Gaslighting is their specialty.
By Ruby Miranda — Written on Feb 15, 2020
It's a pretty awful feeling when you're with someone who makes you feel crazy. It's even worse when you know you're not crazy, yet they insist you are.
That's called gaslighting, and it happens all the time. Some people are practically professional at it, while others seem to be in the place where they're always the one being set up for the fall.
A person can make you feel crazy by showing you constant disapproval or doubt. You can be made to feel crazy when someone twists the truth, or when they insist something happened that never happened. "I never said that" is a trigger that can drive a person mental, especially when they know for sure that "that" was indeed said.
Unfortunately, the zodiac signs who make others feel crazy are masters of gaslighting.
A perfect example would be something that commonly occurs between men and women. The woman has an issue and wants to discuss it, and the man tells the woman she's out of her mind, wrong, deluded. The woman never gets to discuss what's on her mind because the urgency of her request has been diminished, made meaningless.
Calling a woman "crazy" is the oldest trick in the world. It's a stereotype, and unfortunately when you shut people down by calling them crazy, they go crazy with frustration. Men call women "crazy" when women make men feel uncomfortable. Sometimes a woman's truth is a man's inconvenience, hence the easy way out is to put the blame on her, call her crazy, and reduce her entire life to a simple case of female hysteria.
Which zodiac signs make others feel crazy?
1. Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
If you want to lose your mind, get involved with a Gemini. Not only are they unable to communicate properly, but they have such a sense of entitlement that anything you do say or do will be instantly judged and deemed unworthy.
Gemini is a truly hateful sign; their snobbery proceeds them, and if you wish to be taken seriously by one, then you have another thing coming. It's in their cosmic makeup to continuously gaslight you due to their horrible inability to talk things out.
2. Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo's sense of order is a bit obsessive, and while they think this is just the most adorable and sexy thing in the world, what's really going on is that they are simply stuck in their ways. That kind of "stuck" means there's no room for you, or your ways, and that can really be a nuisance.
Virgo is another of the signs that are terrible at communication. You'll want to smash your head against a wall when you see their spelling. Bad grammar is a Virgo trait, and it's enough to make you blow a gasket.
3. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpio will drive you crazy because they are compelled to control you, and nobody wants to be controlled. They are jealous and raging, and if they suspect you've deceived them, even if it's their paranoid fantasy, they'll make your life a living hell.
They will lie to you to regain control, and they will punish you for giving them that control. They do not know what they want, and those who get involved with Scorpios usually tire of the unending games and set-ups. The goal is to make you crazy, and they have all the patience in the world to make that happen.
4. Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Libra owns none of their actions and takes responsibility for nothing. They will harm you, hurt you, play with your emotions, and when you cry, they'll walk away. They have no attachment to anything or anyone.
If you make the mistake of falling in love with a Libra, you will suffer, because they will cheat, lie and use you. You will confront them with evidence, with the proof right in front of their face, and they will deny, deny, deny. They never admit they've done wrong and they will always let you wriggle in the dark, trying to figure it all out on your own.
5. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
If you're into being duped six ways from Tuesday, then hook your wagon to Aquarius, as they are sure to drive you to drinking. This sign is all about themselves, and that's fine, as we all are to some degree; however, with Aquarius, they have a sadistic streak.
Jealousy causes them to do obscene things. It's very hard to be in a lasting friendship with a person who will steal your lover, rip you off, never apologize, and leave you wondering what happened and why. They do not like you, and you'll be driven crazy over how you missed picking up on that cue.
6. Leo (July 23 - August 22)
If you are waiting for an apology over something Leo did, you will never get it. You may get jokes and laughs and a whole lot of stuff that butters you up, but they will never say they are sorry, so it will be up to you to let it go.
Leo likes to play with your head as if your head was a cat toy. One minute they love you, and the next you're merely a game to them, something to win at. You will never feel at peace around Leo — not long-term, that's for sure. They will make you very frustrated, crazy and mostly sick to your stomach.
