Cancers may feel deeply hurt by rejection but can also forgive and reconnect with the same person if they feel genuine remorse and emotional compatibility. Their response varies based on individual experiences and relationships. Rejection does not necessarily mean the end of potential future connections for Cancers.
Good question! I noticed and wondered the same thing. Astrology makes it sound like it's the end of the world for a cancer to get rejected. Therefore, I asked all my cancer guy friends their take on dealing with rejection.
Now I do understand that they make the first move only if they are 99.9% certain that there isn't a chance of rejection.
Cancer 1: (don't know if his sexual orientation is of relevance to anyone but he's gay) said that he would give the person who rejected him or made him feel rejected (if it was in the cancer's head since they get slighted easily) a second chance or several chances. I asked if the form of rejection (harsh or gentle) mattered. He said he would easily give them a second chance if the rejection was subtle/gentle. If it was a harsh rejection, he'd play hard to get and make that person work/ sweat to get a chance.
Cancer 2: He would give a second chance as well depending on how much he likes that person. If he truly likes her, then he would give her a second chance in a heartbeat. He also said he would make it easy/difficult depending on how the rejection was delivered.
Cancer 3: same opinion
Cancer 4 (gay): same opinion
Interesting. Off just a chance? Scared?
You definitely have more options but why not another chance to the one originally you picked?
My dad chased my mom and my grandfather chased my grandmother.
Then there's another cancer that stated to me that this one particular woman is the love of his life and he's pretty focused on getting her even though he's not even close.
I'm not scared of rejection myself it's usually the possible fallout that bothers me.
I don't know if I can give another chance again though.
I don't think it's the rejection that gets them the most. It's probably the aftermath of it all when people reject them then try to creep back in their life without validating their wrongdoings.
Being "wrong" for rejecting us?
I know you're close to your Cancer friend so asking you is like asking her in a way so I'm interested.
What's your take on this?
In case it was missed, I'm interested in Cancers' opinion on the subject I don't care for anything else.
Yep.

Cancer has a hard time with rejection but I don't think it's because if the simple fact of getting rejected. They reject other people just fine and won't have much of a reaction if the person cuts them off. They even make bad jokes about theirsrlves and laugh hard at it. They don't take life so seriously like most people want to believe-they are go with the flow laid back people.They might shed a few tears but they'll get right back up and find soneone else. I don't know why people say they are emotional bcuz they are the most emotionally stable and responsible people I deal with. I think it pusses them off when people reject them-out of spite or fear or doubt or simethin-then turn around and try to creep back in their lives without communicating how what they did was wrong and acknowledging that they did somethin hurtful. My friend didn't tell me this but I can see it. The last dude she dealt with was a straight clown. From the little she told me I can see she gave him crumbs because he kept rejecting her then coming around like nothing ever happened. She's strong to take the rejection but I think the always coming back around agin made her fed up because it looks like she was dealing with a little boy who would never get it together. I don't think she really cared about the rejection because anyone could see through dudes games and manipulation. I think she finally let it go when she realized he could never apologize and right his wrongs. And the sag ex same deal. But now they're on better terms because he fixed his wrongdoings by apologizing for all his shit and fixing it by working on the things that he was wrong for. Now she openly gives dude time with their kid and I doesn't give him the shit end of the stick. Then new dude
she's dating looks like she has no fear at all because she's wildin out and looks like dude is straightforward.

I wondered the same thing as her and gave her the responses I received from cancer men in my life.
I didn't give her my aquarius input on anything, especially not on whether chasing vs. not chasing is lame.

Wasn't directed at you.
I've seen you around here plenty of times and I respect your opinion good and bad because you tend to accurate or somewhat close on the account of being so close to your Cancer friend. Most others come into Cancer topics with an axe to grind, play make believe in how we think without actually knowing us, or just want to talk about their personal non-related anecdotes and I'm not here for that.
But regardless, I don't need to explain myself to anyone but for future reference I'm letting you know. You're welcome in any of Cancer related subjects.

When I read Cancers descriptions it always end up saying we're "terrified of rejection"
and it's the end all but I don't see that to be true.
I noticed Cancers tend to either have choose one of two ways of handling rejection in a romantic sense but it could be just my family & those I know (attracting the same type of people over and over ig).
As a Cancer, if rejected do you believe you could like the same person again (or still)?
