Earth sign females: how social are you?

Although Earth signs in general are probably less social than the other elements (and as a Virgo male I certainly need my "alone time" sometimes), I was wondering how this fits in if you are an Earth sign FEMALE, given that after all females are generally more social by nature than males. How much time do you like to spend alone, do you get lonely, and does your social life tend to revolve around your work/career/occupation?

The older I get the more outgoing and social I become. I definitely don't seek out social situations but I don't run from them like I used to. I wouldn't describe myself as shy anymore, since people no longer make me anxious. However, most people tell me over and over again *eye roll* how quiet I am. I am loud, obnoxious and inappropriate with my close friends and family.

I don't spend as much time alone as I would like. My work is very collaborative, so I constantly have to be in contact with a coworker. This isn't that bad because I LOVE my coworkers. They're like a second family. Sometimes I get lonely if other people point out how alone I am. LOL If that makes any sense. For instance, I have a social butterfly Leo cousin, who ALWAYS wants to do something. She'll call me and ask me what I'm up to, I'll tell her nothing (totally relaxed, purring into my blankets, deliciously content) and she'll say "Awwwww that's so sad, lets go to -insert random hot spot- tonight!" That pity always makes me question my contentment. It's annoying.

My crazy family and co-workers are pretty much the only reason I have a social life to begin with. The guilt and obligation I feel to never say no to them is enough to get me off my ass and socializing. If it were up to me I'd never leave my apartment.

I was shy as a teen. However, in my college years, I came into my own. I am very social! Always going and doing and I have lots of friends. There is still a shy side, but at the same time, I will talk to anyone who will talk back. 🙂

I'm really sociable 🙂. I like meeting new people, get involved in different conversations and learning new things - with each new encounter I also learn more about myself and the way I relate to others. I have friends from all walks of life, and they are all really different from each other - it helps me understand human nature better and gives me a tolerance for diversity (which I didn't have when I was younger and used to put people in different boxes). I've been told I make people feel at ease when we talk - I've had strangers on the street come to way and share their life story..and it used to puzzle me why they would do that - some of them said I look like the kind type who wouldn't judge.

I don't get lonely even if I'm by myself a long time - I can stay away from everyone for months and not feel any loneliness whatsoever.I can easily go on a trip to a different country by myself and have loads of fun (I love exploring and meeting new cultures), which makes my female friends turn their heads "Oh, that's so sad...you went to Paris by yourself". I have more male friends than female though

My social life revolves around common hobbies/passions.

I

I am a Taurus female but with a very Gemini-heavy chart. Sometimes I am very social and outgoing, and other times I prefer to have a night to myself or with a few close friends.

Having my Ascendent in Leo, as a Taurus female, would make me appear outgoing and and socially confident, while internally I'm experiencing conflicting emotions. Not that I don't enjoy being around people and social situations or anything, but majority of the time is spent alone, where I can process everything that happened during that day. Beleive me, it has helped to keep me sane...

That's how I often feel as well (processing things!) It's true it does help keep you sane. I think we Earth signs feel/experience things on a deeper level than others which is why we are cautious, because if things go wrong it really hurts and keeps hurting for a long time.

My Gem Rising, I think, makes me appear more outgoing than I am... most would peg me as being sociable/outgoing when they meet me despite the fact I tell them that I'm an introvert. I'll chit chat with people briefly and then move on (in time... like a couple of outings - met some great people, just can't keep going out to "hang"). I don't even talk to my family frequently and I see my best friend like once every few months when we both have time - we don't have an issue with it, we're both busy with our lives. When something's we'll talk, but when submerged in work (or a relationship), not really at all.

I am very much a home body though (probably why I still cling to a certain Cancer in my life). I don't care for going out much or even hanging out with "people" in general (folks at work get together every morning for "tea" ugh! - probably think I'm stuck up because, while they spend a half hour or so doing nothing, I'm busy - work parties kill me too, but that's an obligation).

Drop me in a party where I don't know anyone though, and I'll be scratching at the walls to get out!
