As a cancer do you ever feel like you're attracted to broken people? People with so much damage you just want to help them and fix them?

I think cancers can feel inclined too... when they really shouldn't because they end up screwing things up or just overdoing it and then they end up in tears themselves like no

I don't think cancers are attracted to broken people, it's actually the other way around. Broken people are attracted to cancers.

I will help people and used to have a problem with severing the umbilical cord, so to speak. But at some point you learn that you have to, just for pure survival.

They can be, yes.

But they can also [subliminally] expect to be recognized and lauded by their partner for their efforts.. And can get snippy and unreasonable when they are not..

Much like Virgos.

Should this be the case, it reminds me of the story of the kid who dove into the water to "save" a drowning kid.

Both kids ended up drowning when the two came together.

People with a healthy sense of self-respect will date and court other people with a healthy sense of self-respect.

It is never healthy to assume that a "Therapist-Client" relationship will be healthy on a romantic level.
