The Zodiac Signs That Are Most Likely To Be Narcissists
Whether or not they like to admit it, all zodiac signs have their pros and cons. For instance, some zodiac signs boast the most independent energy, while some signs make the best life partners because of their loyal, caring personalities. Moreover, some zodiac signs are always ready-to-fight, and others are perfectly peaceful, avoiding confrontation at all costs. Plus, some have more narcissistic tendencies than others.
According to Merriam-Webster, a narcissistic person is excessively selfish or obsessed with how they look. You can typically expect a narcissist to put themself first no matter the situation. Furthermore, Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a condition that someone can have, making that person feel like they need more attention and care than anyone else (via Mayo Clinic), causing that person to seem like an extreme narcissist.
One example of a fictional narcissist is the beautiful and manipulative Katherine Pierce from "The Vampire Diaries." During many scenes in the show, Pierce does whatever it takes to survive and thrive, per YouTube, even if that means hurting or killing others, as she puts her life and safety above anyone else's, no matter who gets affected or destroyed in the process. So, which zodiac signs would make Pierce proud with their narcissism?
Self-involved Aries
Born between March 21 and April 19, Aries are arguably the most narcissistic zodiac sign. "They have to be self-focused to create their identity in the world or create a new world in which they can stand up, be special, and be counted. Sometimes this self-focus, however, can be taken to an extreme, resulting in an unwillingness or inability to consider the thoughts and feelings of others," Joshua MacGuire, told Bustle. That self-centered perspective makes Aries one of the most narcissistic signs of them all.
Aries is likely to have narcissistic tendencies, but that doesn't mean this sign is all bad. As mentioned earlier, every zodiac sign has its strengths and weaknesses, so while that narcissistic side is common among this zodiac sign, Aries has some excellent traits, too. According to Astrology Zodiac Signs, Aries are typically brave, daring, persistent, highly motivated, honest, and hopeful. Thus, while you might not be able to count on Aries to put you first in a zombie apocalypse, you can probably count on them to be willing to fight instead of run because of their bravery. Plus, they'll likely be the ones to hold onto hope when everyone else feels like giving up during the most stressful situations.
Attention-seeking Leo
Next on the list of zodiac signs with narcissistic traits are party-loving Leos, despite how much fun they seem. "Leos can use their natural charm and magnetism to draw others into narcissistic relationships, constantly needing more and more time, attention, and admiration," Jill Loftis, an astrologer, told BestLife. Anyone starting a relationship with someone belonging to the Leo sign should be aware of this. Leos will likely be very intriguing and fun, but don't let them use that charisma to manipulate you or cause you to give them more love and attention than they give you.
With birthdays between July 22 and August 22, Leos can be ultra-bold with a narcissistic attitude, but they have some other characteristics that are just as noteworthy as their love for attention, such as their creativity. "Being a fire sign reflects the passion that they have, which also shows through their creative expression," Imani Quinn, an astrologer and author, told POPSUGAR. And although they can be selfish, Leos are very loyal to the people they love; "... they also want to show off their loved ones with great acts of bravery," Quinn said. Therefore, as long as you don't let your Leo friends or partner manipulate you when their narcissistic sides come out, they'll likely stand by you in the relationship.
Perfectionist Virgos
People belonging to the Virgo zodiac sign are notorious perfectionists. According to AstroOK, a YouTube channel centered on astrology, that desire for perfection can cause Virgos to act super selfish, as can their refusal to admit when they're wrong. We know that Virgos are intelligent — they know it, too. So, Virgos will likely do a convincing job of hiding their narcissism at first, but don't let that Virgo cleverness trick you into letting them walk all over you or thinking it's okay for them to ignore your opinions.
While they can be narcissistic at times, Virgos can sometimes be helpful to others. Born between August 22 and September 22, Virgos are very good at finding solutions to problems, per Co-Star. Although they often use that rational gift to help themselves, they also enjoy using their problem-solving skills to help others, so Virgos aren't always narcissistic. When a Virgo helps come up with a solution to an issue in your life, be sure to thank them immediately and let them know you appreciate it to avoid letting them feel taken for granted, which could bring out their narcissistic side.
