’s always in the form of self-pity. Pisces is that loner in the corner, crying to themselves — and not the cool loner with the artsy ideas who is simply crazy and crying because the art is too much. I mean, the one at the party who broods and spends most of the time in the bathroom, worrying any potential friends of their whereabouts. “Where’s Pisces? Where did they run off to?” They ran off to be alone so that you could notice, of course. Because that’s what you needed to do at a party: worry constantly about your hypersensitive friend.
