I'm not bossy. I'm the boss. Virgo women are you controlling?
Don't forget tea and vitamins.

Posted by Hypnotoad

You have to eat your vegetables before you can go on dxp.

I can get irritated if things don't go my way because my way is the best and the most logical. It's for your own good. Don't you want the best possible result?

I usually could care less. But don't ask for my opinion and then cry when you decide not to take my advice.
Really??? I didn't know!

You checked me out, didn't you?

Your Aries moon talking.

"Leo is a sign of exuberance, warmth of heart, and generosity. What makes yours different from other Jupiter signs is the big-hearted Leo energies in abundance. These traits are super-sized when Jupiter is in Leo and can get you through times of darkness or extreme challenge. You are also a light in the dark for others, helping them to see their unique spark when they are blind to it."

Probably has Leo in them (alot of Virgos do).

And no. Everyone's doing a fabulous job destroying themselves. 😈

>🙂

My point was that you told me that I'm an Aries moon as if I didn't already know that.

Yes. Just get it done. Then I'll be satisfied and move on. I'll be a more enjoyable person afterwards. I had an ex once tell me that as the years in our relationship went by I became sharper and stronger. It annoyed him. At that point I was too done with his inability to gain control of situations in his life that could easily and quickly be resolved for his own betterment.

I think it's a matter of perspective. Virgo women are refined, thinking things through on a granular level and teasing out what won't work. But this is for everything that they do, all of the time. It's innate and can also be exhaustive. So when speaking, what comes across is the simplified version which is short and to the point. It's with the purpose of fulfilling a goal, no emotional thought involved. So for people who may not operate in the same space, this can come across as cold, detached and mean. The reality is that Virgo women are very loving, caring people, but it's shown in ways that are not conventionally associated with love, affection, and intimacy. This is why I think Virgo women are seen as bossy. We just need the thing to get done.Period. I'm a Virgo moon btw.

I seem reactive and immature? Look who's back? You. Sounds like you described yourself.

And you'll be back too....after you bend over and eat your own nuts.

I'll wait....

I'm aware that I've given unsolicited advice. But I've learned from that.....and sometimes to a fault because I tend to put up with the one that I care about becoming complacent.

I go swimming with a virgo and I just like swimming I don't care if I'm good at it or not but every single time she advises me on how to improve my stroke 😅 She can't seem to comprehend that I might be happy just swimming along without trying to "perfect" my swimming style

This is what I think eludes virgos . You're trying to help but sometimes we just want to do things our own inefficient way because it's life and you don't get medals for being perfect . We don't care about being perfect 😄

And you're right. I over-analyze. Its tiring. So I eventually let it go. Just do what you do.

Sorry but the tone and the delivery matters more than the good intention plus people cannot read your thoughts so thry dont know your reasoning, no you are not seen as bossy as you say if you talk bossy you are mean and bossy.

And if you took the time to talk to people about your reasoning they might disagree with you on what the dedired result is. And expecting that people want or should want your result is presumptous and overbearing not caring. And therefore telling people whatthe rught goal Iis how they fuck and what to do to acvomplish YOUR DEsIRED OUTCOME in a concise is bossy and mean. Own your bad sides dont explain it away.

Work wise...kinda sorta. Just depends on what's going on. Ive trained people to do things the way I do them but at their own pace and let them know they can tweak things to their style . I want people to succeed but also know that my exact way might not be for everyone but I'd still like to see similarities only so that we are all on the sameish page.

There have also been times where I felt someone couldn't do something and it would be more of a hassle to clean up the mess later and so I would just do it myself whether or not my plate was already full.

Inside a bottle right now. 😎 ✌🏻

But I meant it last time: I don't see myself as bossy (but I'm not at the other extreme end of being a pushover Virgo either). I control what I know I can. People are just not one of them. I'm already a handful for myself.

'teasing out what won't work'

if only most people understood that's just part of our nature

things i say might sound simplified but they're often quite experimental

in that, i'm constantly trying to figure something out
as for the question,

i'm not controlling of people BUT

i'm very controlling of situations
Can't really control people. When I'm in love I feel like I'll do anything for my lover. When I was younger I had a boyfriend that I did let control me. That was my first real relationship. Back when I was young and quiet.

I wouldn't say controlling, more about being thorough, not being able to let go when it is not your problem, or you are not responsible. I have started to realize that even when you have good intentions, people don't want you to give solutions to their problems or point out any problems in the first place if they are not directly related to you or impact anything you are doing. It's okay, if people want your input they will ask for it, you can still continue doing the best for that which you are responsible for. Just need to stop looking at how others do things. They are doing just fine, and people always figure out things their own way. Their ways might be better too. Like not being stuck trying to make everything perfect. It is bit liberating to not take everything seriously, or not thinking about things that you are not directly responsible for.

I feel like people get irritated with Virgos period. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. After thinking more about this I’ve realized I control what I know that I can, and what I can’t, I can’t.

It’s fine to try to soften ur words or slow down when explaining it to those people but honestly heck it. We can’t change everything about ourselves all the time.

