Just revisiting an old topic that arose on a thread on Virgos... or rather a thread that kinda turned into a thread about Virgos. A lot of people seem to think Virgos are "bitches" or have a side to them that is immensely "bitchy". As a Virgo, I'd like to just attempt to try and justify this a bit. A key aspect of the Virgo personality is a highly analytical - and thus critical - outlook on all of life's situations. We hold extremely high expectations to ourselves and others from the moment of our birth (my cousin's newborn is a Virgo and he's already exhibiting the alleged picky Virgo behavior) so there is no doubt that this is hardwired from birth. Although this mindset is great for analytical thinking and problem solving, it presents a major issue to the Virgo, which they discover within themselves at a very young age, and hold onto for the rest of their lives. It is something they do not share with anyone else: Its a major sense of disappointment in the world. There is no way on God's green earth, in this realm, during this lifetime, that ANY Virgo could possibly have all of their expectations met throughout the span of their entire lives. It's simply not possible. Their expectations are way too high. At some point or another, the Virgo is going to experience a major disappointment. Something is going to happen that is going to be a major let-down, and betray their trust in the world forever. This snowballs into an enormous subconscious clump of all of the little disappointments that the Virgo is going to continue to face when others (and even themselves) cannot be as perfect as the Virgo desires. Eventually, the Virgo becomes so used to disappointment that they don't even acknowledge the grief on a conscious level anymore. This may seem as if the Virgo has reached a point where they are just "over it", but this is never the case. The Virgo is NEVER over it. On some mental level, the grief is always there. And I believe that it is easy to say that this is a valid justification for the Virgo's eventual "bitchy" behavior. They bitch and/or act bitchy out of grief, disappointment, and spite. Over the course of so much time wasted being saddened and being critical of the disappointments that the Virgo experiences, they develop a certain bitterness that can very easily be taken as bitchiness. All of this in addition to the fact that a Virgo's key personality is one that can really easily come off as bitchy due to other various traits (cold, calculating, logical, factual, intolerant of anything they don't believe in or cannot be proved through scientific fact) can indeed make the Virgo seem highly bitchy. Hopefully some of this will offer insight into you other signs out there, and even my fellow Virgos as to why you may be getting the not-so-complimenting comment of "being a bitch". Just an added side-note: If you think your Virgo acquaintances are bi-polar or two-sided in their bitchiness, note this: Virgos want to be good people. It is another aspect of our hardwired personality. There is still that sense of, and desire for purity, within our hearts. A Virgo will very often try to ignore their critical eye, or cover up their grief for the sake of others. On a fundamental level, no Virgo wants to bring down the spirits of those around them, and they definitely do NOT want to come off as a killjoy. In fact, in their best moods, Virgos are highly charming, witty, and sociable. (Virgos can usually feel really misunderstood or ostracized by others, due to receiving comments like "they are a stick-in-the-mud" or "don't have a sense of humor". Virgos don't view themselves this way. As far as they are concerned, they are just as happy and lighthearted as everyone else.) So when you're totally put off by a Virgo you know because when you first encounter each other that day, they seem to be in perfectly good spirits, but by the time you're saying your goodbyes they are being more pissy than ever, you shouldn't jump straight to the conclusion that "omg they are such a bitch". 99.999999999999% of the time, something is really bothering them and they are too preoccupied worrying about it and experiencing grief, probably subconsciously, to be in a good mood. But of course there are other times when you can flat out call us bitches because sometimes, we just are.
meh. so's everyone else. it's called getting fed-up and annoyed and someone who doesn't like the reason you got fed-up and annoyed. people who don't mind your reasoning or think you're right don't consider it bitchy.
