These zodiac signs have the sharpest tongues

When people want to be honest about something, they often think carefully about how to relay their opinions so they don’t hurt others’ feelings. However, some signs won’t hesitate to tell it like it is, which can make them come off as critical, harsh or straight-up vicious. They don’t care about the consequences of their words—what matters to them most is getting their truth out, so they can be pretty confrontational.

These are the zodiac signs with the sharpest tongues:

Virgo

Virgos are naturally analytical, which also means their self-criticalness easily extends to others who don’t match up to their standards. According to YourTango, they know exactly where to hit so that it hurts, and they can’t promise that it isn’t personal. Their pursuit of perfection can have them sting you with their comments, so you may want to steer clear of them if you’re afraid of tripping up.

Scorpio

Scorpios certainly bite as hard as they bark, so you wouldn’t want to mess with them. They can be spiteful when being honest about what they feel, especially if they’re upset, warns YourTango—if they’re hurt, they want you to be hurt, too. At least you know they won’t be hiding their true emotional state.

Capricorn

Capricorns prioritize practicality and efficiency, so they can unintentionally be blunt when offering their opinion to get from point A to B faster. Though it may result in some hurt feelings along the way, their intention is to speed things along. They never mean to be cruel, but when they’re stressed out or in a hurry, a barb or two may accidentally slip out.

Leo

Leos love their friends, so they can be extremely critical of the people who hurt them. Though the cutting words won’t be directed at their loved ones, it can be frightening to see how brutal they can be—after all, if you wrong them, you might be at the receiving end of their verbal takedown.