It saddens me because you guys are super talented and you really do make things absolutely perfect but sometimes you focus soooo much on all the details that you forget about the big picture

I had an ex- virgo friend who had a youtube channel and people loved the inherent quality of her content but she'd spend so long focussing on the little things that her views never went up because she wouldn't just do the things that would work to help her channel grow. She wouldn't compromise her perfection standards despite it working against her

I tried to explain to her that it's youtube and if you don't get someone's attention quickly and make the vid watchable for the typical online adhd sufferers then you're going to struggle

I made the mistake of trying to advise her how to "loosen up" and relax her perfection tendencies and let go of the need to take care of every single detail - all in the aim of getting more views

We are now no longer friends 😅🙄😒

"sometimes you focus soooo much on all the details that you forget about the big picture" you are absolutely right about this. We get stuck on the details. I think it shows when there are less issues in the end product, but no one cares for perfect, sometimes it is quantity over quality. not always but in the bigger picture, like you said. Focus needs to be on what is important and not is it perfect. And yes, it is hard accepting negative feedback, even though it may not be negative, because we have already worked so hard that it feels like our efforts or sincerity is being questioned. I know I can be my own worst enemy sometimes. Big Grin

It depends what it is. Sometimes perfection is absolutely called for and then you guys are the best because you really do notice every single part of the project. Carving a magnificent sculpture , for example , every single tiny detail matters

But carry that kind of attention to detail over to more mundane everyday things and it ends up becoming slightly neurotic (from a non-virgo's viewpoint)

The irony is you advise people because you want to help them do things better and we attempt to advise you because we want to see you get more rewarded for your efforts. I wouldn't tell a virgo how to do something better but I'd want to help them do things in a way that will let them get more rewarded for their work in real terms rather than just their own satisfaction of being 100% pleased that their work is faultless. That's what I mean about the big picture

I can tell you understand where virgos come from. Virgos value that a lot. smile I do get what you mean want to see get more rewarded. So I think along with losing out on the rewards, this nature also causes virgos to be taken granted of.

Yes. Something so easy can become so complicated. Thats why I take an entire day to clean my condo. Where some can clean quickly (I call it surface cleaning) I have to move everything and get into the nooks and crannies and sterilize. As I am in the process it's irritating even to myself.

As far as your youtube friend.....if that were me I'd totally be open to suggestions if my channel weren't going well. Actually, I ask for suggestions and ideas from many people all of the time. I like to hear other perspectives.

I feel like people get irritated with the details that virgos get into? Like my mind will start running all scenarios in my head and people who know me might already want me to stop that train of thought and just go step by step instead of all steps at once.


It saddens me because you guys are super talented and you really do make things absolutely perfect but sometimes you focus soooo much on all the details that you forget about the big picture

I had an ex- virgo friend who had a youtube channel and people loved the inherent quality of her content but she'd spend so long focussing on the little things that her views never went up because she wouldn't just do the things that would work to help her channel grow. She wouldn't compromise her perfection standards despite it working against her

I tried to explain to her that it's youtube and if you don't get someone's attention quickly and make the vid watchable for the typical online adhd sufferers then you're going to struggle

I made the mistake of trying to advise her how to "loosen up" and relax her perfection tendencies and let go of the need to take care of every single detail - all in the aim of getting more views

We are now no longer friends 😅🙄😒


"sometimes you focus soooo much on all the details that you forget about the big picture" you are absolutely right about this. We get stuck on the details. I think it shows when there are less issues in the end product, but no one cares for perfect, sometimes it is quantity over quality. not always but in the bigger picture, like you said. Focus needs to be on what is important and not is it perfect. And yes, it is hard accepting negative feedback, even though it may not be negative, because we have already worked so hard that it feels like our efforts or sincerity is being questioned. I know I can be my own worst enemy sometimes. Big Grin

There it is.....sincerity. I love and care so deeply and everything I do is sincere. Sometimes just sitting and staring into my lovers eyes means a lot to me.

I wonder why can't people just allow me to be sincere? I am accepting of other people's quirks. I dont point out their flaws. I just want them to allow me to show them how it is that I love.

Honestly sometimes and sometimes not. Depends.

It depends what it is. Sometimes perfection is absolutely called for and then you guys are the best because you really do notice every single part of the project. Carving a magnificent sculpture , for example , every single tiny detail matters

But carry that kind of attention to detail over to more mundane everyday things and it ends up becoming slightly neurotic (from a non-virgo's viewpoint)

The irony is you advise people because you want to help them do things better and we attempt to advise you because we want to see you get more rewarded for your efforts. I wouldn't tell a virgo how to do something better but I'd want to help them do things in a way that will let them get more rewarded for their work in real terms rather than just their own satisfaction of being 100% pleased that their work is faultless. That's what I mean about the big picture


I can tell you understand where virgos come from. Virgos value that a lot. smile I do get what you mean want to see get more rewarded. So I think along with losing out on the rewards, this nature also causes virgos to be taken granted of.


Yeh and that makes you really sad doesn't it? to be unappreciated?

I have spent a lot of time (and talking lol) with virgos so yeh I do get their way of thinking to a certain extent. I'm also quite a fan. I think they're generally really smart, kind, quality people. I'm sure there's some exceptions lol

Did your Virgo ex constantly express her sadness to you? I've never heard of sadness being a characteristic of Virgos.
