Does this mean he doesn't like you anymore or is this just a Virgo trait I need to learn to live with. I am a Leo. I read another topic on this forum that said Leos are narcissistic. My boyfriend says much the same thing. But I am not a narcissist. I think he just takes my personality the wrong way. I am finding myself constantly on egg shells trying to tone down my outgoing talkative personality. I am putting more effort into this relationship than he realizes and I truly love him. Are Virgos just like this or does this mean he doesn't like me? How do I get along with him better? I am really trying to work on being a better listener but I don't think he sees how hard I'm trying.

At the core we want you to do better. Sometimes we come off as a dick because it is said in the wrong way and of course sometimes not said at all. If it is hurting you at all then you need to let him know that in order for him to curve the amount of criticism to a minimum.

It's hard for me to talk to him about this. I think he feels like I'm not listening to him. I don't know if the problem is me or him. He is right. Leos do tend to take over conversations and make everything about them. But I am finding myself not being able to have a conversation at all without worrying. Did I interrupt him? Am I making it about me? I'm finding myself uncomfortable talking at all. At some point I may talk to him about how I feel but going into our relationship he warned me he could be an asshole. So that's what I'll probably get out of the conversation.

Red flags. Please don't change who you are to satisfy someone else's insecurities or control issues. I was in a similar position once.

This 💯

I'm dating a Virgo and he does not treat me like this. Yes he might point out things but usually he is right(dont tell him that lmao) but we discuss it and he does not call me names.

He doesn't call me names. I honestly think his intentions are sincere. He is not the first person to point some of my flaws out.

You mentioned you are trying to tone down your talkative and outgoing personality. How talkative are you and how outgoing are you? Maybe both of you aren't on the same page. Like for example if he is the introvert type, he wouldn't want you to keep talking and talking when he's trying to relax and think. Maybe he's not the type who likes going out and meeting other people, while you always want to be out with friends. Why would he call you narcissistic? Can you give an example of a situation? Do you always talk about yourself or how amazing you are even when he didn't want to listen?

Just want to see both sides of things. Of course you are telling us the situation based on your perspective. But that also means it's limited info and biased story.

I don't want to post too much of my personal life but I'm politically active. I've run for office and have a large fb following. I think this is why he thinks I am narcissistic. I recently stopped using fb because I'm tired of the scrutiny. He was attracted to me because of my confidence and now I feel like he hates that part of me.

Another bit, you were with a Scorp before this and the scorp is equally as bad according to you. It's either you are attracted to people with strong personalities or you, being the common factor, see it as you are never at fault with things. Please help us understand more so we can give you a sound advise.

Yes I have a strong personality. I am attracted to men with strong personalities. I don't mind his criticism but I wanted to know if this a character trait. If this is just how Virgos are I can handle that. I just don't want to worry all the time.

My father was a Virgo. He never criticized me.

He was strict though but as I got older, I became the parent and had to scold him because he would not take care of himself.



I had one Virgo bf and he was a complete asshole. He perused me relentlessly and when I gave in, he treated me badly. That relationship didn’t last more than two months - I dumped him.

He contacted me several years later apologizing for how he treated me. I forgave him and moved on.

on behalf of all virgos, I'm sorry. we do do this lol... normally it comes from a good place though.

If it's hurting you, you need to communicate that.. like everything in your original post, should be a conversation starter.

We may not take it pleasantly but we are receptive to that kind of feedback.. if we care the last thing we want to do is make our beloved feel hurt all the time or that they can't be comfortable around us.

Which really goes for anyone.


☝️ This

It's when we stop you should be worried but you should never have to walk on egg shells in your relationship.

Stop allowing Mutable Suns to think their opinion matters. They often are worried about dumb, trivial shit.

Also, if you aren’t a narcissist then stop reading up on forums mentioning your sign is. Those are often one-sided narratives.

An ‘outgoing talkative personality’ isn’t any indication that you’re a narcissist. I would not try to change or tone down that.

Dating a virgo, man or woman or even being around one will knock your confidence down MANY notches. Your self esteem will get damaged. You will never hold your head high like you did before you got with them.

I've seen it many times. Like a leech, they'll suck out all your good mental vitamins. Every critical remark will suck the life out of you while feeding their sick, dark ego. You'll come out a different person than you went in. And not in a good way.

This is absolutely dramatic and narrow minded perspective.

(From leo moon?)...🙄

Virgo critic can be annoying but they never meant any harm. So it's better you see things how it is and you will never be negatively effected ☀️

To put things in perspective I have severe anxiety. He's pretty understanding about that.

I really appreciate all your comments. It has been very helpful. I have never dated a Virgo and he is very different than any other guy that I have been with. (He is only my 4th boyfriend) Some of the qualities that give me anxiety are also the reasons I like him. I was attracted to my Scorpio ex for similar reasons. I like honesty in a relationship. Virgos are very honest even if they hurt your feelings. I honestly can handle criticism. I just want him to like me. Knowing that this is a Virgo trait makes me feel more secure in our relationship. I don't think Virgos give up on relationships very easily and neither do Leos (not with someone we love) so I really do think we will be able to improve our relationship. Asking questions helps me to understand him better. Thank you for all the commments.

^This please communicate!

I would like to add to and build on this.

