4 Way Too Nice Zodiac Signs Who Get Taken Advantage Of By Everybody
People always walk all over these zodiac signs.
Unsplash There’s a fine line between being a pushover and just being very nice, and very few people can actually walk this line.
When it comes down to it all though, your zodiac sign is either nice (with boundaries) or a total pushover – no in between and no walking a fine line.
Some zodiac signs really are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.
But they often want to make friends or show you their super nice side so intensely that they’ll do just about anything to get on your good side, even if it means letting you walk all over them.
Being a pushover means being a follower, being a people-pleaser, and having no boundaries with the people in your life.
Being nice simply means not being a jerk and choosing kindness over being inconsiderate.
So what makes it so different for these zodiac signs whose kindness so easily turns into being a pushover?
For one, they want to be liked, no matter what.
This isn’t a bad thing to want at all, but certain zodiac signs will go to great lengths just to get others to like them, which often results in people walking all over them.
For another, they have a hard time saying no and setting boundaries, which almost always bites them in the butt in the end.

As someone who is a people-pleaser myself, I understand how hard it can be to know when to say no and when to set boundaries with people so that we can still be friends and I don’t get burned out. It’s something I’m still learning how to do.
Pushovers want to prove themselves to people, show others that they are always willing to lend a helping hand, and go to great lengths to make other people happy.
While all of this might feel great in the moment, it almost always leads to burnout, self-criticism, and a lot of feelings of regret.
If you’re one of these zodiac signs, you need to learn how to set boundaries with others – that’s your ticket to leaving that people-pleaser attitude behind and learn how to just be nice.
It’s not always easy to say no or assert yourself when you’re not familiar with it, but it can do wonders for you in the long run – meaning no more burnout and no more people walking all over you.
Before you can do that, keep reading to find out which zodiac signs are total pushovers and let people walk all over them, according to astrology.
1. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leo is a very strong leader, but he can still be a pushover. As someone with a huge, kind heart, bending over backward for the people he cares about most is common. Put Leo in a situation where he simply can’t say no, and you will see just how much of a pushover he can be. Leo leads and makes decisions with his heart, not his head, and his heart is what gets him into the most trouble.
People often mistake Leo’s assertiveness for stubbornness. Just because he knows how to stand up for himself doesn’t mean that he’s all tough skin and no heart. In fact, he’s all mushy inside. If he can relate to whatever you’re going through, or if he feels like he can help you in some way, he will turn into a big ol’ pushover.
2. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
As someone who is quite discerning, you think Virgo would be a lot less of a pushover than he is, but that’s just not the case. Virgo gets caught up in all the self-pitying that comes with not getting his way or dealing with failure. Whether it helps him cope, or he's just looking for a reason to mope, Virgo prefers misery to dusting himself off and moving on.
Virgo is a pushover because he gets too caught up in criticizing his mistakes and pitying himself to deal with a situation any other way. When he’s off his game, you can manipulate him to do pretty much anything, simply because he wants someone to help him solve what's got him so down.
3. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
If any zodiac sign is the classic pushover, it’s Libra. He would do just about anything to avoid conflict and confrontation, even if it meant sacrificing telling the truth and finding his own happiness to make other people feel better. Libra is the sign of the scales, which means that he is constantly looking for balance and harmony.
The thing that makes Libra a pushover is the fact that he is a big people pleaser. He wants everyone to be happy, even if it means he’s not entirely happy himself. Libra lives to serve and please others, which can end up biting him in the butt in the end.
If Libra wants to bring harmony and balance into his life, he should work on setting boundaries between putting himself first and making time for others, rather than constantly being a pushover.
4. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces is such a trusting zodiac sign that it often gets him into trouble. He is by no means a leader, and it shows when his pushover side comes out. He would much rather ask for help or put someone else in charge, even if it means being led away from his true goals. In reality, he just wants someone to lift him up, but it often turns into someone controlling him instead.
Pisces doesn’t always trust himself to make the right decisions, which means he leans on others to make those decisions for him. He simultaneously wants help and direction from others and wants to make his own decisions. When he realizes that he can’t have it all, he blames himself for everything. His pushover status turns him into someone who seems weaker than he really is.
