How Friendship With You Boosts The Self-Esteem Of Others, According To Astrology
Your friendship is the self-esteem boost the world needs.
unsplash We all need a self-esteem booster in our lives and friendship is one way that we know we are loved and accepted no matter how bad the day makes us feel.
We’re all beautiful in our own way, and depending on which zodiac sign you are in astrology, your loveliness comes out uniquely as a friend.
The confidence you radiate should be your strongest and most powerful feature. The way you display your self-confidence differs depending on who you are — and the friends you keep around can boost your self-esteem!
While you can literally have a high sense of self with major confidence in literally anything, self-love is the ultimate superpower that each zodiac sign has the potential of feeling.
There are ways to improve self-esteem, so you can feel your best and help your friends see the best in themselves, too. You already do it without realizing it. Just ask any of your friends. They know.
To have self-confidence is to be fearless. Trust your intuition, and be unapologetically yourself. Once you are able to muster that confidence and make it stick, you become unstoppable.
This confidence can come out through the clothes you wear, the way you view life and yourself, and even by how generous your hearts is.
Body image can be a sticky topic, because something others may find desirable about our body, may not be what you like about yourself. And, that’s okay.
Loving all that you are is a process. And for some zodiac signs, it’s easy; but for horoscopes born with more sensitive personality types, it can take a bit of time.
Some zodiac signs radiate self-confidence more than others at birth,(ahem, Leo and Scorpio) especially when it comes to being comfortable in your skin.
Other signs have strong sense of self-esteem, too. Whether you’re an Aries was born confident, or you’re a Gemini or Cancer zodiac sign who can secretly overthink your confidence away, being completely and utterly in love with yourself is a process that comes in waves.
That's why self-esteem can run from high to low depending on where you are or how you feel that day. With that being said, even the most confident of zodiac signs have days where they feel like hiding in a shell — being withdrawn isn't just for the Crabs of astrology!
But the common theme that helps every zodiac sign is born with a unique horoscope designed to overcome their negative outlook on themselves and to aid others in friendship.
Because every Sun sign needs a friend in their life who are constantly lifting them up and inspiring them.
And when you have good friends, it is easier to realize that every, body is unique, and beautiful; and the more you take care of our body, the easier it becomes to love the skin you are in and regain the confidence you lost.
Here is a list of how each zodiac sign boosts other's self-esteem through friendship, according to astrology.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Your friendship is a natural self-esteem booster in friendship. Your exterior radiates self-confidence and a great amount of self-love, so you motivate others to do the same. Like every Sun sign, you do have your moments of feeling self-conscious about your looks and physical appearance, but you try your hardest to not let that stop you from living your best possible life.
In friendship, you often act as the leader when it comes to body positivity, and set the stage for the other zodiac signs. From the stretch marks on your butt to even a nose that you feel is slightly crooked, you will own up to all you are. Your self-worth makes it tough to knock you down.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Someone can tell you that you are the most beautiful being that they have ever came across, and you will still have trouble believing in that. While not all who share your sign wear their lack of self-confidence on their sleeve, a lot wear the stress of being perfect on your face.
This is one of the many reasons why you're such an amazing friend to have around when a person feels like their self-esteem needs a boost. Whether it be spending an unnecessary amount of time getting ready or checking your appearance in every mirror that you pass, you have a very hard time not checking if you look presentable.
So, you don't flinch when someone asks you how they feel or what you think of them. You know how important body image and body positivity and you look out for your friends to defend theirs. It’s never out of conceit for yourself but rather because you genuinely see the beauty that everyone else fails to see in themselves.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
If there is one sign that goes above and beyond when it comes to embracing confidence, it would be you. No matter what size of shape you are, you keep finding new ways and things that you love about yourself.
And when other people notice this and compliment you on their energy and opinion on yourselves. It’s even better. You don’t care about what anyone has to say about what you wear or how you look, because the only person whose opinion matters most to you is your own.
So, you really know how to help friends set boundaries for themselves when it comes to negative self talk. You have the power to make even the most self and body conscious zodaic signs feel at ease about the way you look, and how they look, too.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
You are notoriously known for being very conscious and calculative when it comes to talking to other people, so just imagine how conscious you are about yourself.
You do not like to draw unnecessary attention to yourself, which is why you would rather cover up and wear modest clothing and colors than things that stand out. What determines how much self-confidence a you have, especially when it comes to body image, depends on the people that you surround yourself with as well. So, you pick your friends wisely, which is what makes friendship with you super special.
