I was chatting with Moo while attempting to do my work at Starbucks with the crew and Moo and I touched upon the topic on feeling inadequate.
We Virgos have it hard...we really do. Simply because we're such perfectionists, nothing will satisfy us. We make mountains out of molehills over the simplest stuff.
We probably have so much pent up frustration and anger that occasionally leaks out when we start feeling inadequate. I don't know about the others but I definitely do. Instead of feeling upset with the world, I get angry with it. Yeah, lame excuse, I know. But when you have no one else to blame but yourself, you start pinning the blame on others and the rest of the world.
There are times in my life where I start undermining myself and wish I had it all.
I feel inadequate because:
- I'm not good-looking enough
- I'm not earning enough
- I don't have a good bod
- My hair is dropping
- My skin's not flawless
- I have no boobs
- My skin is drying up
- I have a huge tummy
- I have too much hair
- I've got pointy ears
- I hate the fact that I'm the major breadwinner
- I'm not getting any younger
- I'm not smart enough
- Neither am I intelligent enough
- I'm not extremely talented
- I've got big feet
- I keep growing pimples
- My teeth is not straight and pearly white
What? I'm entitled to rant right? No matter how superficial. Even if I could complain about deeper, philosophical topics, I would still end up saying I'm just not adequate enough.
It sucks and it's simply because of my constant pursuit of perfection. Everything has to be perfect, everything has to be in order. It's regimental but that's how it is. But of course, nothing's perfect right? Hence we Virgos are here to put things in order and to attain the non-existent perfection.
Barghh..it's one of those moods.

i wonder if it helps that I think you are pretty enough (and I am sure I am not the only one who thinks this way!)and that you are smart and intelligent too! Come on, you have a full time job and doing a masters! Not an easy feat in my opinion.
Maybe if you stress less, you will have less pimples! They pop according to moods most times!
Do you need to be extremely talented? How many are anyway? You just need to know that you are loved by many in spite of all your flaws (in your head).
Nobody grows younger! Unless you are Benjamin Button but judging from the show, growing young may not be such a good thing when everyone else is growing old!
Big feet! Hmmmm.... I really can't say much about that... maybe you can wear flare pants to hide them? ;)
