I'm will Arielle. If people are that needy, then they need to learn how to be alone with themselves and not be dependent on others so much. I swear, sometimes it seems Cancers attract the clingers because we're nurturers! I LIKE my alone time, I NEED some alone time! Being around people constantly can be exhausting. I have a hard time keeping their emotional energy from bombarding me. Sometimes I want to read, work on art, or dive into some knowledge chase tangent that caught my attention, and it's distracting and annoying to have to split my attention when I'm wanting that alone space. Let us recharge and we'll be able to come back all lovey dovey and sociable.

I don't get how anyone feels neglected. Can't ppl be busy?
I feel the need to give you a shovel that can assist you with that load of bullshit.
I work at a hospital, am currently in a second Master's Degree program FULL TIME, answer phones at a crisis center and talk people out of killing themselves, serve in the Reserve forces of our military, conduct research for a suicide prevention therapy program, maintain an active social life with my friends, etc...
BUT THERE IS NEVER A MOMENT IN TIME WHERE I AM TOO "BUSY" TO MAINTAIN REGULAR DAILY CONTACT WITH MY CANCER GIRLFRIEND.
Yours is a cowardly response if I ever saw one.

People see this as being distant or cold, when in reality, we're just trying to self-care for a bit. I love being around people, interacting with my loved ones, etc, and I also love my quiet time. I'm not sure why this is considered a negative thing by some.click to expand

I love the fact that a Cancer NOT COMMUNICATING for days and weeks on end is perfectly acceptable behavior to some of the Cancers around here.
You people need to remember that it's really a control thing for the Cancer. That's right, A CONTROL FREAK. Rejecting honest and open communication, and getting back to the person whenever you feel like it is not only awful behavior, but it's a form of power and control.
If a person calls a Cancer on a Monday, and doesn't hear from them until 2 weeks later, it is NOT the person who made the original call that is wrong.
So stop pissing at me for not having anything to do with the accursed Camp 2 Cancer crowd. There are very distinct reasons why they are not Camp 1 Cancers.

i cant help but to say this, its not always about being needy..
sometimes when we care and love someone from our heart we tend to get affected by their smallest of things or say behaviors.. some get curious some get worried are they fine, could be anything. but its just because we care and love them, its not like we want their attention or constantly want to bother them. yes everyone likes their personal space and time and we respect that but that doesnt mean one just comes close like a magnet and just in a moment want some space.. that gets confusing.click to expand

What is confusing about needing space? If that's confusing, and you want the cling like a magnet all the time, that does sound needy.click to expand

Dating or seeing someone is just that and depends on how you define the parameters in your relationship.
Ive never known a cancer to outright ignore someone. I thought you people were just ranting on not getting a call back asap or a text answered promptly.
If someones ignoring you for weeks or months....
Well they clearly are over you and probably onto someone else. That isn't sign specific though.


Posted by Reincarnation
I tend to agree though. Some - not all - Crabs can be rather aloof.
Not a fan of this lack of passion.


Posted by KoniuchaPosted by Stihl46
What's wrong with being aloof I'm guilty of it people ask me if I moved away I say no. I can disappear on people for months just the way I'm.
These people you disappear on for months, are they your friends?click to expand

AND STOP STARING AT ME WITH THAT "UH HUH" LOOK ON YOUR DEADPAN, EXPRESSIONLESS FACE!! ~glare suspicious eyes~ I know what you're thinking. And stop staring at my boobs. And no I don't want to make you a sandwich right now! Fine, what kind?
Lol.
Nonetheless, I said some - not all - Crabs.
You all are very good in my book though. A lot of you are wife material.click to expand

OMG!! A miracle! I got you to laugh 😄
I was surprised, too. I don't laugh often.

It's ok. The grumpy poker face keeps most from figuring it out. 🙂
I've noticed that some of you Cancers tend to like this "grumpy poker face" for some reason.
I called my Crabette friend out and said you must like this guy. She did not disagree.click to expand

Yes, it's bloody ADORABLE! I think what's so endearing about it is the fact that most find it intimidating, but if you understand the reason for it, and what's hidden underneath, it's impossible to take it personally. Then add the fact that it's a fun challenge to get the hidden parts to shine more, and it's like a treasure hunt that can't be resisted. MUST. GET. TREASURE. Then, when we get the treasure it's "MINE. My precious."
I see.
My intuition was correct then.click to expand

Also, OP, remember that you should be in a relationship with a human being who is willing to jump fences to be with you.
Never, ever commit yourself to someone who is "on the fence" about a relationship.
You are wasting your time this way.
Posted by SugarfootPosted by DearCupcake
Dont you ever feel neglected? Like the "distant" moments are way too much?
Blame it on my lack of sleep but I don't understand this hot and cold. It's abusive, man. Abusive.
Yea when I was with my ex, I frequently felt like this. I'm not at all clingy or dependent either, lol. When we broke up, I told him that I'm tired of being in a relationship yet feeling like I'm single. He just had too much going on with his life. He didn't have time for a relationship but he just wanted one and didn't want to let go, even though I gave him so many outs.click to expand

Right now I had a little fight with my cancer man. I hate that he mistakes my "longness" for needyness. He told me that he felt like I was needy today (even though I was not) and that sometimes, working from morning to dawn, he only has a few minutes to lay back and relax and the thought of me being "needy" and "needing" to spend some time with him just makes him more distant and angry.
Even thought I do sometimes feel ignored, I KNOW he has a lot to deal with at work and whatnot. I really understand and I'm being patient and being there for him. I know the sun will shine for us again soon..
Sometimes I DO miss him and that kind of puts me into a blue mood, like, miss his presence but I'm NOT pissed at him or even angry or whatever and I hate that he doesn't understand this. There are two totally different emotions.
I don't know. He yesterday said that he loves me so much and this is the only thing that gives me strenght and makes me to not put it at heart because I know how he really feels. I know I've become his punching bag with all of this stress from work. I guess I love him that much.
I don't know what kind of advice I'm looking for right now but I really needed to vent. I'm sorry.

I felt that way too, but you have to understand that you can't be in a relationship that puts such an emotional strain on you. I really hope you understand that you deserve the very best and there is a wonderful man out there for you that won't make you feel that way at all! I mean that. I know my friends have wonderful relationships and marriages and it's because the other one understands that it's not "neediness" it's the desire to share your life with that someone and best of all, SELFLESSNESS...not selfishness. Don't settle for someone who is ignoring you.
I hope that if it doesn't change you find the strength to leave. You're much better than that, girl. I promise you! 😉 You'll be so much happier. You don't a man to obtain that! It's wonderful being content with yourself. We only get the love we think we deserve.

I really don't know what to say. I don't fret too much because I don't even know what I want more from this relationship. There's quite an age difference between us (13 years) and his life is pretty much busy because he's on his own (he's originally from another city) and at 34 years old some of our perspectives are different. He does make time for me as in he comes to pick me up from work everyday,he calls me throughout the day to check up on me, he tells me everyday that he loves me and other compliments and whatnot and I know and FEEL it's true. And in exchange of that, he asks of me (without him actually saying it) to just let him be and do his thing and not get into his own little space (he said that he loves the fact that I let him alone when he's moody/grumpy)
I guess it's just the leo in me asking for more attention...click to expand
