Gemini Negative Traits – The Bad Traits of Gemini Explained
Before we go over the negative traits of Gemini, let’s take a refresher course on the sign. Going over their background this way, we better understand who they are. And their bad traits become easier for us to discern and dissect. So let’s go over this quirky starchild together, dear reader. Let’s go over the third sign of the zodiac – Gemini.
Gemini is an air sign, having the symbol of ‘the twins’ that carries a powerful insight into their nature. This sign governs the period from about May 21 to June 21, occupying the third seat in the zodiac. Mercury is its planetary ruler, making it an excellent communicator, curious and adaptable. Combined with its air element, this sign is a carefree, quirky and excitable (almost chaotic) personality.
When we talk about each of the Gemini bad traits, keep in mind that their greatest weaknesses come from their duality and chaotic nature. As we hinted at above, Gemini’s symbol is a key insight into their greatest flaw: duality. It is Gemini’s nature to contradict others, truth – even themselves. Of course, it doesn’t help that the fast and flighty Mercurial air sign would rather escape the consequences of their own actions. This is a sign that causes trouble for everyone around them and then refuses to make amends!
Of course, we didn’t make this list to make fun of them. We’re hoping that by becoming more aware of their faults, Gemini can try to improve. After all, you can grow past your own limitations. And the limitations of your sign. That said, here are all the specific Gemini bad traits, below:
Unpredictable
As we said above, Gemini is an inconsistent creature. They can never stay true or commit to anything for too long. Trying to hold them down results in them leaving – and you never quite know what they’ll do next. Of course, this makes it difficult for people to trust them. Gemini will never take accountability for or own up to anything they do.
Spontaneous and restless, Gemini has the tendency to hop from one thing to the other. At one moment, they may obsess over a hobby, but then suddenly abandon the task out of nowhere. This makes them extremely unpredictable, considering there’s no rhyme or reason behind their action. Rather, a randomness of impulsive interests for the sign. Gemini can never stay in one place!
Anxious
The Gemini enjoys new challenges and often finds themselves taking more responsibility than they’re able to handle. This tendency causes them a lot of anxiety. A lot of this strain comes mainly from the burden of mismanaging life events and facing the consequences of their lack of forethought. Oftentimes, this prevents them from performing at their best.
Greatness is within your grasp dear Gemini, if you learn to manage your anxiety. Avoid your anxiety by not biting more than you can chew. Start by planning your schedule well and don’t overcommit. Always make room for rest and down time to avoid burn outs. So you can continue to do more than what’s expected of you.
Rash and Reckless
Laid back and adaptable, Gemini tends to be quick on their feet. Responding on the fly, they have the tendency to not think too deeply about their actions and its consequences. This tends to make Gemini an impulsive creature. And on the fly, they may even find themselves changing their minds at the drop of the hat as circumstances change.
Bravery and stupidity often has a fine line. Taking a leap of faith is certainly something we encourage. But take care, dear reader, not to enter into things without thought. You don’t have to experience something to know that it’s a bad idea. Some things you’re better of not experiencing, to avoid further damage to your inner peace and happiness.
Dishonest
Their rash nature not only encompases their actions but also their words. You may oftentimes find the Gemini altering narratives or packaging stories in a way that’s unique to each listener. The Gemini will often find the versions of the truth to be a mere alternative. However, more often than not, this will cause confusion and conflicting narratives.
Among the Gemini bad traits, this one is the most famous. The twins that symbolize Gemini are often related to a ‘two-faced’ nature. While Gemini certainly has a habit of twisting the truth – they’re not always flat out liars. They just like to stretch the facts to make them more interesting. Or they avoid responsibility by omitting certain details.
Nosy
Curious creatures, they tend to not keep their hands to themselves. Gemini’s love to meedle in other peoples affairs. This can result to more trouble for the Gemini, especially when they end up saying more than they should. Additionally, it gets them into conflicts with others when their meddling is less than appreciated.