The more uplifting your friends make you feel, the more likely you are to return the favor.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
You love yourself and your appearance. You love it so much that you feel that everyone else loves a Leo’s looks just as much. Your love for your body is beautiful, and many other zodiac signs wish that you could muster even a little of the confidence that lies within the Leo. Hey, Elizabeth Taylor was a Leo; and she was the most beautiful woman in the world — enough said!
Sometimes you do have the problem knowing when to stop talking about how good you look, and often forget that a friend may not be as confident, even if you wish they were or wanted to be. The greatest thing a you do is tell your friends that they look good as well; that way everyone is happy.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Your constant desire to be perfect, can get the best of you when it comes to keeping your self-esteem from going from high to low. Your notorious for saying things and sounding negative, but that's nothing compared to how you are with yourself. You pick at everything that you don’t like about yourself and pick at it until it is “fixed”.
Sometimes the way you view yourself is not how others see you in reality. You really understand why a friend's anxiety will rise when that happens. The only way you overcome is in your caring personality, which shows up best in friendship.
You are a kind souls who loves to help people. So telling someone you that they have a nice personality makes you as happy as if they told you that you look good.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
You are the queen of being analytical. Whenever you go out you want to make sure you look perfect at all times. Whether it is making sure your collar is aligned correctly, to making sure that your makeup is not smudged, you want to look perfect at all times. Because when you look perfect, you are perfect.
You can become so obsessed with your looks that you forget about everything else in your life. This makes you a wonderful friend who tries to make others feel good about themselves.
You are not only good at giving compliments, but also love getting them. Compliments act as a reminder to everyone that the amount of time and effort you put into your looks and body appearance are all worth it.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
You possess the ultimate power that lies within body positivity and self-view. You think and believe highly in yourself. The only time that a you, or any Scorpio will truly second guess yourself is if there is another person that you feel intimidated by appearance wise.
Your need for self-assurance, often stops you from being your happiest when in a group, and so you have really worked on this area of your self-esteem. This is because you constantly compare yourself to other people when in public, whereas in private that is not the case.
Your confidence can falter in times of distress; and so you 'get' the whole competitive, not competitive friend thing, that happens when you don't want to feel that way at all. So, while you may not always have the confidence of a warrior, once given the opportunity, you can quickly gain it, and understand when a friend is a bit moodier than usual. There's always room to grow!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
You are all about your public image. And even if the rest of the world thinks that you look good, the problem is that you don’t necessarily think that you look good, unless you look specific way.
And while every woman have the small dream of looking like a super model one day, a your natural Sagittarius’ beauty ideals can be a little outrageous. You want to look perfect at all times and may do whatever beauty ritual it takes to look like a celebrity.
But it is easy to bring you back down to earth about beauty ideals, and you find this balance in friendship. One thing you're lovely at is reminding your friends that everyone is beautiful in their own way.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
You love to love yourself at all times. But when you do run into body or self-confidence issues, your first instinct is to shut down. You can become lost in your own thoughts on why you do not look like someone else and can ultimately become your greatest enemy.
While your journey towards self-love and body positivity is slower, it is steady. What can speed up the process is great friends who are willing to help you uncover yourself, so you are the first one to be there for a friend who needs support night or day. You will not only know what to wear to look good on the outside, but your inner beauty makes others feel good as well. Once your confidence is lit, it to be put out. That's why you're always there for your friends.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
You can literally compare yourself to death, which is why you are often competitive. You have enough confidence to think highly of yourself, but sometimes that confidence can wear thin. The pressure you put on yourself to be the greatest in the group is what really drives you insane. So, when you see the same in a friend, you know how to put their worries at ease.
The best and only solution to this that you have found is to surround yourself with good people, who also see the good in you. You enjoy feeling that you belong and when your friends achieve that feeling, and having friends who can keep up with you, makes you feel unstoppable. There's nothing better than a group of friends that believe that there is beauty that lies throughout them all.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Your view on self-esteem and self-image is interchangeable. On any occasion, who you are with determines your energy and feelings for the day. If you feel that all your friends are complaining about their looks and appearance, then you’re more likely to pick out something that you don’t like about yourself and get self-conscious about it.
Whereas if they are surrounded by friends who are boasting each other up, then you are more likely to feel good about yourself and the way that you look. All you need is some good energy and you will unapologetically show the world how much you love yourself and your friends. When your friends learn this about you, they learn how to be more positive, and that's how you encourage strong self-esteem.
