Hey Virgos! Long time no post.

I'm curious, do you ever go through periods of time (usually in high stress) where you feel completely disconnected from your personal relationships? Like a complete system shut down and you just can't connect.
Friends & family yes, I will shut them out, but when i'm in a relationship, no. I look to my SO for emotional support, because they are who I connect with the most.

First things first...HELLO TIZ MY LOVE!!! Did you miss my sunshine :-)

@DonnaElvira77 that really resonates as I find myself going through this right now as well. But I'm in a deeply long-term co-habitating relationship. And where this would usually be about the time I started to ruin my relationship. I actually really love this guy, so I working to maintain my loving presence while muddling through this off time. I'm realizing I've never really maintained a relationship before.

Everybody is different. For example, about 3 years ago, I had serious exams that needed my time and attention. I wanted to prove to myself that I am capable of achieving my goals, it was a hard time for me. I didn't see my ex who I was with at the time, for a whole 7 weeks, although we kept in contact a bit, it was never personal against him or the relationship, I just needed to focus on my goals and prove to myself I can do it. I had a horrific accident the same year so it was tough for me and I needed him to be strong and patient, unfortunately he wasn't. He had the mindset of a 10 year old and listened to his friends who talked butter about my distance (he wasn't a man to start with anyway). I deeply cared for this man, well I did and I would've done anything for him but he broke my heart into pieces, it bloody scarred me. Virgos get scarred easily, and once we do, it will effect us even when we get over it.

If you're shut out at the moment, don't take it to heart sweety, I'm not sugarcoating anything, you need to be patient. it's easier said than done but if you love this person very deeply, it will be worth it. The thing with us virgos is we can be cold and distant on the outside but omg on the inside we're full of deep emotions, it surprises us sometimes how deeply we can feel. We just don't want to get hurt. We can manipulate sometimes, not intentionally. We put up walls to see who cared enough to break those walls down, and once that erpson does we will hold onto them for life. It's not that we don't want to be there, but when we're under enormous pressure we shut down until we resolve our issue.

Me personally, if I'm upset or if I'm facing an issue that is effecting me emotionally and mentally, I will shut down the whole world, friends, family and relationships. It's only because I don't want my issues to effect my nearest and dearest, I feel guilty as though I am dragging them through the roll coaster. its almost as though we're trying to protect our loved ones. If you be patient and understanding, we will love you even more when we're back. In the meantime take care of yourself and focus on you.

my moon is in Virgo and I can relate to this. I made a post about it once titled "Virgo moon- the glass bubble". it's what it feels like to me. I'm watching people and all their emotions in the world around me...and it feels like I am in a glass bubble. I can't hear or relate to them, only watch them. I see them cry. I see them laugh. and I don't and can't relate to them. I wonder what they feel. why they feel it, but I'm at a total disconnect.

I def do this, I will only realise just how much I am doing it when my family and friends comment. Its like I have to bring things back to a calm and I can only do this by myself even though really it is better if I share the stress. I share more these days as I have got older and have an inner circle I trust but I still just retreat into my shell at times and just deal with it, people who dont know you find this stand offish but sometimes I dont want to share emotional burdens....i do also relish my alone time too.
