I heard mutable signs especially Pisces do not have solid identities which allow us to adapt and go with the flow. We are also said to be the culmination of all the signs and are also able to change ourselves based on the people we are around. Do you feel your identity is mostly influenced by other people?

It’s almost like we are to “soft” for this world because while other people are confident and ambitious we are mostly empathetic and dreamy which are good traits to have but not advantageous for getting ahead in the real world. We are also burdened by mental illnesses and delusions and we may struggle to set boundaries which makes everyone looking at us from the outside think we are weak and pathetic. Sometimes I feel like it would be easier to be literally any other sign because they have ambition, confidence, and “strength” (I know empathy and creativity are strengths but I mean strength as in the ability to resist adversaries)

I feel like we are completely different from the other 2 water signs because while Cancers wear their hearts on their sleeve even more than us, they still have traits that allow them to get power, stability and respect and then there’s Scorpios who have the ruling planets of Mars and Pluto which makes them able to take on anything and anyone and even thrive during difficult times. Scorpios are emotional like the other water signs but, like Cancer, are able to stand on business. Pisces on the other hand seems like it has to force itself to be tough on order to survive even though it’s not in our nature to be aggressive. It’s in our nature to be soft and vulnerable and escapist and the world does not encourage this.

Does anyone else feel like the world forces us to act differently from our true selves, because our true nature is seen as too weak?

People look at our sign and just assume that our emotional, empathetic, imaginative nature means we are soft and weak. Other signs have their stereotypes such as Leos being arrogant or Aries being confrontational 24/7 which are just not true. Yet, people respect the power of all the other signs except for Pisces and Cancer. They only see us as delusional escapists with no backbones. Do you think the internets opinions of us does us justice or there is more to us than that?
