You are your own worst critic at times, dear Virgo. You aim high, you hold up lofty and very stringent standards for yourself, and when you don't reach them, you punish yourself with guilt and regret - sometimes forever. You do have a great intellect, a stellar work ethic, and the ability to succeed, but you aren't as kind to yourself as you should be. You may now be lamenting a choice you made that does not seem to be working out as planned. Rather than pouring your energy into criticizing yourself, find another way to approach it and try again. Encourage yourself rather than punishing yourself.
