6 Loneliest Zodiac Signs Who Don't Realize How Much Support They Have
They don't see how much they're loved.
getty Loneliness happens to us all. We can be lonely by ourselves, in the middle of a crowd, or a combination of the two. There are times when we get so caught up in our loneliness that we don’t even realize how much love we have in our lives. This can be especially true with certain lonely zodiac signs in astrology.
You can be alone and not be lonely. If you enjoy your own company and are able to find joy in small moments and things, you’re not lonely. You don’t need people around you 24/7 in order to be loved; sometimes, a connection is just as strong miles apart as it would be in the same room.
When you’re feeling lonely, it can be helpful to think about the people in your life and reach out to them, even if you had been estranged before. Loneliness can be a wake-up call to look inside yourself and realize all the things and people you have to be grateful for, and how loved you’ve always been.
1. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios can be lonely because they are distrusting of people and push them away. If you constantly have your walls up and rebuff people who want to be in your life, you will find yourself alone.
No matter how much you enjoy being alone, there are times when the solitude can get to you and you feel lonely. If Scorpio could just relax a little and let people in, they'd see how many people like and admire them.
2. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces tends to feel misunderstood and that's what leads to them feeling lonely. If you felt separate from everyone and that any kind of connection was challenging, you'd feel cut off from people.
Pisces tend to channel their loneliness into other things such as art, music, or whatever creative project attracts them. They are very sensitive and sometimes people feel scared to be around them because they might hurt their feelings without meaning to.
3. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers feel lonely when they don't think anybody cares about what they're going through. Cancers tend to be there for everybody else, but when they need some caring, there's no one there to listen.
Sometimes it's easier for Cancer to just retreat and be a hermit rather than step outside their comfort zone and make an effort to make new friends. These individuals make great friends and, if they allow it, other people will be wonderful friends to them.
4. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras are one of those signs who can have a ton of people around them and still feel lonely. This is because they feel as if they always must present their happy face or people won't accept them.
But what Libras don't always know is that they are lovable with all their flaws and imperfections; in fact, it's those things that not only make them interesting but human as well. Be a social butterfly, but that doesn't mean you have to hide your real self.
5. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorns can become so focused on their work and may cancel plans, and then when the project is finished, there's no one there. They may not be great about opening up or checking in with people.
Letting your family and friends know that you're going to be super busy for a while, but that you'll catch with them when it's done, can help keep those relationships going.
6. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo can sometimes alienate people without meaning to. What they think is helpful advice may come across as harsh and judgmental.
Virgos may find criticism helpful but not everyone feels that way, so if somebody hasn't asked you to be brutally honest, think of something positive to say instead. People tend to admire this zodiac and want to be friends with them... if Virgo will just allow them.
