Critical
Virgo’s apply very high standards onto themselves, and they also have the same high expectations of others that they have of themselves. When others fail to live up to or meet their expectations, Virgo’s can become critical and criticize the person due to their failure to meet their high standards.
Nitpicky
Virgo’s close attention to detail makes them notice things that are sometimes best left unnoticed. Virgo’s can get irritated with the habits of other people, and criticize them. If you chew too loud, if your hair is not cut right, if your skin is too oily, and if you dare to be late, you will hear about it from a Virgo!
Detached
Virgo’s do have powerful emotions; however, they do find it challenging to express how they feel. Virgo’s struggle to deal with other people’s feelings, especially when it comes to negative emotions such as anger and sadness. Due to this, they tend to detach themselves from getting emotionally involved, and seem cold and distant, as getting involved can be overwhelming to them.
Workaholics
Virgo’s are not hard workers; they are workaholics. A Virgo will not rest until the job or task has been completed, and due to this, they can ignore their emotional, physical, and mental well-being. They have an all work and no play mentality, and they can be moody and highly strung as they never let loose.
Overthinkers
Ruled by the planet Mercury, Virgo’s have exceptionally fast and busy minds, however sometimes to their detriment. They can quickly become overwhelmed by their thoughts and constant over-analysis, and they struggle just to let things go when it is not worth worrying about. When a Virgo is obsessing about something, it can take them a long time to get over it.
Uptight
Virgo’s are incredibly responsible. They are always thinking of the things that other people tend to overlook, and they carry quite a lot of mental baggage with them. They are always thinking of how things can go wrong, and due to this, they can be apprehensive and controlling. Virgo’s can struggle to just live in the moment and let things be.
Self-righteous
Most Virgo’s work very hard, and they do a lot to improve the lives of other people. Virgo’s are entirely aware of how much they do, and they place themselves onto a high pedestal due to this. Many Virgo’s think they are morally superior compared to other people and can have a rather smug, holier-than-thou attitude due to this.
