Least Outspoken to Most Outspoken Signs

1. Virgo

Virgos naturally don’t want to draw any attention to themselves. Even though they are intelligent and they know how to get stuff done, they’re the last to ask for recognition for their work. They’d rather stay behind the scenes and may even let someone else take the credit. They’re satisfied with simply knowing that they have done a respectable job. Virgos also tend to have a tough time asking for help. Unless you’re close to them and they’re comfortable around you, a Virgo will have a challenging time opening up to you.

2. Cancer

Cancers tend to feel insecure which explains their shyness. Despite their best efforts to look good and feel good, they just have this feeling that they’re just not enough. This makes it difficult for them to open up or speak especially amid strangers. Cancers are also suspicious of others and this further complicates their insecurities.

3. Pisces

Pisces spend more time in their head than they do out of it. They’re imaginative and they also tend to worry about a lot of things. Because of their dreamy personality, Pisceans tend to be shy and awkward. Their shyness in front of people is not because they don’t trust others. In fact, the only reason they’re not very outspoken is that they do not have enough self-trust.

4. Capricorn

Capricorns naturally enjoy their own company over interacting with others. This is why they’re often shy instead of outspoken. A Capricorn is the last person you’ll ever see causing drama or trying to attract attention. They’re the wallflower that hardly ever speaks. At work, they’ll still do the best they can do, but they’re not outspoken enough to boldly ask for a raise or anything else they want.

5. Scorpio

Scorpios are generally shy, but only in front of strangers. They don’t have any problem with opening up in front of friends and family. As long as a Scorpio is in familiar company, they’ll speak up with confidence. But in a room full of strangers, they’ll get shy and close up real quick. You’ll be surprised that such a lively person can become reclusive all of a sudden.

6. Sagittarius

Like the Scorpio, Sags are outspoken and confident around people that they know and are comfortable with. But a Sag won’t keep mute all the time. They like to make a good impression on people and this often pushes them to want to talk. Being outspoken is not something they’re used to, but Sagittarians will get out of their comfort zone and adapt just so they leave a good impression on the room.

7. Taurus

Taurus are sensitive and they make very great friends because they’re able to listen to other people’s expression of their emotions. However, they crave their comfort zones a lot. A Taurean will run away at the slightest sign of discomfort and that includes situations that make them feel shy and uneasy. They may be too shy to speak in certain situations (especially if they’re not prepared for it). But they’ll speak boldly in familiar territories or if they get enough time to prepare.

8. Libra

A Libra is a social butterfly that really loves to meet new people. When they’re out in public, they’ll usually strike up conversations about people. Despite being known as great conversationalists, Librans can get shy sometimes. They have just mastered being outgoing so much that they’ll freely express themselves without worrying about their shyness.

9. Gemini

Another social butterfly among the zodiac signs is the Gemini. They’re quite expressive and they love good conversations. They also have the mental range to keep conversations going without boring people or being bored themselves. Shyness doesn’t hold the Gemini back. In fact, it’s almost as if they never get shy thanks to their ability to adjust quickly to new environments without feeling awkward. They also have great communication skills so they’ll ace any interview and they’re unfazed by public speaking engagements.

10. Aquarius

Friendly Aquarius is warm with everyone and is always on the lookout for new conversations. They find new conversations very stimulating and enlightening. Aquarians are often considered the rebels in the zodiac world. They don’t mind going against the status quo and they’re quite outspoken about their opinions even if it differs from that of everyone else.

11. Aries

Aries thrive very well in social situations. They’re naturally confident and they hardly ever get tongue-tied. For this air sign, most of their life revolves around having fun and spending time with other people. To thrive in situations like this, they need to be courageous and confident and this comes naturally to them. Aries has several opinions and they’re never scared of making their opinions known. They have a reputation for being extremely vocal and they can’t be intimidated into silence.

12. Leo

Leos live for the spotlight, so it’s only natural that they’re bold and outspoken. They love being the center of attention in any group and they make friends easily. This zodiac sign is known for creativity and leadership. In an office meeting, everyone turns to Leo to hear their opinions, and they’ll always have something to say.

Conclusion

As an individual, you’ll always find yourself in situations that require you to speak up to add your opinions to a conversation or to simply advise someone. The probability that you’ll actually speak up in such a situation depends a lot on how outspoken you are and this can be tied to your zodiac sign.
