What makes libra Apathetic?

Question

Or seem apathetic? I guess this question is for people that are not Libras. Tell me why you think they act like that?

Answer 1

Well, I know you said this question is not for Libras...but as a Libra myself, I must argue that our apathy (well, mine at least) is not stemmed from any insecurity or low self confidence. When I am apathetic about something, it is generally because I do not feel the need to expend energy on a subject that does not concern me. As Libras, we are able to see all sides of an issue, and often have many differing opinions in our own heads, so there are times when I just choose to detach myself and remain impartial. I am not like this all the time...I have a Cancer Moon, and when I become emotionally attached to something, I am far from apathetic. But that is why I often don't give my heart, because I do not want the pain of caring about everybody around me..I have my issues, and the things I care deeply about. The rest of it is just details that surround me. I definitely care about things, but I can't care about everything right? So that is why I may appear apathetic, because there are just some issues that are not worth worrying about.

Edit: Well said Vevila. I agree, the whole chart matters.

I don't think it's fair to stereotype.  Your sun sign does not define who you are.  If you want to consider the zodiac to analyze a person, you have to look at the moon, mercury, and venus signs of that person as well as the sun sign, and also the ascendant.  I may be a Libra sun, but given that I am an Aquarius moon (which makes me fiercely independent, opinionated, and original), Scorpio mercury (very passionate in speech and intellectual expression), Scorpio venus (very passionate and possessive in love), and Capricorn ascendant (stubborn), I am FAR from apathetic.  I do often times take the middle road when I am surrounded by contention because...simply...I can see the bigger picture.  Arguing is not generally how you solve issues...instead you can sit down and have a logical conversation about it, and come to a compromise.  Duh.  As an "air" sign...I do have the gift of approaching many things intellectually.  But when it comes to defending myself and those close to me, and when it comes to love, I am radically emotional as well.  I am an "Air" sign according to my Libra sun and Aquarius moon, but since I have a lot of Scorpio as well, I am also heavily a "Water".  So...don't stereotype please!  Every individual is different...even if their sun sign is the same.

I really can't be certain, but...

I think libra apathy may be largely owed to low-self confidence. Perhaps they feel like they have not lived up to the standards they have set for themselves.

I think bleak surroundings may also make a libra apathetic - when no one gives them support, when their conditions are dreary, and it does not look like there is any hope for them, then they may feel lonely and apathetic.

I suppose these reasons would make anyone apathetic, but I feel that this may be more particular for libras.

Edit: I also find that libras will never, ever admit to having low self confidence (I didn't even mean as a rule, but temporarily... when they did not achieve what they wanted to achieve). You'll probably find libras will ALWAYS be in control, according to them. Any apathy they might experience is a result of them WANTING to be apathetic. Just an observation.

Anyway, of course the whole chart matters - but that doesn't mean we should ignore similarities between people of the same sun signs.

We don't know and we don't care.

Just kidding.  I think it's the fact that we're Air Signs, and things just don't cling to us.  We really don't allow things to get us like say, a Water sign would do.
