They don't readily share or disclose their emotions, especially when pressured into arguments. They dislike conflict, sometimes making them quite avoidant when confronted. However, those negative feelings don't disappear, and their constant suppression of emotions can lead to a positive outburst or explosion after some minor infringement.
Their inability to be direct with their emotions can sometimes make them appear weak in front of some other zodiac signs, meaning they can be taken advantage of.
They may take a lot of time to make decisions, which can disappoint others in their lives. Sometimes this can even be mistaken for laziness. Their sense of fairness is a good thing, but there can be issues in relationships when they make partners feel like they should prioritize over others.
