Fickleness and superficiality are traits that generally accompany a certain general lack of intellectual curiosity. In short, sometimes Geminis do not value "book" knowledge as highly as the other signs. Furthermore, some obsess over things that appear to be meaningless to others. This is the dark side of a Gemini's personality, but it is not limited to just Geminis. Individuals born under astrology signs other than Gemini who have these types of personality traits could make use of this advice.
Gemini Personality
The Gemini personality prototype is quite common, even to other signs. Often, they deride "book smarts" in favor of "street smarts." They enjoy scrutinizing what appear to be trivial details in people's appearances or in the way people walk or talk. Many enjoy "people watching," and enjoy poking fun at whatever they view as the passing people's flaws. This disdain of others and disdain of knowledge is often defensive in nature. Many Geminis feel hurt by others, and wish to hurt them back. Others had bad experiences with school or with people they see as smarter than themselves, and wish to attack the very concept of higher intelligence itself.
The Gemini Man
The Gemini man may express his superficial nature differently than the Gemini woman. He may enjoy sports, or other more physical and less intellectual activities. The Gemini man may try to hide his insecurity about his intellect behind a facade of false bravado and macho masculinity.
The Gemini Woman
The Gemini woman may be obsessively interested in her looks, or in the appearances of others. She may have problems with body image and subject herself to lots of different fad diets. Both the Gemini man and the Gemini woman may forsake real relationships for flings that they know won't go anywhere. This fear of a serious relationship may be related to a general fear of the other person knowing the real them. The Gemini woman will also take great pains to hide the parts of herself she does not like from others.
Gemini Love
Gemini love and romance may be complicated by the fact that many of them feel the urge to be fickle. Some are prone to quickly ending relationships, or engaging in activities they know will end relationships. Some Geminis even feel the urge to cheat on their significant other. This feeling is often brought on by the classic "you can't love anyone until you learn to love yourself" problem. Like the Virgo, who hides her lack of confidence in herself behind her perfectionist drive, the Gemini often hides their lack of self esteem in an aversion to closeness with others and a reject of their qualities. Similar to the problems often experienced by the Scorpio, the Gemini's distrust of others can sabotage otherwise healthy relationships.
Many Geminis, as well as individuals of other signs, reject certain kinds of thought and close ties to others. They seek the superficial qualities in people and in relationships because they feel that this is where they can thrive. Only through learning to trust and admire themselves can they learn to feel this way about others as well.
