The Reason You Feel Like You Don't Fit In, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Not fitting in is a worry that everyone gets at one point or another. It's pretty natural — even it feels like you're the only one in the world who could possibly feel the way that you do. Sometimes our self-esteem just needs a little boost. Trust me ... you are SO not alone. 

We're all so afraid to stand out and be different from those around us because we don't want to feel like outcasts. No one wants to be exiled from their friends or family, and not fitting in is a really normal way to feel that.

But we are all different and unique so we're bound to stray from the norm every now and then. And that's totally okay! We live in a world where society is constantly telling us who we should be; I say just ignore them!  Don't let anyone tell you that you need to act a certain way, dress a certain way, BE a certain way — be whoever the hell you want! 

Chances are every time you feel like you don't fit in, there's a dozen other people who feel the same way. We all have our insecurities and nobody is perfect. But if you want to know just exactly what it is that makes you feel like you're not fitting in, then find your zodiac sign and let astrology help put some of those insecurities to rest. 

The stars can tell us a lot about ourselves and how we act and react in certain situations, and it helps to understand those things so we know why we feel like we don't fit in sometimes. Are you just too shy? Or maybe you're just hanging out with the wrong people. Take a peek to find out why you feel the way you do so you can get to feeling better in no time flat.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
