My grandfather in particular will not complain of anything if he is in pain, or "struggling" with money, he will be in a very foul mood and neglect talking to anyone, though.
Same goes for my boyfriend, he requires a lot of space during hard times. He always tells me he wants me to be there, but he doesn't want me to try to fix his problems. I find they all like doing things the hard way. haha.You have to bear with them.

I never actually thought about this, exactly this way.

You can't ask that of them anymore than they could ask you to shut up about your feelings and keep them to yourself.

Think about it.

There are perceptive people who can look past outer appearance and see what lies inside, and they aren't asking a person to change. The people who judge Cappies like that at first glance and then move on..I'm pretty sure the Cappies are glad they're rid of them. This is one reason Capricorn energy is good with Scorpio, it's said Capricorn is a Scorpio in a business suit, so underneath the covers they are quite something, and if they put it all on show there would be a loss of mystery and depth, i.e., Cancer.

Lonake, you're obviously in denial. What is it that capricorns have to learn from their opposite, Cancer, then, if not what I wrote? Are you saying that caps basically have nothing new to learn? nothing to improve on? then, if they don't then i guess they can't complain when they put others off and feel lonely and unsatisfied.

Btw, I could easily tell you to shut up, too. But I won't, because I think what I had to say already did that for me.

I will add, though, that I think caps are great myself. I've actually run into very few sour caps. I like them, i just wish they would express their emotions more, and sound less demanding in their tone, and be less workaholic. I've actually found them to be quite popular and well-liked usually. It seems it is usually only in their head that they are not well-liked. They seem to have an inferiority complex, honestly.

My cappy best friend once said to me "Well, I don't show others my sense of humor, because I don't think they deserve it. You have to show me you deserve it."

That really shocked me. Because she obv doesnt understand that you make others laugh just to spread love and kindness. They don't have to "deserve" anything. That's crazy! Also, one time I said "I love you. " and you know what she said? She was like "We're not going out."

Ahhh so true. I just want you cappies to know that I can be here for you and care for you if you let me. Sometimes I wonder why they work so hard to find power...it's not surprising to find them unable to express emotion, w/ their polar opposite in cancer...they both have in common the tough shell. I hope capricorns are able to let their guard down and let it be, make mistakes and be human. Feeling is not weakness, it's natural, human, and healing.

My cappy best friend once said to me "Well, I don't show others my sense of humor, because I don't think they deserve it. You have to show me you deserve it."
That's crazy...the Aqua/Cap I was talking about told me I would have to earn more "photos" of him online...He had literally one picture of him. Turns out he looks completely different. I told him, "i think you're arrogant to think that i have to earn more pictures of you or you must be very shy." I think he's both. It's also the inferiority complex they suffer from. Who doesn't have a little bit of that? We all have feelings of insecurity...but even the fact that they would never admit to having such a feeling worries me.

And I remember when I would say bye and she would just stare coldly away into the distance and gimme a cold "later"
Doesnt really do it anymore...i've slowly managed to bring out the warm teddy bear out of her and her voice isnt so monotone anymore. It's been a long and lonely trek though to get to that point. She IS really cold. She has no idea how to deal with sentimental things or showing caring and warmth. Not saying all caps are like her because ive met some warmer than others, but they definitely seem to have a much harder time with that than most.

Again, that's insane! Sounds way too similar to my experience w/ the Cap Moon dude.

Human beings in general have an inherent need to attach. I think that personality wise they've learned to disregard their own feelings and thus cannot empathize. Or they feel that to empathize is giving too much of themselves. Honestly, either way, if you don't want to empathize, don't expect it from others.
I really don't get that they think others need to earn something from them or that people don't deserve something...I find the idea too egotistical and scary.

they both think they are so much more sophisticated, classy, just, and morally correct than everyone else.

I think caps are much more focused on people's morality, though. They think everyone should be conservative, whereas libras dont really care for that.

I think it's one of the reasons why librans are so angry, and caps such complainers/overbearing. Everyone knows aries thinks he is better than everyone else, though, so I wont even go there :P

i dont dislike this part of their personalities tho. I find as a cancer with aqua north node I just accept people for who they are and just accept it as part of whatmakes them them, not a fault or a good quality. I think every good quality comes with its faults, and its unavioidable.

Thank you for your post Enjoyed reading it.

I will say that my grandmother is rather passive aggressive, but she has a sense of humor about it. She's usually trying to better the reputation of our family behind the scenes, and tries to convince everyone that we need to be married/committed to someone we love, or married/committed to something that will bring in money. I attribute that to her traditional nature, and i attribute the passive part of the aggression to her being female.
