Surely at some point in your life, it has happened to you that you had been talking to someone for a long time, but you were afraid of taking the next step. You were afraid to propose a plan together, tell him to go further with the relationship, or even be direct with your feelings. There are many reasons why you are afraid to take that first step. The fear of rejection, ridicule, exposing your emotions… There are many signs of the Zodiac that are totally petrified when they think of having to take that step. Others are perhaps less afraid but still give them respect. Keep reading to find out why you are afraid of taking the first step according to your sign :
Aries
You have no problem confessing your feelings when it comes to something like that, Aries. You are sure what you feel and you go all the way with it. What happens is that you are very afraid of feeling rejected by the other person. In the past, you used to express your feelings without thinking about the other person’s. You released yours and that’s it.
Over time, you have realized that not everyone feels the same as you and that has hurt you a lot. Now, you are afraid to take the first step because you are not willing to listen and this person does not feel the same as you. Even if you are sure of what your feelings are, you prefer to wait a little longer to see what the other person is feeling. You can’t risk asking the other person out and telling you no…
Taurus
You are known for your lack of initiative, Taurus. You are very afraid of taking the initiative in anything. Not only in your relationships but also in your day to day. When you like someone, something inside you freaks out just thinking about asking them out. It is something that happens more often than you would like. It is difficult for you to trust the other person but also yourself.
Before that, you need to make sure what your feelings are. The simple idea that the other person can tell you no already traumatizes you, Taurus. You can be a very secure person for some things, but for topics like these, insecurity kills you. You are more of waiting for the other person to take the first step and thus not jeopardize your reputation.
Gemini
You can be very sociable, Gemini, but when your feelings are involved, things change. You have no problem meeting face to face to talk to that person, asking them out, and making plans “as friends”. The problem comes when it’s time to confess how much you like that person. You are very indecisive with your feelings. It is difficult for you to clarify if what you feel is real or just a whim of the moment.
For you, Gemini, it is a great challenge to be sure of what you feel and that it lasts over time. You are a very changeable person, and so are you with your feelings. You are very given to a person you like a lot today and tomorrow you forget about her. And that’s why you’re afraid to take the first step because you don’t know if your feelings are going to be the same today as tomorrow.
Cancer
When it comes to love, Cancer, you are quite a shy person. You are terribly afraid of rejection in these kinds of situations. You will go out of your way to avoid making the first move when you like someone. There are even moments when you will die wanting to tell that person everything you feel for them, to throw yourself into their arms, but you use your willpower not to end up doing it.
You are very overwhelmed by your own insecurities, even your past experiences. Between the fact that you are afraid of rejection and that you have already suffered a lot for love, you never end up throwing yourself. You can’t deal with yet another rejection, Cancer. You are not going to let someone break your heart again and therefore, you prefer to wait for the other person to launch.
Leo
No one says no to you, Leo. You are used to always getting your way, to being the one who wins. For this reason, you are afraid to take the first step because there is a probability, even if it is almost minimal, that they will say no. You wouldn’t even know how to react to such a response. You know that you would be capable of making a very big drama in such a situation. Your pride would be too hurt and you wouldn’t even know how to go towards that person from now on.
You are a person who, when he is clear about what he feels, goes straight for it, Leo. When you like someone, you don’t stop until that person falls in love with you. But you also have your fears. It would be very difficult to face a rejection of this style. You prefer to keep your pride and ego safe and sound.
Virgo
In everything that has to do with your feelings, Virgo, you are a rather shy person. You hate being the center of attention in those cases. And that’s what makes you afraid of taking the first step… Doing so means being the attention of the moment and it makes you very nervous. Also, you are too critical of yourself and you will go crazy trying to find the perfect way to confess all your feelings.
You are afraid of things going wrong, of not living up to them, of disappointing the other person. You don’t want the smallest detail to spoil everything. For you, Virgo, disappointment is unforgivable. Not only a disappointment to others but also it is unforgivable to disappoint yourself. Therefore, you prefer to wait and convince yourself not to confess what you feel.
Libra
You don’t want to waste time with nonsense, Libra. When you like someone, you want that person to be the one you spend the rest of your life with. One of your dreams is to find a partner who is 100% compatible with you, someone who exceeds the level of your expectations. Many times, perhaps you feel that you are going too fast and that is why you are afraid to take the first step. You don’t want to scare the other person away because of your impatience.
You’re also a bit afraid of rejection, to be honest, Libra. You are afraid of realizing that you have wasted your valuable time with someone who did not feel the same way about you. You don’t want to take the first step just in case you run into such a situation. You are willing to wait until you are sure that this person really is your soul mate.
Scorpio
Although you are quite a flirtatious and passionate person, it is very difficult for you to take the first step. You are someone very sensitive. As a good water sign, you feel things twice as much as others and the simple idea of thinking that they are going to say no to you hurts a lot. You know yourself well enough to know that if you are rejected, you will be unable to forgive that person.
You are like that and you will never change Scorpio. You are afraid of taking the first step, not finding the answer you were looking for, and bringing your dark side to light. You know how far you can go and that’s why you don’t want something like this to happen. You just prefer to wait and let the other person ask you.
Sagittarius
You are always from here to there, Sagittarius. It is very difficult for you to really like a person. You don’t usually commit to anyone and your feelings are not usually stable. It takes you a long time to make sure if you really like that person or if it is a whim of the moment. That is why you are afraid to take the first step, because before you prefer to wait to be sure of what you feel.
In addition, it is very difficult for you to find a person who can keep up with you. In love, you need someone to provide you with stability but at the same time adrenaline. And the truth is, you don’t want to take the first step and then find that person is not up to what you ask for. You are afraid to declare yourself and that in the end things will not be as you imagined.
Capricorn
You are one of those who always expect no answer. You put yourself in the worst all the time and that’s why you’re such a cautious person. You don’t like failing others, nor do you like failing yourself. That’s why you’re afraid to take the first step. Because you can find an answer you didn’t expect and fail yourself for not having been able to foresee this before.
You are a very planner and perfectionist person. Everything has to have an order and a meaning. You prefer to wait to take that step when you are sure of your feelings and when you have perfectly planned what your strategy will be. You demand a lot from yourself and you also demand a lot from others, Capricorn, and that is why you are afraid to take the first step.
Aquarius
You run away from everything that has to do with exposing your feelings, Aquarius. You are super shy when it comes to talking about your things and that is why you are afraid of taking the first step. Giving it means confessing that you feel something for that person and that scares you a lot. Many times, when you like someone, you get frustrated because you don’t know how to express it, you know how to show the other person how you feel about them.
Your insecurities come to light when you have to take the first step. You don’t feel safe enough to do it. You are not prepared to face such emotional rejection. You’re afraid because you think you won’t know how to communicate well and you don’t want that to take you away from that person.
Pisces
You have too high expectations in love, Pisces. You are looking for a person who will be your soul mate for life. That is why you are afraid to take the first step and ask the other person out… Because in the event that they say no and they reject you, you will realize that you have made a mistake, that you have been excited about a person who really is not the one.
You fight hard to make those expectations come true. You want to take the first step, but you will do it when you really have everything ready. You want it to be perfect and you don’t want everything to be ruined by your impulses. You are afraid of taking the first step and disappointing yourself.
