6 Zodiac Signs With The Biggest Trust Issues
They do not open their hearts easily.
getty One thing we can probably all admit: it's hard to trust people. We come into this world innocent and willing to learn all the wondrous things there are to learn, and then we experience our first betrayal or our first out right lie.
That's the stuff the corrupts us, takes us away from our innocence. The end of innocence begins with the first lie. No wonder there are so many zodiac signs with trust issues in astrology.
We are taught to trust, to look for help, to ask for assistance. We are taught from childhood that life is good and that we should see the goodness in others, and trust that the goodness is viable and lasting, which, of course, it isn't.
Life is a series of events that take a person from completely and most innocently trustworthy to jaded, experienced, closed off and isolated. Trust is everything we want to feel when we are around others, and when it's over, all of it is over — the joy, the enthusiasm, the interest. Losing trust in someone you once trusted is a hardcore experience that leaves one icy cold.
Some of us are born untrustworthy. And some of us are born instinctively knowing that trust will be hard to find in this world. And, often times, both traits can be found in the same person. Who among the zodiac signs has the biggest trust issues?
1. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo comes into the world as a harsh judge. It never changes and sometimes it becomes perfectly obvious why Virgos choose such a cold path: they feel less pain when they trust less!
And while the rest of us humans sneer and smirk over Virgo's apparent lack of faith in us, this zodiac sign happily walks away from situations and people they do not trust.
2. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
When you think with two personalities, as is the way of Gemini, you get a good perspective of what you can trust, and what you must lay by the side of the road. Gemini wants to trust, but experience has formed their sense of what to expect in a person, and usually, it's not very nice.
Gemini doesn't trust much, and they rationalize this feeling by thinking themselves "cautious."
3. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
The big old idiot named Sagittarius is the most naive of the signs. And so, because they are gluttons for punishment, they keep forgetting to take a half a second before trusting everyone that walks into their vision.
The problem is that eventually, Sagittarius does catch on, and they do get hurt; in fact, they hurt so totally and so irrevocably that they end up the number one sign to have the biggest trust issues out there.
4. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
As it is with the fire signs, they are passionate and fiery, and that goes straight to the heart with Leo. Leo cannot be betrayed; they cannot be fooled and they cannot stand the idea of another person breaking their sacred trust.
So, when this inevitably happens again, Leo builds their protective walls up even higher, figuring if anyone can protect them from the horrors of this untrusting world, they might as well do it themselves.
5. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
When you're an Aries, you have a lot on your mind — and that means you are more than likely overthinking just about everything. When you overthink, you come up with a million paranoid scenarios — all of them meant to hurt you.
Aries is analytical; they see a set of variables and they know in their hearts that most of those variables cannot be trusted.
6. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
This sign wants order, perfection and excellence. In order to gain this status, Scorpio must vet everyone they know, and in doing so, they usually find out that this person and that person need to go.
And why? Because Scorpio has decided they can't be trusted, and when that happens, you are ejected. Like a 1960s cartoon where the passenger is ejected from their seat, mid-ride — that's how Scorpio gets rid of you once they've deemed you untrustworthy: quickly.
