I was born on October 3rd, which if you go by the old 12 zodiac sign model instead of the new convoluted 13, makes me a Libra. I have always found astrology interesting because there are certain personality traits that are meant to go along with the month or day in which someone was born. There are stereotypes surrounding each sign; Taurus is stubborn, Pisces is imaginative, and Cancer is family oriented.
My mom and my twin sister (obviously) are also Libras, and we constantly make jokes like "oh I'm such a horrible decision maker, must be because I'm a Libra." And this is incredibly true for me because I will spend a whole hour in one section of a store trying to decide between the blue dress or the pink one. It can get very overwhelming to have people around me trying to hurry me up when I really need to take my time to make a decision.
I also find that like the websites say about Libras, I am very self-pitious. I take blame for almost everything that I do and turn everything into my fault. It's a very unhealthy thing to do, and I am trying to move past it, but sometimes it is just a force of habit. I would also agree that I am fair-minded. I try not to take sides if I can help it, but sometimes, I know that one person is right, and even if that person isn't my closest friend, I will take the side that makes more sense and is more logical.
However, Libras tend to not like being alone, and while this is true for me in many cases, I am the most introverted person that I know, and I do truly value my alone time. I like being around people for a couple of hours but then I want to retreat to my room to read a book or listen to music. And for this reason, I am not that sociable, perhaps the most common stereotype of a Libra. I always read that Libras are the life of the party and that they are popular. Well, if you know me at all, you'd know that is the furthest thing from the truth about me. I've always been the awkward girl in the back of the class who hears everything but makes no comment. Also, Libras tend to enjoy new situations. I myself am terrified of a new experience if I am alone.
Libras are supposed to be lazy (definitely me), but about work as well, which I am not. I am an extremely diligent worker. I always want to make sure I get everything done in a timely fashion, even if it means tons of stress for me. But I always put myself in others' shoes to figure out a situation, and I like to think that I'm good at helping people out when they need someone to listen. So yeah, I guess I was born at the right time.