Make no mistake Gemini, not everyone that listens cares. Take care and exercise caution in what you tell others. Sometimes it’s better to say less rather than overshare. The more we say, the higher the chance is that we may misspeak or be misunderstood. Especially since people talk, and may bring these misinterpretations to other social group.
Indiscreet
Got a secret you’d like to share to your friends? Make sure none of them are Geminis! True to the duality of their nature, Gemini can’t stay true or consistent to anyone – not even themselves. So, even if they say what they mean when they swear to a keep a secret? Once the winds change, they probably won’t.
Loyalty is important in any long term relationship. Make sure to not lose the trust of those who matter to you the most. Else, you may find yourself alone and misunderstood. Secrets were shared to you in trust, and once that trust is broken, it may never be the same again. Additionally, these actions can easily hurt others in ways you may not have forseen, so its best to avoid it entirely.
High-Strung
Well know for their extremes, the Gemini frequently experiences mood swings. Their conflicting emotions on situations, often causes abrupt mood swings. And may even make them emotionally sensitive. One moment they their kind and affectionate nature may sudennly become impersonal and indifferent. Of course, this emotional rollercoaster tends to get them in a lot of fights and burns a lot of bridges.
Derisive
Gemini especially clashes heads with the water signs because of this. Satirical, sarcastic, mocking – Gemini is all of these things! They will make fun of or play around with any topic, even if its sensitive to the ones they’re talking to. Gemini can’t help themselves – they delight in the chaos. It also scratches their polarizing itch – they like to make a game out of what is serious and vice versa.
Always Overreacting
Just like we said in the section above – Gemini will often give undue attention or gravity to matters. What is supposedly serious becomes a game. Inversely, Gemini also loves to make mountains out of molehills! Especially if they’re bored, Gemini delights in the action and the chaos. So they’re bound to stir up some trouble – even if none exists in the first place!
Irresponsible
Their tendency to be flighty and impulsive makes the Gemini come off as irresposible. Although they have the potential for greatness, their tendency to overcommit to tasks, makes it difficult for them to deliver their promises. And when overwhelmed, they may get emotional and impulsively abandon responsibilities as a result. Other times, they may just plainly opt to do something else entirely.
Responsibilites are an inevitable part of life. Part of being an adult is taking ownership of your life and taking charge of tasks and obligations. If you are a Gemini, dear reader, we suggest that you set priorities. Always take the time to think about your capabilities and limites before commiting to something.
Fickle
Being restrained and confined is just not Gemini’s cup of tea. They greatly enjoy freedom and spontanity. Keeping their option open, brings them joy. And they love having new company and even new partners. It may come as no surprise that Gemini doesn’t hesitate to make a change when they find something they deem superior.
Learn to keep long term relationships dear Gemini. Building a community or a friend group around us, can help greatly with your day to day living. Remaining loyal to our chosen few, and creating that sense of community means that we always have someone to turn to. Someone you can rely on to have your back even when you’re not around.
Shallow
Attractiveness, charisma and intelligence, can easily catch the attention of the Gemini. A person’s personality means little to a Gemini. Their standard of beauty is extremely surface level and superficial. As a result, they tend to build very temporary and fleeting relationships built on temporary attraction. Thankfully, that’s exactly what Gemini’s prefer.
However, no man is an island. We all eventually crave for companionship and long term relationships. Take care not to waste too much of your time in meaningless relationships. Try to build deeper connections with others, it may surprise you to find how fullfilling these commitments are.
The Takeaway…
Everyone has their own set of positive and negative traits, Gemini is no different. Gemini’s are a paradox of sorts and may often find they contradict themselves often. They also tend to hop from one thing to the other, making them unreliable and flaky. Their penchance for the new also tend to bring them very temporal and shallow relationships.
Our advice for the Gemini, spend some time to self reflect and manage your bad habits. Always remember that at the end of the day, it’s your responsibility to reign in your bad habits. Nothing is written in stone. Astrology is only meant to be your guide. So don’t hesitate to take charge of your fate, and make the move toward a better self.
