While most of us are ambiverts, there are five more introverted zodiac signs who thrive in solitude and would rather just be left alone most of the time.
No, they’re not trying to be cruel by ignoring your message. These astrological signs simply need more time to decompress and process their thoughts. So, if you’re any of these five signs, don’t feel too bad. While some might’ve called you cold or detached, you simply enjoy a little extra solitude and actually thrive when you get to spend enough time alone.
1. Scorpio

To be honest, Scorpio, you're pretty easily annoyed. Known as the most mysterious zodiac sign of the bunch, you would rather just be left alone most of the time so you don't have to share information with anyone else or worse, have to deal with others' antics, as astrologer Atheana Ritchie explained.
If you aren’t ready to come out of your shell, then people should leave you alone. While it may sound cruel, if there’s one thing you’re going to do, it’s protect your inner peace at all costs.
2. Virgo

Virgo, if there’s one thing you love, it’s to be left alone. Not to be rude, of course, but because you’re so logical, it’s easy for you to get frustrated with everyone’s nonsense. As Ritchie said, you "need time to process stupidity and audacity.”
From friends making rash decisions to partners refusing to follow your advice, you’re easily annoyed and put on edge. This is why you’d prefer if people left you alone most of the time.
3. Capricorn

Capricorn, you thrive in solitude because it means you don't have to deal with other people’s emotions. People may call you cold-hearted, but as Ritchie explained, “Emotions are messy and unnecessary and get in the way of what they’re trying to do."
Too busy with your own life and responsibilities, you don’t have time to nurse other people’s feelings. And nine times out of ten, what you’re trying to do doesn’t involve other people.
4. Aquarius

Aquarius, if there’s one thing you love to do, it’s think. From random what-if scenarios to historical facts, you’re usually caught up in your own little world, and you don’t have time for daydreaming or deep thinking when other people are around you.
Since others aren’t as curious as you are, it’s easy for people to brush off your questions or thoughts. This is why you’d rather spend time in solitude. While you could worry about weirding others out with your questions, you’d much rather think in private without the added stress.
5. Pisces

You're extremely empathetic, Pisces, and easily take on other people's emotions. Sometimes you don’t have the energy to deal with the negative energy that others are carrying, so you usually prefer to be alone.
Highly sensitive people like you need to spend more time by themselves.
“They can be with themselves and have inner conversations and deep thoughts,” psychologist Chivonna Childs, PhD. explained to the Cleveland Clinic. “They can think for hours on end and be OK with that.”
This is why you’d rather spend time decompressing. You love alone time because it allows you to be yourself with zero restrictions or worry in the world.
