explain why you feel misunderstood?

"cancer men and women may be the most misunderstood of all of the zodiac signs."

How? Why?

Even if we try to explain ourselves, others just don't "get it" but really it's just we operate on more of an "unseen" plane such as intuition, feeling...now can you put numbers on those things? No, which is why they are invalid unfortunately to a society that places greater value on numbers then humanity/feelings. This is one reason we can't explain our reasoning. Also, we are highly influenced by the moon phases, and such our emotions reflect that. We can be goofy, crying, then silent all with a matter of minutes. Can you explain that? exactly!

How: Everything I say
Why: Because people are dum lmao

i just am. dont' know why. i express myself clearly

I totally "get you" CC 😛

Hear them with your heart, not with your ears.

What Moonbutter said.

Intuition is huge, but most shrug it off and try to invalidate it.

Emotions are huge, but that gets delegated to being "weak", when the reality is we learn very early how to ride those massive waves of emotion, and there's nothing weak about that.

When we're considered clingy just because we are making sure everyone we love is ok. Why is this a negative?

I don't think Cancers are the most misunderstood of the zodiac signs. I'm not sure why it says that on the topic page of this board. Nearly everyone feels misunderstood in some way. There's a reason why 95% of the Google search results for "most misunderstood zodiac sign" say Scorpio.

Now if you want to know when/why/how Cancers feel misunderstood, I can answer that from a personal perspective.

they won't cling, if you don't give and show them how much you care.

I think what makes me the most clingy is when people are inconsistent. Like if they go back & forth from giving me an extreme amount of attention & love to suddenly going all cold & distant. Then when they are cold & distant & I'm used to them being warm & close I freak out inside wondering what I did to upset them & why they are being that way. I cling onto them wanting to show I care, explain myself or get answers, to the point of it being counterproductive because I will keep trying to be affectionate or calling them or asking them questions, when maybe they just want some alone/quiet time. It's the lack of clarity & lack of communication that brings this insecurity out in me. I'm trying to work on it & have made progress though.
