If your birthday comes between November 22 to December 21, your zodiac sign is Sagittarius. Sagis are very independent, free-spirited, and optimistic people who are known for their joie de vivre. But they can also be a little self-righteous at times. They also have some major commitment issues. They are great fun to be around as they love adventure. Despite their many good qualities, they also have some faults, which must be kept in mind. In this article, we reveal 6 negative traits of Sagittarians that tend to make their relationships fraught with complications at times.
They can be clumsy
Sagittarians can be really clumsy sometimes. The clumsiness is not limited to physical things like dropping or breaking stuff accidentally. It also has to do with their social interactions. For instance, they might announce loudly that you have piled on the kilos since they met you last, or that you have lost all your hair or worse. Or they could ask you about your impending divorce, which was not meant to be public information yet. Some would call it foot-in-mouth syndrome. Whatever the faux pas, it can catch you off guard and lead to some pretty awkward or tense situations. Worse, they seem to be quite oblivious to the gaffe too. It is better to avoid them when they act in this way, or you can find yourself wishing that you were invisible.
They are emotionally distant
Highly independent, Sagittarians can put their own needs first. Don’t expect that you will be a top priority for them. They can be supportive, but they may not always be very understanding of your feelings. They can turn off their emotions, which makes them appear to be totally devoid of empathy at times. For instance, your beloved pet dog may have died, and you need some words of sympathy and consolation. But Sagi might prefer to point out that, hey, the mutt was old enough anyway, and it would make more sense to quite the grieving and get yourself a new puppy. Not exactly the words or sentiments you were hoping to hear.
They can be egotistical
All fire signs are blessed with a strong ego. Granted that they are quite intelligent and dynamic. But when they act like they are more intelligent than others, it can grate on your nerves. Modesty is not a virtue for the Sagittarian-born. They love to blow their own trumpet. They also like to appear larger than life before others. They do possess good knowledge about many things. But when they parade this knowledge before others in an arrogant manner, it is not a pretty sight. It doesn’t bother them that people can feel hurt and humiliated by such behavior.
They exaggerate
Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius. It is the planet of growth and expansion. Those who are born under this sign, therefore, have a tendency to exaggerate things. It was probably a Sagittarian who invented the tall tale. They will embellish a plain story with interesting details, never mind if some of the details are fictitious, or they may take a small dispute and blow it out of all proportion, and so on. And when they are exposed in their lies or exaggerations, they are quite unapologetic about it, too. Which is quite annoying if you are a stickler for truth.
They can be critical
They can be very critical when they think that you fail to measure up to their standards. Many Sagis are quite snobbish, though they will never admit it. If you are sensitive and lack sufficient self-esteem, you may find their remarks quite cutting. As they lack real empathy and are unable to process emotions the way Water signs do, they will not realize the impact of their words on others. This adds insult to injury. So, if you don’t have a tough hide or enough ammo to return their fire, beat a hasty retreat and lick your wounds in private.
They don’t care about social conventions
Sagittarius can be very contemptuous about things that don’t excite them. They will never try to please others, as they think that it is demeaning to their ego. They do what they please, and the world be damned. They will take what they want from others and life, and if other people don’t approve, it’s their problem, not the Sagi’s. Most of us may chafe at the restrictions that society imposes on us, but we may not transgress them for fear of the consequences. Sagittarians have no such fears. They don’t care much about laws and rules, especially those that are in conflict with their own desires and needs. This can create instability and insecurities in their relationships. So, if you prefer to live by established social codes, you may want to keep your distance from Sagittarians.
Now that you know the 6 negative traits of Sagittarians, you will be better equipped to deal with them. And if you are a Sagi yourself, you can try to overcome these traits and become a better person.
