<\/div>\n

In a perfect world, everyone would be happy, no one would suffer, the weather would always be sunny, and people wouldn\u2019t do stupid, self-defeating things that wind up biting them in the butt cheeks.<\/p>\n

Alas, we don\u2019t live in a perfect world. Sometimes it feels as if the very forces of nature are stacked against us. Even worse, sometimes WE sabotage our own lives in ways that our bitterest enemies could only dream of doing.<\/p>\n

No zodiac sign is immune from self-sabotaging behavior. Here are the specific ways in which each sign winds up acting like their own worst enemy.<\/p>\n

Aries<\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t admit when you\u2019re wrong. Sure, you\u2019re a great and much-admired person. And nine times out of ten, you\u2019re right. Make that eight times out of ten. It\u2019s more like seven times out of ten, but who\u2019s counting? But you can be a bit of a cocky ass. Your ego is through the roof, and you feel like it\u2019d be humiliating and devastating to ever admit, \u201cWell, yeah, I messed up.\u201d You feel it would make you look vulnerable, weak, and even a little bit foolish. But face it\u2014you look a hundred times more foolish when you, and everyone around you, knows you made a mistake but can\u2019t admit it. Your biggest mistake of all is being unable to admit you make mistakes. Just relax and take the \u201cL\u201d every so often. You\u2019ll feel better about yourself when you admit you\u2019re not perfect\u2014and people will like you more, too.<\/p>\n

Taurus<\/h2>\n

You procrastinate way too much. You\u2019ve convinced yourself that because you perform best under pressure, the smart thing is to wait until the last minute to get anything done. But this often means that you wind up doing things in a half-assed manner\u2014or sometimes, with no \u201cass\u201d at all. Sometimes you avoid doing things until it\u2019s too late. You let things pile up\u2014all those unpaid bills. All those unwashed dishes. All those tasks are on your \u201cTo Do\u201d lists. You misplaced your most recent \u201cTo Do\u201d list and haven\u2019t gotten around to writing a new one. It all leads to extra anxiety that immobilizes you, because you know you can never catch up. The person who hesitates is lost\u2014it\u2019s time to find your way.<\/p>\n

Gemini<\/h2>\n

You are WAY too obsessed with what others are doing wrong. Now, don\u2019t misunderstand me\u2014you\u2019re almost always right when you analyze and criticize the mistakes that others are making. You\u2019re entirely on the mark, and the targets of your criticism do well to listen to you. But here\u2019s the problem\u2014you do it because it\u2019s a way to divert attention from your problems. At the end of the day, we can\u2019t change others; we only have the power to change ourselves. And even if you were able to change others, how would it benefit you besides the empty satisfaction of being right? Take a look at yourself in the mirror. Fix what\u2019s wrong with you. As the great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy said, \u201cEveryone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cancer<\/h2>\n

You are too nice to those who don\u2019t deserve it. Part of your nature as a water sign is to be empathic and kind, so you give others the benefit of the doubt and help those who are in need. The problem is that some people need to be doubted, while others are always in need because they exploit the kindness of others. You are what used to be known as a \u201cbleeding heart,\u201d but you will eventually bleed yourself dry if you don\u2019t practice a little discretion and follow your instincts when you sense someone is taking advantage of your kindness. The hardest but most valuable lesson you can learn is that it\u2019s often a mistake to be too nice to people. It can even be fatal.<\/p>\n

Leo<\/h2>\n

You are way too arrogant and egotistical for your own good. It\u2019s good to have self-esteem, but not so much that it makes others despise you. People tend to dislike pretty girls who can\u2019t shut the hell up about how beautiful they are. People admire rich men, but not those who are always flaunting their wealth and belittling others who aren\u2019t as fortunate. There\u2019s nothing wrong with being a good person unless you feel some neurotic need to keep declaring how good you are. In the end, it\u2019s all read as a sign of insecurity, and people will flee from your massive ego because it crowds out and smothers everyone else in the room. Here\u2019s the trick\u2014let others compliment you.<\/p>\n

Virgo<\/h2>\n

You are too critical of yourself. Unlike Aries and Leo (who think too highly of themselves), and in stark opposition to Gemini (who is too critical of others as a way to avoid honest self-reflection), you blame yourself not only for your problems but for things that are way out of your control. When you learn that an injustice occurred halfway around the world, you kick yourself for not being more active politically. If you come down with a sore throat, you feel guilty that you didn\u2019t take enough Vitamin C. If someone acts like a complete ass toward you, you\u2019ll assume it\u2019s something that you did to provoke them rather than consider the possibility that maybe they\u2019re just an asshole. You are your harshest critic, and it\u2019s the biggest impediment to your happiness.<\/p>
