Virgos are too hard on themselves.

They say an individual's toughest critic is theirself, and that sentiment's multiplied tenfold when you consider how adept Virgos are at being critical. As a Virgo, I think your fault and attribute is one and the same; you're overly analytical. That same trait that makes you beautifully curious, attentive to details and perceptive, also makes you deliberate too long and dwell on trite matters.

I think if more Virgos came to the realization that perfection is an intangible concept and one that most people don't expect from you, they'd feel better about themselves. The people that care about you don't anticipate that your duty is to create and maintain impossible ideals. They don't want you to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. They simply want you to be happy. This doesn't denote that I suggest you become less ambitious, because that drive is integral to your character, but if there's one thing you should be more of, is forgiving. Sometimes to others, but most of all, to yourself. 🙂

Haha. Aw, I'm not trying to nitpick! I just think a lot of Virgos expectations of themselves are so grand that there's no alternative BUT to never fulfill them and feel inadequate as a result.

I thought the title clarified what I'm talking about >.>

Hey she's not having a go dude. If anything it's a compliment

I am always being told I am my worse enemy...I hate being hard on myself..but now that I am older..I use it to get myself in order..and get me in order..but I take it more of....ok...look at this..was it worth it? Now either keep it or chuck up duece to it. I am kinda glad I got it in check now..it keeps me balanced.

So true.
Ive been so hard on myself all my life.
Ive felt every failure and owned up to some that havent even been mine.
I still havent truly forgiven myself for losing a friendship.

Someday I will fully forgive myself but its been 16 years in the making.
Oh well...shit happens, or so ive been told.

But because we live in our minds..we can create a worse picture then what it is. Our minds go 1000 miles an hour at times. I can't sleep everyone once in a while till I calm myself down. I have to tell my mind look time to shut down then I am good. Thus balance. I fault myself hard in my romantic areas but I had to learn somethings. I take it now as a lession the stressing..
