It seems like Pisces "brag" about themselves just as much as people say Leos do imo. Is it their insecurities?

First of all I will say that everybody of any sign is prone to bragging. It's our way of validating ourselves in the world and building confidence in ourselves when others don't do it for us. It might not be very nice, but it is done. I have not met a single person of any sign who has not bragged to me at least once. You could follow every user on this site and you'll find, probably relatively frequently, that they brag about themselves actually very often in some form or another. I have noticed a few Pisces braggarts, but I have also noticed many, many others too in my own life.

Nevertheless, I think a particularly needy person who happens to be a Piscean might be particulary prone to shameless and obvious bragging because they may be more prone to needing to validate themselves in the world. Pisces is a sign that is uncomfortable with an ego but still likes to be appreciated since they are of course human and humans are social beings and humans like/need to be appreciated and recognised by the people around us. This discomfort with their own ego can lead to an overcompensation of the ego. They feign a strong ego and brag more in order to make themselves feel more like they are worthy and capable and to let others know that they are too. As people get older we realise quickly that if we do not assert ourselves we will get pushed to the side and walked all over, and this is very true for the often passively-inclined Pisces. I find most Pisces that have been brought up to be confident in themselves and aren't in a position of authority where they feel a lot of pressure will not feel the need to openly express their talents because they have less need to validate themselves against others' opinions.

Then there is also the potential for Pisceans to develop that martyr complex I'm often mentioning when it comes to Pisces, where they do a lot and sacrifice a lot for people at some point in their lives and feel as if they've gotten nothing in return. They wallow in the sadness of their perceived lost efforts and end up nowhere. This is not a necessity for all Pisceans but at bad times in their lives this cycle can end up forming.

Personally I've known two male Pisces who brag a lot. I asked one of them why he does that all the time and he said that he just wants people to appreciate him. I think he has been caught in a perpetual feeling that his talents and abilities (which are high) are not recognised and to be honest they often are not. But he overcompensates, again, and it just puts people off more.

Personally I rarely or never brag, I never have, and I never plan to. I am very uncomfortable with it and I am also usually quite uncomfortable with compliments. I've actually been told a couple of times that I need to assert my own abilities more because sometimes we need to brag a bit to make our talents more known and to get places, and that is probably true. I think this is another way a Pisces can go - not asserting themselves enough.

So yes, in the end I think everybody is insecure to some degree, but an insecure Piscean is often one that is very noticeable. I think you must hang around a lot of insecure people for some reason. There are also whole charts to take into account and so on and so forth, this kind of activity is not a Sun sign thing alone. Leo is known for their 'bragging' because of how the sign in its purest state is expressed - Leo is ruled by the Sun, and views the universe from its own point of view. An insecure Leo will be VERY loud about themselves because their outlook is centred very much on their own ego. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but when they are insecure (or delusional) it can be.

I think everyone has insecurity's at some point in their lives but i think its more about the person they are as a whole really, Each person deals with things in a different way. Some judge out of not understanding, some from lack of sympathy, some because its what they've been taught and some because they see something they don't like about themselves in others too.

I have a Pisces boyfriend that loves to brag, but is insecure on the inside. I can tell because if I try to bring up one of his faults he gets really upset. It's kind of cute :)

These water signs need ego stroking, so try to appreciate what they do but still be real and tell them if there's a problem (but in a gentle way.)

I have never met a Piscean braggart except one perhaps. I know Pisces tend to talk about themselves a lot, and I am ashamed to say I do. I really feel a bit regretful when people turn up with appreciative comments or compliments as I feel it might be something that I said that made them say so. I do realize some people might think I fish for compliments but I dont, its observation on my part.

Anyway, one thing most people forget, is that when they form opinions of other zodiacs, they fail to at least prevent to cloud their own judgement by their own zodiac tendencies. You are a Sag and I often get such attitudes from Sags, forming opinions too quickly and even saying it without actually even paying attention to whether you are saying it to the right people or for the right reason or actually even the correct thing. You are very in-the-moment creature so be reflective before you just 'filter' out the braggart bit. Have you noticed, you will not listen to everything one person says but just listen intermittently. If you try consciously to just listen totally in one go, you will be surprised how much you miss because of your zodiac tendencies.

Most people in an unconscious manner fight against their zodiac cons, for self improvement and to achieve success. Double standards is not very good.

Yes Pisces are full of themselves. I don't see why people are so surprised.

They cannot stand to see someone NOT paying attention to them. its like a stab in their pride and they will become obsessed with you. People are always calling Leos are attention seeking and insecure but Pisces are just as bad and sometimes worst. Pisces men are drama queens and Pisces women are arrogant.

LOL. You have a handful of Pisces people to deal with. I only know one Pisces ( sun sign ) guy like that and he's my best friend's boyfriend. He says things like, "I'm so caring," "I'm not like other guys" etc. He is not like other guys and he is caring ( even a little OCD ) but he's very insecure and worries a lot about what people think of him.

Hmmm, I don't know.

But I am not going to say it isn't true because I am sure there are a few pisces who will be big headed about themselves, I know I used to be vain but now I don't care I just know how to take pride in myself..

SO BTCH DONT FCKING TALK ABOUT PISCES LIKE THAT AGAIN

lmao, i joke alot xD

nahh i hate people that brag about themselves (taurus usually do this), i prefer to think of myself as average where other people are just jealous of me (now that isn't bragging LOOOL) im actually telling the truth, growing up i haven't had a lot of friends because most of them are jealous of me.. so they either bully me or just don't talk to me, and the guys don't approach me because they think i am stush... hmm scorpio moon much? or maybe it's the libra risingg. ahh i dno.

El Crispador is right. I've also read that Pisces can possibly possess certain traits of all of the signs. So it's not out of the realm of possibility to find some/many Pisces that do brag. Here is a video about the water signs. At 5:14 of the vid, the guy says how Pisces can show traits of all the signs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY7gH3K3onA

hmm i don't know if i've been bragging a lot but i do talk about myself a lot.

about what happened to me, what my reaction was when that happened, what i did next, what i heard, what i think... i just like to think out loud i guess.

and if you hang around with me, you'll get sick of hearing me talk and talk and talk and talk..

i won't stop.

and no i'm not trying to piss you off =)

Pro boxer Floyd Mayweather is a Pisces. Anyone that has knowledge of the boxing world knows the deal with that guy. Arrogance, cock!ness and conceitedness for days. I can post loads of interviews of him snapping at reporters and displaying is mega ego. Pisces is said to be one of the hardest signs to under stand. They can come off as having all types of personalities. You probably happen run into a lot of egotistical ones. I notice with Pisces you either have the REALLY sweet, humble and nice ones that appear as if they wouldn't hurt a butterfly and then you have ones that are bragging machines. But every sign can be egotistical/bragger. Everyone's experiences will be different and people's perceptions of others are going to vary. If you put 100 arrogant and bragging people of various signs in one room you will not be able to tell which sign they are unless they tell you.

edit: El Crispador- I believe you.
