5. That explains a lot

I have a Virgo moon. I try to have empathy and compassion but I turn cold inside if I think I'm being emotionally manipulated. I just disengage somehow.

Often I have felt repelled and pulled in at the same time over hugging someone who is crying. I want to comfort them but I can't reward behavior that feels too needy.

It's an internal struggle.
