His Achilles Heel is in His Mind

He’s Concrete about His Ideas

He Lacks Creativity

A Virgo man can seem like a walking encyclopedia. Yet one thing often lacking from his brilliant mind is creativity. He’s not one to think outside the box. He needs to follow rules and orders.

A Virgo man often lacks the creativity to take risks. He will try to abide by rigid rules, even if they are unrealistic. He doesn’t like to take chances. Sometimes this helps him to maintain health and stability.

Other times, this is a liability. He can be so unimaginative that he doesn’t know how to solve problems when his typical, rational solutions don’t work. A Virgo man can struggle to see his way through unorthodox situations.

He’s Emotionally Disconnected

If a Virgo man says he misses you, it’s definitely a sign he cares. He would never say this if he doesn’t mean it. Other Virgo man crush signs are less obvious because he hides his emotions.

If you want to know how to break a Virgo man’s heart, one sure way is to betray what trust he does place in you or play on the limited emotions he does show. This is not a good idea if you want a chance with him.

A Virgo man is likely to show as little emotion as possible because he actually is more sensitive than he lets on. He knows emotion makes him vulnerable so he will hide his feelings.

If you betray him or exploit his emotions, he will never trust you again. He will shut down immediately and hide any emotion he was ever willing to show.

A Virgo man is particularly emotionally detached. Every time he does show emotion, he is giving you a glimpse of his weak spot. If you respect his sensitivity and don’t take advantage of him, he will know he can trust you.

If you take advantage of him in any way, however, he will remember this and will lose all faith in you. You may have gotten a glimpse of his weakness but if you don’t respect him he may disappear.

He Expects the Best in Others

You may wonder why this is a weakness. Isn’t it good to have high expectations of others? What makes this a weakness for a Virgo man however is that his high ideals can leave him shocked.

If someone has bad intentions and is out to hurt or take advantage of him, he’ll never see it coming. He will be thrown off balance because he would never imagine someone acting with impropriety.

When a Virgo man expects the best in others, he will be shocked to find that others are more duplicitous or cruel than he imagined. He takes others at face value.

This gives him an enormous blind spot. He doesn’t see the potential for danger in relationships because he’s so busy looking for practical threats, he overlooks the potential for danger from you.

He plays by the rules and fights fair. Therefore he expects that others will do the same. Yet he doesn’t recognize threats from others who would manipulate or play mind games. His high standards can be a liability.

He Can be Anxious

As intelligent as a Virgo man is, he will make bad judgment calls because of his ongoing stream of anxiety. He’s always anxious, though he tries to keep it under control.

Yet his steady state of caution and anxiety is a detriment in the long run. It’s exhausting and it drains his resources. A Virgo man will also eventually be distracted by his anxiety. This will lead him to make crucial mistakes.

Often those mistakes undermine all his effort and scrutiny. As much as he tries to be perfect and always do the best thing, his anxiety will inevitably lead him to make careless mistakes. This makes him vulnerable.

He Misses the Big Picture

On that note, a Virgo man is also detail oriented. He gets lost when he scours the minor details of a situation. His attention is drawn away from the larger picture.

A common weakness of a Virgo man is he is so busy looking for tiny fires to put out that he misses the larger conflagration right in front of him. He can get distracted from seeing the full situation.

This puts him in a delicate place where his judgment and intellect work against him. In a relationship, this can occur when he gets so caught up over small details that he nitpicks away.

In doing so, he loses perspective on the relationship at large. He may also lose track of what his conflicts were actually about. He may then be susceptible to manipulation or prone to making too big a deal over nothing.

He Can be a Workaholic

One of the techniques a Virgo man uses to detach from his emotions is to lose himself in work. This makes a Virgo man a great employee. He will go to great lengths to complete any task on his agenda.

He’s diligent and focused and takes great pride in getting his work done. Yet his workaholic nature is a weakness. It keeps him from developing deeper relationships. It can also interfere with his love life.

He does this subconsciously to distract himself from intimacy and to avoid more personal, vulnerable emotions. Yet like most defense mechanisms, when he overdoes it, this technique will backfire.

He will end up getting so detached and absorbed into work that the very issues he tried to avoid may become more intense. His conflicts with loved ones may worsen. He may create a self-fulfilling prophecy in which he is betrayed.

A Virgo man may also find that his issues have escalated while his attention was focused on work. If he doesn’t balance his love of work and his need to pay attention to his personal life, a Virgo man can make big mistakes.

He Can be Health Conscious but Highly Stressed

While a Virgo man can be very concerned about making healthy choices, all his attention to diet and healthy living can be compromised. This is because he isn’t good at balance and stress management.

He may need to learn to relax and manage his anxiety. If he doesn’t, a Virgo man’s weaknesses of insecurity and fear can become the driving factors behind his decisions.

When a Virgo man makes decisions based on fear or stress, he will make poor choices. He won’t be able to maintain his high standards and intellectual focus. He may become sleep deprived and vulnerable to illness as well because of unregulated stress.
