I have very weird experiences with Cancer men. To me, it feels like they less want to understand the world, and would prefer to have the world go out of its way to understand them. Yesterday I went out to eat with an artist friend who is a Cancer, and he was really temperamental. He makes his living off his art and supports his two children with it, and he was asking me what I thought about one of his pieces, and I didn't praise it. I was just blunt and told him I wasn't a big fan. The rest of the day he went on telling me stories about how people will recognize him when he goes on the streets, how people praise his work, how someone paid $ 5,000 for one of his pieces and thanked him for letting them buy one of his pieces. He made sure to let me know several times that the piece I didn't like sold while he wasn't even done (good for him, that doesn't affect my taste for it.) He also seemed really stressed the whole time and gave me this whole, "I don't need you, you should feel lucky for knowing me," attitude, even though he needs my help with some artist grant application because he can't write or use technology for the life of him.

I still care a lot about the guy and his family, but his passive aggression and temperamental attitude for a 45-year-old father of two seemed really unprofessional. Feeling more and more like he is toxic, especially as he expects me to help him out with anything he can't do for himself. He is a hard worker, but needy.
