Signs that speak their minds versus signs that avoid confrontation
Communication is very important in any relationship. Although it may seem difficult to some at first, it is often the only way to resolve conflicts, especially in love!
Some signs have no problem speaking their mind, while others block their words and feelings and run away from conflict like a snake. The latter need more time to process what they are thinking, and when things are too difficult to explain, they rather resort to silence.
Each zodiac sign deals with difficult situations differently.
Aries(March 21 – April 20)
Aries’ self-confidence is envied by many. He often uses it to his advantage when talking about a particular issue. His characteristic honesty doesn’t let him sit on the sidelines and keep quiet if he feels the need to shout, especially since impulsiveness is one of his core traits.
Although he may react this way because he is angry or nervous, he may also do it out of passion for the subject or the other person.
Taurus(April 21 – May 21)
Taurus is extremely devoted and reliable, both as a partner and as a friend. They would never say anything that would offend or cause a drastic change in the relationship, nor would they risk destabilizing a situation unless absolutely necessary.
However, he’s also stubborn and unwilling to compromise, which makes him more likely to speak his mind than other signs if he feels he needs to. His desire to protect others drives him to defend those he cares about, and if that means confrontation, he will.
Gemini(May 22 – June 21)
Geminis are pleasant people who adapt easily. Always make room for others to be heard. Although they are far from directly saying what they think, their communication skills are developed.
They will not seek a fight, but will be open to dialogue for the sake of friendship or relationship, mostly because of their fear of being alone. However, if Gemini is talking about an issue, it’s a wise decision to give them some time before compromising in a way you might regret later. They are indecisive and often their feelings are fickle.
Cancer(June 22 – July 21)
Although Cancer is not a person who seeks confrontation, he can become passive-aggressive towards the people in his life. For Cancer, speaking your mind means being persuasive or manipulative in order to get what you want and take control of the situation.
Cancer is in the middle of this list, because although they don’t often express their thoughts and feelings directly, they certainly don’t ignore problems or remain silent in the face of injustice.
Leo(July 22 – August 22)
Although Leo is not a fan of confrontations, he enjoys taking the lead in resolving conflicts. He likes to dominate less desirable situations and be in control. In short, he is a born leader.
Don’t expect him to make any compromises, though. Leo is stubborn and insists on doing everything his way.
Virgo(August 23 – September 22)
Although Virgo is extremely attentive to details, she sometimes believes that problems will be solved without having to speak. Her attention to detail makes her extremely critical of herself and her thoughts, so she usually chooses to remain silent most of the time.
The mere thought of drawing attention to her worries causes her immense anxiety. She accepts that she is not always in control and that her disappointment is inevitable in certain situations.
Libra(September 23 – October 22)
By far, Libra is the sign most prone to withdrawing into itself and not saying what it thinks. She refuses to be vocal, even if it means harboring resentment for months or years.
He dislikes confrontation and would do anything to maintain peace in all his relationships. She accepts and is aware that disappointment is inevitable at times.
Scorpio(October 23 – November 21)
Scorpio is rigid and lives to be right. It’s no surprise that he’s not afraid to speak his mind if he hears what he perceives to be misinformation.
However, he is mistrustful and jealous, which could distort the reality of the situation. While he’s not afraid to pull the brakes if needed, he’s good at doing it calmly.
Sagittarius(November 22 – December 21)
Everyone knows that Sagittarius speaks their mind, so it’s no wonder they’re the most likely to speak up when something is upsetting them. He’s impatient and won’t waste time wondering if it was a good decision to call a spade a spade.
Fortunately, you don’t have to walk on eggshells around him. He has a developed sense of humor and this makes the confrontation a little easier, and his curiosity makes him open about the discussion.

Capricorn(December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn is a kind and pessimistic person on the surface. However, he takes the desire for self-control to an extreme, which prevents him from speaking openly at times when it is necessary.
He is very self-disciplined, and his relationships are so precious that they can be an important motivator for this self-control of his. He also expects the worst from a dialogue, so he often just avoids it all.
Aquarius(January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius is intuitive and values time alone, just him with his thoughts. This does not mean that he is anti-social, as he is one of the most loyal and reliable friends you can find. The desire to help others is one of his strongest qualities.
However, he trembles at the emotional expression that prevents him from speaking his mind, even in critical situations. Any disappointment that arises from his silence is overshadowed by the relief he feels at keeping his feelings a secret.
Pisces(February 19 – March 20)
Compassion and sensitivity are natural traits of Pisces. They enjoy deep introspection and solitude, often wanting to escape reality when things are less good. This is of major importance as to why they prefer to keep quiet when opportunities arise to speak their minds. They prefer to keep everything to themselves.
Although they may not admit it, they fear the backlash of others when they express their opinions and are terrified of criticism. In short, Pisces prefers that only they know what they are thinking or feeling.
