I'm curious as to how many Virgos have been told they are controlling and if so, did you agree? If you agreed with the statement, what leads you to act that way? If you don't agree, why do you think you come off that way to others? Finally, what would be the best approach (e.g. what could someone say to you), to get you to ease up a bit? Thanks in advance!

Haven't been called controlling (that I know of). But I have been told I'm critical, which I suppose is a version of controlling.
And yes, I agree, I am critical.

I don't find them controlling at all. They were never with me at least. And I come across a lot of them n been very good friends with many.
Oh yeah.. except for starwars in Daily Facts with starwars. That lil devil is controlling as hell!

They are controlling, however not for the sake of power, or dominance.
They are controlling, because they honestly believe they are in the right and that they know what is best for others. If they do not believe they are correct, or know the situation well, then they could be rather laid back individuals and make for great team members.
They are perfectionists, in such a way that they cannot stand anything less or anything not done their way, the right way, mind you. They honestly believe their sense of control, is so that everything will be done for the best of everyone.
Our "serving" nature makes us bossy. It's not about having control or imposing our will, it's actually about taking our advice. We offer help (even thought nobody asked heh) and, for some reason, we tend to think we are always right. Therefore, we might believe we are helping when we are just bossing arround. But always with the best of intentions.
