They're spoiled rotten.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Dec 22, 2017
It’s easy to spot a spoiled brat — they’re the ones having a tantrum over something ridiculous. And no, spoiled brats aren’t always children.
You know you’re a spoiled brat if you always insist on having your way, and when you don’t get it you practically have a meltdown. Spoiled brats tend not to think about other people’s feelings or how their actions will affect others. They’re self-centered, and rather than make something happen for themselves, they depend on other people to do it for them, maybe even going so far as depending on their horoscope.
At some point in the life of a spoiled adult brat, they were indulged, and they grew not only to like it but to depend on it. Whoever helped them to become spoiled brats probably didn’t intend to affect their character, impair or damage them, but their excessive indulgence most likely did just that.
Spoiled adults probably started out as spoiled children, but as they grew so did their feelings of entitlement. They take advantage of their own privilege and depend on others to keep it going. They want what they want, and they want it now, so whatever you can do to help them, do it.
Here are the brattiest zodiac signs who just won't settle for less.
1. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Since Pisces are extremely creative, it's not surprising that they are at their most bratty when something gets in the way of a planned project. They will pout and complain when they don't get their own way.
A Pisces individual finds taking responsibility for their actions very difficult. If they could live in a world where they were served and pampered, and all they had to do was their art, that would be perfect.
Secretly, they think that household chores, yard work, or anything "adult" is a waste of time. They'd rather follow someone else and let them take on the responsibility.
2. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos secretly think they're royalty and they believe that if they want something, one of their subjects or staff should get it for them. They don't like to be told, "No, you can't have that," as it enrages them. They will have a meltdown over completely ridiculous things such as not having a new outfit for a party or having a bad hair day.
Leos will manipulate and threaten people so that they can get their own way. They love spending money and having money spent on them. The good thing is that because Leos having such dazzling personalities and star quality, there's no shortage of people that will make it their life's mission to spoil them.
3. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Sometimes, Gemini likes to be the person doing the spoiling, but most of the time, they like to be spoiled. They can be childish in their demanding of attention, gifts, and indulgences. They want everything, and they want you to get on it and make it happen for them.
They can get easily bored, so they need outside stimulus to keep them entertained. Anyone in their life must be willing to pander to them. Geminis tend to be lacking in direction and depend on other people to pave the path for them so they don't have to do the hard work but can reap the rewards.
4. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries don't do well when someone suggests they proceed with caution or gets in the way of them achieving or gaining something they want. They will behave like a spoiled brat in these circumstances.
It's not that Aries don't have discipline, it's just that they don't like to be told they shouldn't do something or that they need to consider the bigger picture. Sometimes when an Aries individual gets frustrated, they will take it out on those around them.
5. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
While not known for their sensitivity to others, Aquarius can be very sensitive when it comes to themselves and their needs. There's no middle ground with an Aquarius — you're either assisting them in getting what they want, or you're in their way.
Sometimes, Aquarians just like to act up and be demanding so no one will think of them as a pushover. They like to stir the pot and see what happens.
6. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus can be extremely stubborn and when they don't get what they want, they'll dig their heels in until the situation is remedied. It's very hard for a Taurus to admit when they're wrong and usually expect the other party to take responsibility when something hasn't gone as expected.
Taurus would rather not have to do something themselves but are often forced to, because in Taurus' mind, no one has their incredibly high standards and they just can't do anything right. While they might not believe anyone does anything as well as they do, that doesn't stop Taurus from complaining.
7. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpio becomes a spoiled brat when things don't go their way in a relationship or they don't get what they want. When a Scorpio gets hurt, they tend to become big babies and lash out.
If a Scorpio is tending to their wounds, they want everyone around them to indulge and take care of them so they can heal. Scorpios are clever and they know how to manipulate other people to get what they want. And if they don't get it, their meltdown will be intense and scary.
