Capricorn obsession or addiction?

Are Capricorns Prone to Obsession or Addiction

Capricorns tend to be disciplined and goal-oriented, which can sometimes lead to obsessive tendencies. While they are not inherently addicted, their focus on achievements may cause them to become overly fixated on certain pursuits or routines. Understanding Capricorn traits helps clarify their behavior related to obsession or addiction.

Do caps get obsessed or addicted easily? I know there is a lot more than just a sun sign. I’m just asking in general terms.

Not that I know of...I find they are usually quite good in self control.

I only know two (that I’m aware of) and they both seem to. One admitted to having an addictive personality. The other struggles with menta health issues and addiction.

I'm obsessive. With lots of things.

Would you be willing to share? If you do or don’t, what do you think is the root cause?

Root cause is I like things too much

Do you like things for novelty or because you genuinely like them?

Oh, I remember that Capricorn Vitaly Kaloyev who killed an air traffic controller whom he considered guilty of his family death in the airplain accident. He acted in the heat of passion, in an uncontrollable rage, no doubt.

They're obsessed with money, yes.

And my Cap rising can relate to that obsession.

Both. I also don't like not attaining what I want and that can drive obsession.

Do you still want it once you get it?

What’s the definition of obsession? Never giving up perhaps 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Never letting go, or forgiving?

I feel like I would use the definition of obsession as an unhealthy fixation. I watch the one stay fixated on unhealthy things and won’t walk away from toxic people. The other one literally told me they get obsessed, so that definition may differ from what I consider obsessive.

my cap ex was an alcoholic and a hoe

Coincidentally I’m watching Cheers clips. Sam is played by a cap and Diane is played by a Virgo Leo cusp Virgo rising. Sam is alcoholic hoe and Diane is bookworm.

They’re usually more logical than obsessive, but I’ve known quite a few that had issues with addiction. Whether it was addiction to gambling, porn, drugs/alcohol, cheating/sex, etc.

And I've known quite a few women who were addicted to consumerism, and overdosing on dumb romantic/Disney films and esoteric claptrap. You know, the typical things most humans invest their spare time in, to fill the empty void within themselves.

I asked because people seem to use the word differently. My ex bf has a letting go problem. When I think about it so did my dad. Of emotions.. and of people. I am not sure if that is what OP is getting at or not. I had to block my ex Cap because he just kept coming back every 2 months for years saying we were going to end up together even though I kept saying NO!!!!!! It’s been almost a year & so nice and quiet.

My father perhaps. He did not forgive she left him in 40 years. But really he did not deal with his part in it. Stubbornness?

The Cap broke my heart & left me. went to someone else & then realized his mistake. But yet couldn’t commit again for 3 years like he had when we were together. I’m not sure it’s love but needing me to take care of him so he doesn’t fuck things up. He makes bad decisions. Who knows, but I don’t believe him anymore. It’s just words.

Wasn’t her character digging for that old guy with money? She was also played by a cap in the interest for this thread.
