Okay, so this popped up online – “Famous Virgo Traits Check These Common Behaviors Now”. Being a solid Virgo myself, I kinda rolled my eyes but also got curious. You know, like when someone talks about you behind your back? Gotta know what they’re saying. Figured I’d actually check how much of it fits, no sugarcoating.
My Method Was Simple Stupid
First thing, I grabbed a plain notebook – not a fancy journal, just something lying around. Needed to do this quick and real before I overthink it like we usually do. Went looking for lists. Didn’t dig deep, just grabbed the first five points almost every dumb article mentions: overthinking, perfectionism, practical problem-solving, critical, and organized.
Then Came The Real Look In The Mirror
Sat down after dinner. No music, no distractions. Just me and that notebook. Went point by point:
Overthinking? Hell yeah. Wrote down what I worried about yesterday. That text from my sister? Analyzed it six ways. The weird noise the car made? Planned repair shops, costs, and backup bus routes – before even opening the hood. Sketching that out… felt stupidly accurate.
Perfectionism? Tried to think about work. Remembered how I spent thirty minutes adjusting the spacing in that damn email header last week because it “looked off”. Almost missed sending it on time. Yep, guilty as charged. Wrote that down too.
Practical Problem Solving? This one hit different. When the sink clogged last month, I didn’t panic. Immediately grabbed the plunger, then baking soda and vinegar when that didn’t work. Had it sorted before calling a plumber even crossed my mind. Noticed a tiny smirk when I wrote this one – felt kinda good.
Critical? Oof. Thought about that movie last weekend. Spent the whole drive home ripping apart the plot holes. My friend just shrugged, said it was “fine”. My brain went straight to detective mode. Wrote that down… added “maybe chill sometimes???” beside it. Felt necessary.
Organized? Looked at my workspace. Pens sorted by color. Folders labeled. Calendar color-coded. Even my spice rack is alphabetical. Yeah… no fighting it. Wrote “definitely” and underlined it twice.
What It Actually Showed Me
Closing the notebook felt weird. Some of it stung – especially the overthinking and critical bits. They ain’t exactly charming traits. But seeing the practical, organized stuff written plain? That felt… useful. Like those annoying articles accidentally showed me my strengths too.
Honestly? Most of it fit tighter than my favorite sweater. Annoying? Sometimes. Useful? Hell yes. Wasn’t about changing anything right then. Just seeing the pattern, understanding the engine better. Might actually help me catch myself next time I’m dissecting movie plots at midnight.
