It's not a concern.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Jan 28, 2020
Are you someone who doesn’t care about being polite? It’s not that you’re rude, necessarily, you just don’t care if you have any manners. You don't think about things like courtesy or consideration, or maybe you think being polite doesn’t present the right image.
Is being polite too old-fashioned for the world we live in? Do polite people come off as fake or too vulnerable?
The answer may lie with astrology, because there are some personality types who are more likely to be impolite zodiac signs.
And these signs have no time or inclination for being polite. You can be a good person even if you’re not polite, but if you’re doing something like a job interview that requires making a good first impression and you’re not polite, they may not want to hire you.
Being impolite or not caring about whether you have good manners can make you look bad in some situations. Heck, it could even ruin your business career.
1. Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
It's not that Capricorns are rude, but they are ambitious and are very focused. They may get so caught up in the work or what they have to do to get ahead that being polite doesn't even figure in.
They're not mean or even inconsiderate, just pressed for time. They have too much to do and too little time to do it, so they may not hold the door open for you or remember to send you a text. Just know their intentions are good, and Capricorns will always be there when you need their help.
2. Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Aries are too impatient and impulsive to be polite. Sometimes they say things right off the top of their head without realizing how those things are going to land. If they had a little patience and more self-control, they might be able to hold back without doing or saying something that can come off as thoughtless or rude.
Like Capricorn, Aries has things to do and they don't want to wait around while someone takes too much time searching for their parking ticket or making a decision. If you're overly concerned, you're wasting time as far as Aries is concerned.
3. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius can sometimes seem detached and aloof. They would rather not get too emotional or have to participate in someone else's drama if they can help it. They can be extremely unpredictable, and if they don't feel like dealing with something, they may handle it in a rude way.
Aquarians have a lot on their mind and are always trying to come up with solutions to problems. Sometimes they simply don't have the extra bandwidth to care about being polite. If they are, that's great; if they aren't, there's very little impetus to change.
4. Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Leos have a lot going on in their lives and they can't do everything. Being polite isn't at the top of the list for Leo. It's not that they're rude, it's that there's so much going on in their head that they get distracted and may forget entirely about being polite.
It's better for Leo to give their focus to one thing at a time rather than spread their energy in many different directions and not do everything well. Leos aren't mediocre in any way, and if they come off as self-involved because of it, that's okay.
5. Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos don't think too much about being polite or having good manners. They can come off as being abrupt and that can be interpreted as being impolite. They don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but sometimes they can get so wrapped up in the things they've promised to do that being courteous or polite gets side-lined.
Sometimes their perfectionism can affect their self-esteem in a negative way, which can lead to them being impolite. If pointed out to them, a Virgo would try to improve and do better.
