I do very well with instruction, but not orders.

I especially hate being told what to do when I'm already going to do it.

I don't do well writing papers in class that come with rubrics because I want to write the paper MY WAY.

My mom and my boyfriend always argue that I always want things my way. They're right, but they're both Fire signs, what do they know hahaha

I am a complete non-conformist...I've had the worst time writing my papers for your same reason. I HATE HATE HATE being told what to do, too. It grates my nerves so bad, I sometimes want to dig their eyes out. That's probably why us capricorns work better alone or for ourselves.

"-Capricorns LOVE recognition and praise, but not in a Leo kind of way

-Capricorns are usually in love with themselves, but not in conceited kind of way. Anyone that is patient enough to get to know them will fall in love, too."

Leos like to be praised for their looks, their toys their skills... but that "after they prove themselves" - they expect recognition for something they've done which in their eyes is impressive - wile Capricorns, expect recognition for "whatever they decide to do (even if that's... abusive)"... and if you don't - they'll try to manipulate you in to seeing their way.

They're truly masters in terms of manipulation - and very fond of control - they're willing to use "any tactic" on their loved ones and "expect you to support them in a slave kind of way - wile crawling in their filth"... No other sign could convince their mate to stay at their side in a slave like conditions... just one of the reasons behind their rightfully earned title as "tyrants".

Wow! Sorry you had some bad experiences with Caps, 7th guardian. I'm not like that, and I know others who aren't.

If anything, most of the Caps I know will go to great lengths to keep their relationships viable, and will make HUGE sacrifices without any recognition.

Generally speaking, we are protective of our loved ones.

...was more to my last post then you see now (after i edited the content...) - guess there was something i should have left or write again...

I presume you're not - since it wasn't about you... ^^ and you're right - i can give the impression of "judging a book by it's cover" - but it's less than half of what i had to say on this subject... And that's just it - it's mainly about "what kind of choices you make as a Capricorn" and in what way they can influence the loved ones... cause no matter what "things have to go their way".

...and yes, you can love them and act protective but - if you're in to gambling or a lifestyle that's a burden to the loved one - the love of a Capricorn can turn in to manipulation... Would feel more like a curse for the loved ones... since Capricorns are not willing to change their ways even if the loved one is suffering - because of their ways/choices in life style...

Your lifestyle could be something your loved one would like/approve - maybe even something she/he could be proud of... but there are "others" and it wasn't about me, i just happens to know some Capricorns - which hurt their loved ones - and kept them trapped in their filth...

one of them is an old friend - who has a thing with gambling... now, I've talked with him about it and it's as you said - he behaves in such way as if he's willing to do anything for the one he loves... yet, those words sound more like manipulation "when it comes to his actions"... Only luck saved her from that type of relationship - luck to find a job in a foreign country where she was away from him and his manipulative nature... The other friend - is the victim of one with heavy Capricorn influences... and even him - acts the same way, protective and lovable - but "that's just talk and no action". He never had a job since they're together... wile she has one (and not the kind she enjoys - another burden) working in his place as well - since there are bills to be paid, plus food and so on... When she gets home - she has to take care of house choirs... and she does all that "so he can live the life he wants" - spending most of his time on PC playing games - and that happens for many years since their together as if he's privileged in some way... and yes, he can be lovable... but "cause of his lifestyle" for most part that relationship feels like a curse... it's complicated - and i can't give all the details, but the poor girl is stuck in that relationship..

My grandma is also a Capricorn and she's been very helpful and very caring and i have a lot of respect for her since - she truly did a lot for me... but her seclusive lifestyle - it's obviously not that appealing and she always expected my Grandfather (whom is an Aries) to support her gloomy lifestyle and stay inside the house with her for most part of the day - wile - obviously, he was really not in to such depressive lifestyle... she has some serious medical problems - but her main problem was always her state of mind (very pessimist)... whenever she felt some pain in some area - she always took it as the worst - like Cancer (which she never had)... she did try to manipulate me in to staying there with her - and she didn't stop carrying if i didn't...

I'm sure you do ^^ ... but this wasn't a generalization... you're probably "one of the good Capricorns" - your family might feel lucky to have you and you're lucky to be "that type..." As mentioned above, it's mainly about "the lifestyle you chose" - cause you can be stubborn enough to go with your way not matter what... but if it's a positive lifestyle - that can be a good thing... if it's a negative one - that can be a burden on the loved ones...

Pessimistic? I wouldn't say that....realistic to all options. The Capricorns I know, myself included don't part easy with our money especially when it comes to gambling. We are not thrill seekers...we like to spend money on tangible items, luxury or not but nonetheless we like to have something to show for our money.

We pour our hearts into kids and push them to be the best even better than us. Melonchaly? I call contemplative. Clingy? Never...like I said extremely self sufficient. I don't take prisoners when it comes to any issue I am going through. My close friends know when I am going through something, they leave me alone to work through what I am going through. Most times I need 2 days and in those 2 days, I have worked out a solution.

I thrive under a certain type of structure because even though I am a Capricorn I do not have a good sense of discipline. (Typically all or nothing behaviors.) However, that is because I know I am benefiting from it and it was my choice to enter into that situation. Outside of this however, when someone tells me what to do in a ridgid inflexible way, something inside of me constricts, my face gets red and my extremeties get cold. Often time I will look around and other people will be reacting as if it doesn't bother them. So, no, I cannot stand being told what to do...unlesssss I have set out for that situation.

I think the basic nature of most Caps are to be hardworking, self sufficient, family oriented composed type ppl. There are some Caps out there that are like the one 7thguardian is speaking of. There is some confliction in those Caps for sure, but for the most part I do believe the majority is what I expressed abive and what most of what others know as well.

Btw, which Online game do you play? ^^ ...and how do you handle being called "kid" by a chipmunk who'd probably younger than your son?

---

Call of Duty, Battlefield, Medal of Honor (all versions). Its alright being called "kid." I get my revenge quietly via my rifle. The difference between myself and a young one is that I've done my service and I'm trained and have my badges and certifications. No desktop pilot, regardless of how much practice, can compete against a real air force pilot. Same concept. The other unfair advantage is serious computer hardware, especially monitors. Parents are unlikely to buy multiple large monitors and video cards for their teens or college students, and they are unlikely to be able to afford such monitors with part-time jobs. Like I said, I'm a Capricorn and I don't do anything to get second place.
