4 Zodiacs Whose Real Personality Differs From The Mask They Wear
VIRGO
Virgo is always clad in flawless armor when they go out into the world. They have no weak points. You can’t get through their tough skin no matter how hard you try. But at home, when no one is looking, no one demolishes their self-esteem like they do. They push themselves so hard because they are so afraid of failure, of embarrassment, of anyone looking down on them whether in disappointment or while gloating. They have intensely fragile interiors they guard in a never-ending effort to avoid their greatest fears, and the largest lift is the mental load of constantly worrying or proactively avoiding any potential pitfalls. Beneath the mask of complete self command is a very human individual struggling just like the rest of us.
SAGITTARIUS
Sagittarius plays the role of the class clown, the happy-go-lucky golden retriever without a care in the world. They’re down for any invitation you throw their way, even if that means packing a suitcase to catch an impromptu flight the same day. But underneath all that ‘go-with-the-flow’ demeanor lies a very serious individual who is constantly at war with their own habit of overthinking every move they make. What people mistake for ‘not caring’ is a person who cares so much, they often encounter the futility of their own caring. They would rather present a front to the world than wear their emotional baggage on their sleeves, worrying it would be ‘too much’ for everyone, since it often feels that way to them.
GEMINI
When everyone is watching, Gemini is the one that is always buttoned up, the one with superhuman organization and perseverance, but whenever they find themselves a moment alone, all they feel is an overwhelming sloth and laziness they find impossible to overcome. They neglect many of their own needs and personal responsibilities for the sake of completing favors for others. They’ll never miss a deadline, but go years without fitting in a dentist appointment, because there’s just no time left in the day for them. They feel like such a fraud and failure because no one would ever suspect the degree of disarray their own affairs are in, but it all just gets swept under the rug of perfection and overachievement their reputation depends upon.
LEO
Leo is a friend to everyone, in their eyes at least, but on the inside they can’t help feeling annoyance and exhaustion in the face of some of their social interactions. They want to be as genuine as they are likable, but they often can’t match their inner emotions exactly to their outside behavior. They deeply, deeply believe that everyone deserves to be included and treated with kindness, but they struggle to feel it in their bones everyday with every single person. They torture themselves with guilt every time they want to blow off plans, or not respond to a text. They want so desperately to be the saintly personas everyone believes them to be, but on the inside they’re only human.
