4 Things People Don’t Realize You’re Doing Because You’re A Virgo

As an earth sign, dear Virgo, you are grounded, reliable, and secure. You hold yourself and others to impossibly high standards but still are quite loving, kind, and generous.

Here are 4 things people don’t realize you’re doing because you’re a Virgo:

You are a perfectionist — and you make that known.

You are quite meticulous and you pay attention to every small detail which makes you a great planner and organizer. You want things to go smoothly and efficiently and for things to be in their perfect little place. If you’re not in control, you tend to get a bit anxious and irritable.

Since you have such a keen eye for detail, you notice things that others don’t. This is great, however, you can be overly critical, often judging people and pointing out things that need to be fixed. To you, this is tough love. You mean well — you just want to help people become their best selves.

You will always show up for people when they need you.

Whether it be in the workplace, with family, or in a friendship or relationship, you’re always there for people.

At work, you’re reliable, hardworking, and practical. You make your to-do lists and you get shit done — and your boss loves you for it. With family and friends, you’re the go-to person for advice because you have a realistic perspective on things. You keep it real and you tell people what they need to hear — and sometimes, that’s more important than fluffing them up with delusions.

You’re an overthinker.

You are incredibly anxious all of the time. You’re an overthinker, looking at things from every possible angle. You’re not confident in yourself at all, either — you take a long time to make decisions, you second-guess yourself, and you worry about every little thing you’ve ever said and done.

You’re very loyal and selfless — almost to a fault.

When it comes to relationships, you’re the type to be all in with someone (once you’ve fully overanalyzed and confirmed you made the right decision). While you’re not necessarily the most romantic zodiac sign, you’re still incredibly loyal and supportive. You’ll take care of your partner and make sure they’re happy. While this is great, you tend to put their needs before your own.

This selflessness and kindness go beyond relationships, though. You tend to have people-pleasing tendencies. You like to feel useful, so you will go above and beyond to help others if you can. You forget to take care of yourself first sometimes.
