Why Are Pisces So Hated (11 REASONS!)

Pisces have many great traits, such as being creative, selfless, wise, and sensitive, but this sign also lends itself to being unrealistic, self-pitying, and sensitive too.

As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces people sometimes have gotten a bad reputation. They can display confusing traits and are highly emotional.

It can be difficult to keep up with a Piscean, as their personalities seem to change constantly, and this is often where the hatred comes in.

If you are a Piscean or have one in your life, you might want to know where the hatred for this star sign comes from. Let’s find out the Pisces stereotypes that people resent the most…

Why Are Pisces So Hated?

Pisces Cannot Make Decisions

One of the most frustrating personality traits of a Piscean is that they cannot make decisions. Being ruled by Neptune, which represents dreams and creativity, Pisceans find it difficult to pull themselves out of their imaginative realm and pull themselves down to reality.

From simple decisions to bigger ones, Pisceans do not recognize any responsibility put on them, and rely on their empathetic nature more than logic, making decisiveness very difficult for them.

Pisces tend to overthink the outcomes of every possible decision they might make, which then makes it even more tedious to make a choice.

Pisces Are Manipulative

Having a high emotional intelligence and being so in touch with their own emotions, Pisces find it easy to manipulate the emotions of others, sometimes without meaning to.

They will agree with you to your face but then work on changing how you feel through the manipulation of your emotions.

It also makes it easy for them to manipulate others as they can hide their emotions well and makes others believe what they want to believe by conveying the emotions they think they want to see.

However, some Pisceans are better at manipulation than others, and the obvious manipulation from Pisceans is one of the main reasons why the other signs distrust and dislike them.

Ironically, some Pisces are easily manipulated themselves as they can’t make decisions and can be easily influenced.

Since sometimes they don’t know what they want, they can be persuaded and swayed easily, making them look flakey and wish-washy to others.

Pisces Escape The Real World Too Often

It is well-known that the typical Pisces personality is very aloof. They tend to live with their heads in the cloud, constantly day-dreaming and relying on their creativity to get by, but this means that they escape the real world too often and become comfortable with this, making the real world seem tiring and disinteresting to them.

A Piscean will also find the real world emotionally draining, and escape to their fantasies to deal with this.

Because of this, they will often run or hide when the real world gets too tough, which can be incredibly frustrating for the other signs who prefer to deal with issues head-on.

It is almost impossible to be in a relationship or friendship that never faces reality, leaving you as the one who constantly has to be the adult and make the decisions, facing the real world on your own.

A lot of people hate pisces simply because they are always in their dream world and tend to not focus on the person in front of them.

Understandably, some get frustrated when they feel like they’re talking to them and pisces isn’t paying them any attention.

Pisces Offer Unwarranted Help

Being so willing to help others at the drop of a hat, Pisceans are very often handing out help and advice where it isn’t needed and, worse, where it isn’t wanted.

This can rub certain signs the wrong way, especially strong-willed fire signs.

Having someone willing to help is great, but when this becomes unsolicited and overwhelming, then you find yourself fighting off unwanted advice. It can make people quite resentful towards the Piscean.

They might also think they know what you need, and help out where they think you might need help, only for it to be the opposite of what you require, causing more stress and more of a mess for you to deal with than before.

Another way that Pisces people might frustrate other signs is by offering advice and their opinion when you just asked for help with a simple task.

Pisces Are Overly Sensitive

A positive about Pisceans is that they are very in touch with their emotions and this means that they can have strong emotional relationships. 

The downside to this is that they can be overly sensitive, depending on and seeking out their emotions too often, instead of seeking logic and facing reality.

This is one of the reasons why Pisceans are so hated, they are fragile, and the smallest thing can hurt them and turn them against you.

While this can make them seem weak, it also means that they can hold grudges and have temperamental moods. Being so unpredictable, and so fragile makes them incredibly difficult to deal with, especially for signs who are more stable.

Pisces Are Never On Time

Aquarius, Leo, Libra, and Scorpio are all punctual signs who are known to be on time. Pisces, however, is one of the signs that is never on time, and Pisceans are notoriously late.

For the signs that are punctual, and pretty much all of the other signs, this constant lateness is incredibly frustrating, and they are never late for a valid reason, which makes it even worse.

The main reason that Pisceans are late is that they are stuck daydreaming or become tied up in their own world and forget the responsibilities and schedules that they might have.

Pisces Can Be Two-Faced

Many believe that as Pisces is the last zodiac sign, they are a mix of all the different zodiac signs put together, possessing traits from all the others.

This makes it incredibly difficult for them to find who they are, and to keep up with all the different bits of their personality.

Having traits from all the other signs makes it nearly impossible for them to react consistently to hardship and everyday life. Dealing with all the various traits can make them appear two-faced and different every time you see them, making them feel unreliable and untrustworthy.

Pisces Are Not Good Listeners

Constantly being stuck in their fantasies and in their head, Pisceans are not very good listeners. They are never fully paying attention to what others are saying, which makes it difficult for the other signs to engage in conversation with them.

Many of the other signs give up on the conversations they might have with Pisceans, as they can tell they are stuck in a daydream and not actually being attentive listeners, and it just isn’t worth their time after a while.

Pisces Can Be Very Introverted

Being sensitive, Pisceans often feel like they need to retreat into their own space, to rest emotionally, and to recenter themselves.

However, this can lead to them being overly introverted at times, so much so that they cut themselves off from the rest of the world. They will lock themselves away, physically and emotionally, and take their time to recuperate.

For other signs, it might feel as though they are being pushed away out of the blue. One day a Piscean might be open, happy, and social, and the next they have retreated and gone radio silent.

This constant change is difficult to deal with, both as a friend and as someone in a relationship with a Piscean, and it can be so tough trying to determine what mood the Piscean will be in next, and how best to approach them.

They also tend to give the silent treatment when they are upset. This is incredibly infuriating for many.

Their sensitive nature creates difficult situations to navigate for many. That, mixed with heir constant mood swings and you have a recipe for disaster.

Pisces Never Act

Stuck in the clouds and living in a fantasy world is fun for a Piscean, but it means that they never take decisive action. As mentioned above, Pisceans find it incredibly hard to make a decision, but this then also means that they never take action.

They are laid-back, indecisive, and unmotivated when it comes to the real world, and while going with the flow might seem like a cool trait to have, along with some of the other personality traits that a Piscean has, it means that they never act on anything.

You cannot rely on a Piscean for much, as chances are that they will not actually do any of the things they have promised.

Pisces Love To Impress

A very irritating trait that many Pisceans have is that they constantly want to be liked by everyone. They feel a deep desire to be loved by all, and this can cause them to become tiresome to be around.

They would try way too hard to be your friend or to be everyone’s friend, and when you just want a relaxed relationship or friendship, this can become quite annoying.

It could also make the Piscean desperate for approval and attention, and they would want reassurance from you that you still like them and that you are still friends.

Which Signs Get Along With Pisces? 

Pisces is known as one of the most frustrating signs to deal with, but they do have some great traits, and there are some good pairings with other zodiac signs.

These sensitive souls can be amazing friends but since they avoid difficult situations, they can frustrate many around them.

Some signs have an easier time navigating the emotions of a pisces friend with compassion and patience.

Earth signs such as Virgo and Taurus understand emotions well, and while logical too, they also love to connect on a creative level, making them good zodiac signs to pair with Pisces.

As long as a Piscean can keep their head out of the clouds and try to connect on a more stable level, they can escape their reputation.
