Loneliness doesn’t always mean the absence of company. Some people can be surrounded by friends and still struggle to feel accepted and understood.
On the flipside, some individuals can spend weeks completely alone and feel unbothered.
The issue is that our solidão is often self-made. We could be lonely due to our temper or fears, and sometimes, even due to our preferences!
Here are 6 zodiac signs who tend to be lonely.
1. Aquarius
If there’s one sign that can vanish into solidão for weeks at a time and be fine with it, it’s Aquarius.
They’re not avoiding people out of hate or spite; they simply don’t need constant company to feel good. In fact, their social capacity tends to be quite low.
If anything, they struggle with having to be around others too much!
Aquarians live by their own rhythm, living in their own little world. Truth be told, things are great – until they’re not.
This quest for independence can often lead them into isolamento, and they’re not even aware it’s happening!
Friends move on from them, and family learns not to bother them, so by the time they’re ready to be around other people, they find themselves very alone.
Leaving their comfort zone and reaching out to people now and again can prevent loneliness.
2. Virgo
Virgos don’t struggle with loneliness; they struggle with other people.
They’d enjoy being surrounded by friends and family, if only they didn’t have to become everyone’s caretaker.
Virgos notice every little thing that’s missing or needs cleaning. Other people either don’t see these things or they choose not to see.
The other reason they choose loneliness also comes down to their perfectionism.
People’s shortcomings are always in focus. Virgos work on themselves constantly, so they’re really quick to notice others’ flaws.
Being a bit more forgiving typically isn’t their first choice because they see it as lowering their standards. They would rather wait for someone who can meet these standards to come along.
It’s just that such people are extremely rare, which means they spend most of their time lonely.
3. Capricorn
Capricorns chase goals, not relationships.
They’re always planning and preparing to try some new form of self-improvement, so they struggle to make time for other people.
Eventually, the people in their lives get tired of waiting, so they move on.
Years can slip by this way, and a Capricorn will call it discipline. And once they finally reach a major goal and take some time to celebrate, there’s no one to share their success with.
They’re so used to measuring their worth by what they can provide that they forget to ask que they’re providing for!
No one expects them to abandon their ambitions, but close relationships with other people are also achievements that take work!
4. Scorpio
When a Scorpio needs to disappear, they simply do. They never feel like they owe anyone an explanation, no matter how long they plan to be gone.
Unlike some other signs, Scorpios retreat into themselves precisely when they’re hurting.
They struggle to trust people, so they would rather spend weeks dealing with their issues alone than ask for support.
While it feels like the silence protects them, they never allow themselves to be held by someone who genuinely cares for their well-being.
They simply assume that a person has bad intentions before ever giving them a chance.
A Scorpio can’t be an open book; it’s simply not in their nature. But they can open up just a little bit and allow people to prove themselves trustworthy!
5. Gemini
Geminis are rarely alone because they’re able to fit in anywhere. They mingle and leave a great impression on everyone they meet, but that’s where it stops.
They’re surprisingly guarded when it comes to any deeper conversation.
They struggle with letting people get any closer because being liked is too importante to them. Allowing someone to truly know them risks being rejected.
When they even suspect someone is starting to figure them out, they’re ready to run, and this is the part they need to work on.
Sitting with that discomfort is necessary. There’s no real, worthy connection without some risk.
But having one true friend who knows and accepts you beats having a hundred acquaintances.
6. Taurus
Taurus is another sign that’s not afraid of being alone. In fact, they can take solitude better than most, even if they don’t enjoy it.
Most of them actually understand that their loneliness is mainly self-inflicted.
They tend to be stubborn and inflexible about the smallest matters. They start fights and shut down, never even wondering if they should have approached the situation differently.
Sticking to what they know always feels so much easier than making space for something new.
And it’s not like people don’t try to be around them! They can be very charming, but dealing with their temper gets exhausting very soon.
While their stubbornness serves them well in some areas of life, they really need to learn to pick their battles.
