Laughter and humor are essential for maintaining a lighthearted atmosphere and building relationships, but not everyone shares the same sense of humor. While some easily accept jokes at their own expense, others perceive them as a threat to their dignity. In the company of such individuals, humor has its limits, especially when the jokes touch on their personal insecurities. Here are the zodiac signs in which such people are often born.
Capricorn – can’t take a joke at their own expense
Capricorns are known for their seriousness and high standards, both for themselves and others. When someone makes a joke at their expense, they often perceive it as an attack on their values. For them, humor that puts them in the center of the joke can seem like an attempt to belittle them, prompting them to withdraw or respond with criticism. If you want to maintain a good relationship with Capricorns, choose subtle humor and avoid jokes about their achievements.
Cancer – can’t take a joke at their own expense
Sensitive and emotional Cancers often take every joke seriously, especially if it concerns their personality or family. Although they have an excellent sense of humor, jokes at their own expense are seen as a potential sign that others don’t appreciate them. They may exaggerate the meaning of a joke and wonder if there’s something more serious behind it. If you want to make Cancers laugh, choose warm and positive jokes.
Virgo – can’t take a joke at their own expense
Perfectionist Virgos have a hard time accepting jokes that point out their mistakes or weaknesses. They like to have control over their lives and care about the impression they leave on others, so any comment that might highlight their flaws is taken too seriously. While they may enjoy sharp humor, jokes that put them in the spotlight can result in conflicts.
