The 4 Zodiac Signs That Are the Most Awkward Around Other People (and How to Fix That)

When it comes to making friends, every sign of the zodiac has some problems. Who hasn’t said something that made them cringe or stumbled through an awkward situation with friends or at a party? But four signs of the zodiac make things stranger than the rest. They make being awkward around other people seem like nothing. If you know one of these signs, you know that it makes them special. If you are one of these four signs, there are things you can do to make things easier for everyone.

Aquarius 

Even though Aquarius people are great at making connections and getting along with others on a surface level, they often find it hard to connect with others in small groups or one-on-one talks. People often describe Aquarius as quirky, caring, and visionary. These are also features that people often describe neurodiverse people as having. Aquarius people are creative and a little ahead of their time, so they don’t see the world the way other people do. But they might feel misunderstood, especially if their kind and loving side isn’t seen. Lastly, as a Fixed sign, they can feel like they don’t belong because they are stubborn and don’t follow the rules.

So, how does Aquarius get over being shy around other people? You’re great at making connections and getting people to talk to each other, but being carefully social will make you feel better. Get close to people who like your unique way of seeing the world and your daring personality. It will help you get over any social nervousness or awkwardness if you find people who share your interests and unique vision. Be kind to yourself if you say or do something that you feel is not right. Even though it’s hard, try not to think too much about other people. As an Aquarius, you are known for being kind to others, so be kind to yourself too.

Capricorn

Capricorns are shy and focused on success. It may be hard for them to find time for friends while they try to take over the world. These people work hard and are more likely to be in the library on the weekends than at a bar. Capricorns are grounded and practical, so they don’t usually do well with small talk or making friends at work events. Capricorns don’t mind being alone, but they’d rather spend their free time with a small, close-knit group of people they care about. Because they are socially awkward, they either hang out with other “nerds” or focus too much on material things.

Capricorns should know that not every conversation needs to be deep and life-changing in order to be successful in social settings. You’ll feel more at ease if you start with small things, like talking with someone new for a few minutes. If you feel socially weird because you’re worried about what other people think of you, try taking your mind off of yourself. It’s hard for you to talk about yourself because you’re naturally shy, so start by asking them something. A great way to keep the talk going is to listen actively. You might even want to tell more people about yourself! You can get over your social awkwardness by interacting with other people and being a little more open in social settings.

Scorpio

Scorpios are very emotional and sensitive because they are a Water sign. Because they are more sensitive, they can pick up on mood changes or social cues that people don’t say that others might miss. Scorpios are naturally shy and have fiery personalities, which can make them hard to understand and too excited when they’re with other people. Some people might find it too much when they keep eye contact or ask personal questions, which can lead to awkward situations for everyone. Scorpios are naturally very sensitive, so they can pick up on anything strange right away. This makes them want to hide in a dark spot and sting someone.

Scorpios are very self-aware, which can be a good thing. Let the other person know that things are getting weird. It can help a lot if you do this. Take responsibility for being weird! You are, after all, the most mysterious sign of the zodiac, and no one can deny your beauty. When you’re with other people, you’re great because you’re mysterious and interesting. Last but not least, your intense interest in other people is a strength when it comes to listening. You are better than most signs at making people feel seen and heard. Put your attention on that instead of that stupid thing you said a few minutes (or years) ago.

Virgo

Since Virgos are perfectionists, they have a hard time with social problems and will constantly berate themselves for what they see as their flaws. Because they are so hard on themselves, they think that everyone else is too, which makes them feel even worse about themselves and their abilities. With the Virgo personality trait of being too ready for everything, they often make a normal talk seem strange. These signs are in charge of “the awkward pause and stiff conversation department.” It’s not a surprise that most Virgos would rather stay home than go to another social event where they might feel uncomfortable.

Virgo, you don’t need to hide from everyone. Remember that no one expects you to be perfect. Everybody has awkward times. Instead of replaying talks and events over and over, try living in the present. People aren’t looking for flaws in you; they’re more likely to notice things they like about you. Because you’re not overthinking and trying to control the conversation when you’re with people you feel safe with, you’re more likely to start a conversation. Bring more of that energy to events with other people. You might be surprised at how much fun you have if you let go and go with the flow.
