our hidden insecurities

i ran into some things about myself. I just wanted to see if there are more out there like me— aries are suppose to be super confident, which I am, but I am also very insecure. Partly I think that it has a lot to do with my virgo moon and virgo rising.. I over analze everything. Thus I make my self insecure about things that go on in my life. Things that I shouldnt be doing. freaking sucks. help

i have a strong 1st house, and have an aries sister, and have had many aries /mars influenced gfs /colleagues in the past. There's a battle between competition, strength and being cuddly sweet and just being passively happy. My sister has dominant 60% and it's mostly in pisces, and she's super sensitive and sweet. But oh boy, she has some power house strength too. Perhaps everything in her chart makes that powerhouse.

There's a side where you feel very confident but then you want to back down and just HIDE.
I'm happy and confident inside deep down. I just dont want to show it to the world, because it feels fake. And there's many things in the world that can also make you feel scared and sad. that in itself makes you (general) feel tiny and not of any significance in this world.

When i feel that insignificance, i feel extremely humbled and ironically super happy. The IRONY is bliss to me.

I see what you are saying. I feel confident alot of the time, it is just when I second guess myself, and I shouldn't. Its neither here nor there for me, my confidence. in fact, to me, confidence isn't meaning I am right all the time, but being strong enough to admit to being wrong. Humility isn't the easiest of pills to swallow for aries, but it is beautiful

Some of the most vulnerable people that i have met in my life have been Aries. I am always taken by surprise that the outer persona is so different to the inner core of the person

Most Aries men that i have met have suffered from depression and self esteem problems and find emotional connection very difficult, they are fantastic at business, sport etc but when it comes to giving themselves on a deeper level they struggle ~~ sadly

😢

that is very sad.

This is why i feel they need that "exterior" extrovert energy feeling. Why the Fire (ego is so strong in Aries) feeds on these goals, to achieve the best at everything (this is general), to get there faster and quicker. They feel a sense of achievement. In the end,it's empty if it's not filled to the rim every so often. It must be replenished to keep filling the cup of energy.

Yes absolutely. Sometimes I feel like I am two different people, switching from externally being super confident to internally being super worried. For me, sometimes I don't feel like I'm good enough for something, like a job at work, or someone like a guy or a friend, but I use these feelings to push on and improve. Because I never feel "good enough" that always spurs me on to do better. I'm also excellent at articulating my feelings in words, but never ever to someones face, - it makes me feel vulnerable so its easier to hide behind the words, but the words are truthful.
