Here are the top 5 zodiac signs that experience self-doubt.

These signs are probably going to engage in narcissistic self-reflection and doubt their capabilities more than others. Internal doubts are something that these signs often struggle with, either because of their sensitive nature, a desire for perfectness, or a fear of being judged. Below are the top five zodiac signs that are most likely to deal with self-doubt and the reasons why they feel it.

Virgo

In the rank of self-doubt, Virgo takes the top position. Besides being a little analytical and very detailed, Virgo is ruled by Mercury-the planet of communication and intellect. At the same time, though, the ability to analyse everything frequently goes in the other direction and causes Virgo to become their worse critic.

Since they have this penchant for excellence, Virgos are always on the lookout for ways of self-improvement. There’s a propensity toward huge self-doubt if they somehow fall short of standards they place upon themselves. The shortfall may be minimal, but no matter how minimal it may be, this perceived inadequacy may lead them to question their own worth, even in the opinion of others who see them as being very competent, because of their penchant for perfection.

Cancer

Cancer is a highly emotional and perceptive sign under the influence of the Moon. Self-doubt can be an aftermath of their empathy and sensitiveness, which are just so good qualities to have. Persons with Cancer are seen to be worrying deep inside about the other people’s thoughts, and the fear of being judged or rejected could make them question their feelings.

They tend to overanalyse things because, for their emotional nature, which eventually throws them into insecurity emotions. While on the surface having it all together, Cancers may still catch themselves second-guessing and dreading the way people would have said or thought had they known what was going on in their lives. In order for them to be able to battle their doubts, they oftentimes need assurance from loved ones.

Pisces

Everyone born under the sign of Pisces – how many are afraid of themselves and their own weaknesses? Nobody is more intuitive than Pisces, but they hardly ever believe in their own judgments. They are, after all dominated by Neptune – the planet of dreams and illusions.

They are sensitive and tend to be empathic, making them prone to absorbing negative energy from others. They usually question their ability to handle tangible problems that make them doubt their ability in the real world. They would rather escape into their dreams or fantasy if confronted by situations that douse their confidence.

Libra

Libra, being the significator of Venus, highly considers the feeling of harmony and balance in all of their relationships and life. They are always persistent to measure decisions against the impressions of others rather than to act on good judgment despite the fact that they are very diplomatic and fair which ends them up confused and full of self-doubt.

Often, a wrong decision by Libras causes more fear because it is apt to disturb peace guarded jealously. In fact, the Libran will likely begin to question his judgment frequently, based upon the fear of fights and mistakes. Libras tend to freeze in indecision due to the fear of pleasing others, even if they have a very strong intuition.

Capricorn

As much as people commonly view Capricorn as ambitious and hard-working, you will find it in the least expected list. Nonetheless, they will fear miserably to fail. The confidence that lies beneath their rough exterior is just behind the dread of all the failures they will make. Capricorns have rather extremely high expectations of themselves because Saturn, the planet that brings about discipline and duty, is their ruler.

Especially when they believe that they are not fulfilling the expectations set in their minds, a perpetual feeling of self-doubt may emanate from their need to excel and prove themselves. While for others, they are doing marvelously well, Capricorns generally feel inadequate for they are notorious for being overcritical of themselves.

Maybe the attributes are very common among these five zodiac signs, but probably not as much as some others have; the good news is that it might be overcome. All of these signs may be recognized and focus on practicing self-compassion on a regular basis to achieve the quieting of those pesky inner critics.