Seeing the ways to improve things is useful. I'm very good at that. There was a time where I would just say stuff to that effect BUT in a not constructive manner. Which is very bad idea. Very few see past that. Especially leo energy.

I kept getting bad reactions. I have learned to instead focus and communicate the solutions rather then the problems. This realizations and change came about because I learned the hard way through loss and with the few people who spoke up to me and told me what I was doing and it's effect.

You can help him out with this as well. He needs to learn it's not what you say but how you say it that matters most. Hash it out talk to him. He might get defensive but that's ok. Tell him you know he means well it's just his delivery needs work.

Another piece if advice if this also applies to him.

Murphy's Law came to mind. I am excellent at spotting possible problems. But a totally party pooper because they way I went about it. If he is this way too then use this trick and mindset. Everything is probability nothing is really impossible. Do things to make what you want and don't want to happen though. Not much in life is in your control. You have to accept that to play the game well. You can. However effect the odds though 😁

Your comment was very helpful. I wish I had known more about Virgos going into this relationship. I had read that Leos and Virgos were not compatible but I'm not going to let astrology decide who I love. I have a strong emotional connection with him that I haven't had before. We talked a little last night.

Virgos think things through before they talk. I am always a few steps behind. When I slow down and listen\let him talk we communicate better. I am not used to this. My ex and I had a very different relationship. He didn't communicate. So I appreciate this and I've told him.

This is going to sound contradictory but it's really not. Don't be subservient. Following blindy.

You both need to understand each other. Also understand your both human and can be wrong. Everyone has natural strengths and weaknesses and areas to improve in. It's important to focus on understanding so you can make the best educated/informed decisions. The better you know and understand each other the better you will do together as individuals.

^This.

I can tell you from experience as a Virgo, with a family of Virgos and having dated Virgos...we are gentle about suggestions when it comes to what qualifies as improvement in someone else's life...and any Virgo worth their salt will second guess their approach because they know people have free agency in their lives.

If they don't, then they seek control and you better get out before you become a shadow of your former self.

We have a long distance relationship. I have stayed with him for a month twice now. I am doing a lot better in my own home. I don't think he has a clue how his criticism was affecting my self esteem. Yeh he was killing my shine but I'm getting it back together. I love him. All relationships take work and communication. I'm starting to do my own thing and be myself again. He can learn to accept me like I accept him or eventually this isn't going to work.

My self confidence isn't narcissm. It's my personality. I have talked to several of my close friends about this, including a Virgo friend. I have a lot of people who love me exactly the way I am. None of my friends think I'm narcissistic, just him.

I am actually grateful for constructive criticism but people who love you build you up, don't tear you down. I really hope our relationship works but I am getting back to being me. I have felt a lot happier.

My research on Virgo has helped me a whole lot. I'm starting to understand him and not let this bug me so much.

Does this mean he doesn't like you anymore or is this just a Virgo trait I need to learn to live with. I am a Leo. I read another topic on this forum that said Leos are narcissistic. My boyfriend says much the same thing. But I am not a narcissist. I think he just takes my personality the wrong way. I am finding myself constantly on egg shells trying to tone down my outgoing talkative personality. I am putting more effort into this relationship than he realizes and I truly love him. Are Virgos just like this or does this mean he doesn't like me? How do I get along with him better? I am really trying to work on being a better listener but I don't think he sees how hard I'm trying.

Dating a virgo, man or woman or even being around one will knock your confidence down MANY notches. Your self esteem will get damaged. You will never hold your head high like you did before you got with them.

I've seen it many times. Like a leech, they'll suck out all your good mental vitamins. Every critical remark will suck the life out of you while feeding their sick, dark ego. You'll come out a different person than you went in. And not in a good way.

This is what happened to me when I dated a Virgo. My self esteem was in the toilet in no time and remained there throughout the relationship. I felt like I was always walking on eggshells and he was also seeing other girls behind my back.

At the core we want you to do better. Sometimes we come off as a dick because it is said in the wrong way and of course sometimes not said at all. If it is hurting you at all then you need to let him know that in order for him to curve the amount of criticism to a minimum.


I am not sure about that. Virgos also tend to have an idealized perfectionist version in their heads that fits their criterias.

So isnt that more about molding the person to their image? And if it isnt, i am still sceptical cause playing a lifecoach

is something very few people are comfortable with. And it does tear into your selfesteem and wellbeing to constantly

hear stingy negative comments.

Talk to him, I can be critical and nitpicky because I think I am helping. Usually it does the opposite but I wouldn't know unless I am being told. Tell him how it makes you feel when he does it. If he's not willing to be more aware of it and tone it down then yes you'll need to reconsider. I remember when I first started dating my gem he said it was like walking on eggshells, when he said that I really geared up and try my best to be aware of my behavior. Its a red flag if the person isn't willing to change or be more mindful to consider your feelings because it shows they don't care and that hurts.

Not to be mean but maybe you are not very compatible? It sounds like you are trying to please him and change for him but it's not making you happy. In an ideal relationship, you should both be pushing each other to become a better happier version. I don't think his criticism are being constructive for you. As a leo, I think you should be with someone who challenges you through your natural competitive drive and not through constant criticism. But that's just astrology though. 🤨
