This Is Why Your Standards Are So Low, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries: March 21st – April 19th

You mistake lust for love. When someone brings a little excitement into your life, you think that they’re enhancing your life. But when half of that excitement involves fighting at three in the morning, they’re hurting you more than helping you. Not all adventure is good adventure.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

Honestly, you just want to be loved. You don’t care who gives you attention. You just want attention. You want to feel like you matter. And when someone puts in effort to make you happy, you cling to them, no matter how wrong they are for you.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

You aren’t happy with yourself. When other people are around, you act like you have it all together, but when you’re alone, you fall apart. That’s why you settle for less than you deserve. Because you don’t realize how much you deserve.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

You get attached too easily. It doesn’t matter how poorly someone treats you, because if you’re already invested in them, you’re not going to leave them. You’re going to hold onto that relationship for dear life, despite what it will cost you.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

It’s not that you’re shallow, but you appreciate beauty. You go for guys that you find physically appealing without paying enough attention to their attitude. And that’s why you end up getting maltreated. Because their outside doesn’t match their insides.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

You’re overly critical of yourself. So when someone treats you like crap, you think that you deserved it. That you did something to cause them to act the way that they did. You always justify their bad behavior.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

You hate having arguments, so you avoid confrontations like the plague. But all that means is that you let problems go on for way too long. Instead of trying to fix issues with your partner, you’ll remain quiet and continue getting treated like crap.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

You’re stubborn. Once you fall for someone, you have no intention of letting them go. If there’s a problem, you try to solve it, no matter how much time and energy it takes. You never give up, even when it’s clear that a breakup is the healthiest option.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

You’re impatient, so you don’t want to wait for love. You want to settle down. Now. Which means you aren’t going to be picky enough. You’re going to choose the first person that comes along, even though you deserve better than them.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

You’re close with your family, but unfortunately, not everyone in your family has had a healthy marriage. That’s why your view on relationships is skewed. You have an abnormal definition of ‘normal,’ which is why you settle for less than you deserve.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

Once you get comfortable in a relationship — once you get comfortable with a person — you don’t want to leave. Even if they’re treating you terribly. Even if they’re causing you damage. You just don’t like change.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

You’re a people pleaser. You don’t mind going out of your way to make others happy, which is why you don’t even realize when you’re being taken advantage of until it’s too late. Until your heart is already broken.
