Well, dealing with the bad side of Virgo personality was quite a journey for me. I’ve got a close friend who’s a Virgo, and boy, did I experience all those so – called “bad traits” up close.
First off, I noticed how overly critical they were. Every little thing had to be perfect. I remember one time when we were decorating a room for a party. I thought we were doing a great job, but my Virgo friend started nitpicking about the placement of the balloons, saying they weren’t straight enough. I was like, “Come on, it’s a party, not a military inspection!”
I decided to dig deeper into how to handle this. I read some articles and talked to a few experts. One expert said that when a Virgo gets overly critical, it’s often because they have high standards for themselves and others. So, I started trying to redirect their focus.
When they would start complaining about something, I’d say, “Hey, look at all the great things we’ve done so far. This little thing doesn’t really matter in the big picture.” And you know what? It worked sometimes. But other times, they were still stuck in their perfectionist mode.
Another issue was their tendency to over – analyze. We’d be making a simple decision, like where to go for dinner, and they’d start listing all the pros and cons of every single restaurant in the area. It was driving me crazy! I learned from another expert that Virgos have a hard time making decisions because they’re afraid of making the wrong one.
So, I started to give them limited options. Instead of saying, “Where do you want to eat?” I’d say, “Do you want Italian or Chinese?” That way, they didn’t have to over – think it too much. And it helped speed up the decision – making process.
As time went on, I also realized that Virgos can be a bit too self – sacrificing. They’d always put others’ needs before their own. I once saw my friend work late into the night to help a colleague, even though they were exhausted themselves.
I told them, “You need to take care of yourself first. You can’t keep burning the candle at both ends.” And slowly, they started to understand that it’s okay to say no sometimes.
Overall, dealing with the bad side of Virgo personality was a process of learning and patience. It wasn’t easy, but by using the advice from experts and being persistent, I was able to have a better relationship with my Virgo friend. And I’m sure these tips can work for others too if they’re dealing with a Virgo in their life.
