They won’t always say it out loud. They might even congratulate you, drop a clapping emoji in the group chat, and smile on the surface… but deep down—they’re boiling. Some zodiac signs simply struggle when someone else shines brighter than them. It’s not outright malice, but a quiet, burning envy they can’t always explain. Someone else’s success stirs an inner restlessness, reminding them of everything they haven’t achieved yet. And according to astrology, these two signs are the most prone to this feeling.
Scorpio – struggle when others do better
Scorpios are intense, ambitious, and highly sensitive to power dynamics. They hate feeling like they’re in someone else’s shadow—especially if that person was once beneath them. Another person’s success often triggers doubts about their own progress, even if they seem unbothered on the outside. They envy quietly but deeply— and they never forget who got the spotlight when they were left on the sidelines.
Virgo – struggle when others do better
Virgos are perfectionists who analyze, compare, and overthink everything. When they see someone else’s success, their first reaction isn’t “Wow, good for them!” but rather “Why didn’t I achieve that?” or “There must be something behind this…” They can’t stand when someone else gets recognition for something they believe they worked harder on—at least by their own standards. Their envy comes from an internal belief that they’re never quite good enough— so seeing others praised only amplifies their own insecurities.
