What You'll NEVER Admit To Yourself, According To Your Zodiac Sign
Just be honest with yourself, you can take it.
Viacheslav Boiko/Shutter Stock No matter how self-aware you are, you probably still have some personality traits or behaviors that you ignore. It’s natural; some things are too painful to deal with so we just hide them somewhere in our psyche and hope that they’ll go away or remain dormant and not cause any trouble for us.
But when you don’t deal with something — whether it’s a parking ticket or something negative about ourselves — it tends to not go away and grows larger until we’re forced to deal with it head-on or stand by while it damages (sometimes in small ways) our lives.
For example, let’s say you have a phobia but instead of seeking treatment, you just try to live your life without having to come into contact with the cause of your phobia. You start to spend your time planning on ways to avoid the phobia, which then leads to anxiety, which then leads to narrowing your world, and suddenly one little phobia morphed into more and you don’t want to leave your house out of fear.
Perhaps you think of yourself as an extrovert but notice that you prefer to stay home watching Netflix than socializing, but instead of being honest with yourself about what you want, you force yourself to go to the party, or you make up an excuse as to why you can’t go and end up annoying the hosts.
All of us are flawed individuals but those weaknesses and imperfections make us interesting and human. It’s much better to be truthful and it makes things easier to accept and love yourself. The truth is, acknowledging those things about yourself that you’d rather not see helps you to heal.
Our flaws can be blinding to others and yet we still can refuse to see them. Astrology can help us to be honest and accept our true selves. What are you most likely trying to hide from yourself, based on your zodiac sign?

You're very proud of how you're able to easily access your emotions, but what you're failing to see is that it's a little too easily. It's wonderful to be sensitive to others, but you're quick to take offense or feel hurt when someone says something that isn't full-on praise. You need to recognize that you are wound-up easily and that toughening up a little wouldn't be a bad thing.

You refuse to see that you're very high-maintenance or, if you do know, you think you're worth any inconvenience you may be to others. You can be incredibly draining when you're not getting the right amount of praise and attention. Try not to rely on others to make you feel good about yourself — they're your friends, not the King's court of flatterers.

The ugly truth that you refuse to acknowledge about yourself is that you're too picky. The standards that you pride yourself on having are sky high and it's almost impossible for anyone or anything to reach them. You're a perfectionist and hypercritical of yourself and others, but if you would just loosen up, you'd see that it's those very perfections that make people (yourself included) fascinating. Work towards becoming more realistic about what you want.

You refuse to think of it as a problem, but you hold on to grudges in a scary, intense way. The longer you hold on to a grudge, the higher the chances will be that you'll be seeking revenge for something as innocuous as not inviting you to a party.

You're extremely fun to be around, but what that charming, funny you is hiding from yourself is that you can be mind-numbingly thoughtless. If you need to get out of town because the walls feel as if they're closing in, you don't give anyone else a thought, nor do you consider if now is the best time for your spontaneous trip. You don't exist in a vacuum; your actions and thoughts have consequences, so be sure to look at the big picture before you book your next flight.

The dirty secret you're keeping from yourself is that you get taken advantage of by other people. You're selfless to the extreme and somewhat gullible that you're an easy mark.
