16 Negative Traits Of Sagittarius
Although Sagittarius can be loyal, assertive, independent, outgoing, and intelligent, they may also exhibit certain traits that may impact their relationships. Here are a few negative traits of Sagittarius.
1. Short-tempered
Spontaneity is one of the peculiar Sagittarius characteristics. While this is an excellent quality to have, it could often lead them to react to situations impulsively. Due to this, they may come off as short-tempered individuals who could erupt at any moment. At times, they might also lose their temper as an impulse reaction to a situation and behave differently, which might be contrary to their otherwise pleasing and fun-loving behavior.
2. Clumsy
Sagittarians like to live life at ease. They love being comfortable in their skin; and hence, they often struggle to follow a strict routine. As a result, they are usually laid-back or unfocused, which may come off as being lazy and clumsy to others.

3. Arrogance
Smartness, attractiveness, and intelligence are a few of the many good qualities that Sagittarians are blessed with. Since they are well-informed, they often steal the limelight and are the center of attention. Subconsciously this can lead them to offer uncalled for advice to others and make them come off as arrogant.
4. Reckless

Sagittarians are carefree, unpredictable, and they enjoy taking risks. However, these attributes can lead them to make impulsive or unstable decisions that they may regret. They might land in risky situations because of their otherwise spirited and happy-go-lucky nature inspired by their ruling planet, Jupiter.
5. Inconsistent
Sagittarians constantly look for new experiences, and while doing so, they may not engage in one activity for too long, making them unreliable. Many things might appeal to them at once. A Sagittarian is likely to change jobs frequently, change friends often, try new things for short durations, and have fewer long-term relationships.
Did you know?
Sagittarius is adventurous, and they long for freedom more than anything. They don’t want to be stuck in a relationship and often fear commitment for the same reason.
6. Over-confident
Sagittarians are some of the most confident people you would find. Their confidence reflects well in their behavior and often bodes well for them. However, they may come off as over-confident individuals. Since they acknowledge their assertive attitude and are often self-reliant, they may seem over-confident or selfish to some people.

7. Emotionally cold

Practicality is a Sagittarian’s strong suit. Although they are friendly, care for others, and are always there for them, their practical approach to life makes them seem insensitive, unsympathetic, and emotionally cold. They are often perceived as being disregardful towards other people’s feelings. However, in reality, they are practical and do not take decisions from the heart.
8. Blunt
One of the Sagittarius traits is that they are always downright honest. Although this is their strong suit, they may come off as rude or tactless. They find it difficult to manipulate their words or sugar coat them, and while many appreciate their honesty and bank on them for their honest opinions, a few may find them blunt or harsh.
9. Awkward
Sagittarians often find themselves worrying too much about someone or a situation. Being to themselves during such times, they miss out on paying attention to their appearance or behavior. They are almost always concerned about the good of others that they barely focus on their behavior or appearance in public, making them look weird or awkward.
10. Impatient

Getting excited about a dinner with friends or a short trip with their family is common for a Sagittarian. Although they are fun-loving and usually overflow with excitement to do new things, they are impatient and restless at times.
During a conversation with a friend, their enthusiasm may often lead them to pay little heed to what the other person has to say. They cannot stay still in one place and are constantly looking for a change or ways to be spontaneous and less mundane. Their impatience and overenthusiasm can often irk people.
Quick tip
The key to impressing a Saggitarius man is being able to match his energy. So stay tuned in, pay attention to what they have to say, and don’t be afraid to voice your opinion.

11. Stubborn
Sagittarians are persistent and will accomplish something they set their mind to. However, their need to do things right and swiftly, although beneficial to them and others, can often make them look opinionated, uncooperative, and imposing. Also, their desire for perfect outcomes may be perceived as stubbornness and uncompromising.
12. Attention seeking
Sagittarians love attention. They are great communicators and intelligent beings and usually love to be in the spotlight. However, their effort at conversing or entertaining others may seem to be too attention-seeking. Some Sagittarians may also draw attention towards themselves with their charm and dynamism, which could be perceived as attention-seeking behavior.
13. Overthinking

Sagittarians tend to contemplate a situation overly. They may overanalyze things to the extent where their thoughts may overwhelm them. Often, this degree of thinking may lead them to disregard people’s opinions other than their own.
14. Boastful
Sagittarians are optimistic, self-confident, and communicative. They love sharing the happiness and extraordinary moments of their lives. However, when they optimistically share such events with others with whom they may not be quite close, it may seem as though they are bragging. Although their intention of sharing the good things in their life may be pure, a few might perceive them as boastful.
Did you know?
A Saggitarius man is egoistic and self-centered. In a relationship, they only think about themselves and often fail to recognize and fulfill their partner’s needs.

15. Socially naïve
Despite being deep thinkers and of high intelligence, Sagittarians can be socially naïve. The belief that every individual in this world is essentially good and has good intentions often backfires for a naïve Sagittarius and makes them vulnerable to people’s trickery.
16. Narcissistic
Sagittarians can sometimes be full of themselves and overlook or put down people they do not think are as good as them. This happens because they believe they are confident and superior. In social settings, they always want to be in the limelight and be the center of attention. They think they are better than everyone else and need special treatment. Sagittarians’ strong sense of independence drives them to act like they can do anything independently. However, they should strive to find a balance between feeling confident about their abilities and being kind to others. They must understand that nobody’s perfect and it is okay not to be the best at everything. They should also be mindful about giving everyone the respect they deserve and creating a harmonious environment around them.
