Virgo, as a friend...

I have embarked on a series of assessments of my friends. Altogether, there are twelve (I hadn't realized there were so many!), one of whom is a Virgo. This is more for me than it is for you, of course. Feel free to add as necessary. 🙂

Cons: Well, he is (or was) sort of a pot/crack/LSD/alltypesofshyt-head. Although, he's getting past that.

Next, he's cheap. Mind you, I know this isn't a Virgo thing. But this particular young man clutches his purse tightly. I do understand his plight. Just wish he'd loosen up a bit, in that sense.

Pros: Wow. This guy has been through what the average person would crumble at the sight of. He is the epitome of strength. He faces a ton of overwhelming fears each day with a steady hand and boyish grin. I have no idea how he manages it all on his own. Very easygoing, understanding, open-minded, empathetic, and of course, intelligent. Many are intimidated by his words alone.

"Next, he's cheap. Mind you, I know this isn't a Virgo thing. But this particular young man clutches his purse tightly. I do understand his plight. Just wish he'd loosen up a bit, in that sense."

Cheapness is a trait unbecoming of Virgo sensibilities. If it was more of a 'frugal' thing, then yes maybe.

I think your pal just has a case of whats known as "alligator arms"....the hands can't reach far enough to grasp his wallet

""The virgos I know just don't have the funds ...""

Yes, I'll give him that. He doesn't have the funds. But, if that's the case, curb your nights out on the town w/ friends. That way, you won't have to be sooooo "frugal".

P.S. I forgot to mention how honest he is with himself, and about himself. Very self-aware.

>ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO TRIP THEIR BRAINS OUT AND NUMB THEIR SOULS TO COMPLETE OBLIVION IS THE OPPOSITE OF STRONG. PERIOD.

If he's getting over it, ok. As for me, I've never desired to be more than a little buzzed, as I always want to be in control of myself. Also, and maybe because of advice from an older wiser brother, I was afraid of "liking some drug TOO much" so avoided everything but weed, for fear of losing myself, of becoming addicted.

I hope he sees the error of it and cleans himself up at least a little.

""I hope he sees the error of it and cleans himself up at least a little.""

He is. More than a little. It's wierd, FF, you'd have to know him.

""I DONT KNOW HIM.
none of us on here REALLY KNOWS anybody on here.
we just go by what WE THINK you are saying.....""

I had no idea. You're so right. Thanks for enlightening me. 🙂

95% of all druggies can't stay clean.

They are experiencing something that % 95 people wouldn't understand why or how or even what.

So what's the catch..??

When was the last time you went to the bed without thinking..?

Stop judging people with the addiction problems..! they are what they are as you are what you are.

the drug addict is A SELFISH ASSHOLE.

they are VERY caught up in WHY WHY WHY is their life so complicated?

Again? you are judging people and their circumstances and their life experiences..!

Who the hell you think you are to judge people with their addictions..??

God or something..??

>FC, still, give the guy a chance. he is trying to mend his ways. if someone is trying to come back on track, it does mean that inner strength is present. for only a few can come back from that hell forever.i would respect a man who came out clean from drug abuse, because it is even tougher to struggle your way back, than from just staying away from the dope.just my 2 cents

My addiction was online RPG's. Everquest ruled my life from 2000 to 2005. I realized the error of my ways. I realized to enjoy REAL life, I needed to stop the fantasy. It was a great ride while it lasted. But I'll never go back, unless I become bedridden, or get too old to ride horses... MMORPG's are great fun, but are like a drug... they numb you to real life, and real relationships.
