I asked my supervisor was her birthday this week, ( leaving for vacation) she replies no in july. She has sudden headaches. One minute she seems like the sweetest thing with such soft green eyes and such perfect teeth. On the other hand shes moody upset impatient with me over the smallest things. Can you explain your mood swings? have you had them frequently and reoccurring this month and last month? or could it be you know what..

Well its kinda hard to explain @livibgonpurpoise. Sometimes we get down or if someone really does stuff that anger us, we keep it in, then eventually we'll voice our concerns. Like today for instance, I felt soo angry & idk why this morning. I think you should just let her be. Do let her know you are concerned & that you care. When she's calm, she'll come out of her shell to talk. Sometimes its just how we are. But if we care for you, its not done to make you feel bad ok.

I mean if something is bothering me, I can get moody. Its usually hard for me to hide my emotions or if im sad about something. Like I said, just letbher be in her shell til she's calm again. Try complimenting her & or asking her what's her favorite snacks. Try bringing her food to cheer her up. Sincere hugs, words, & food lol can easily change a Cancers mood 🙂. But its tough sometimes. Thats why I wish I had an Aquarius moon haha. Jk

Humm I guess a compliment couldn't be so bad. She was so nice this morning complementing me and watching from afar me doing my work then I asked about her trip. (this is the first time she's been nice to me since I started working there almost 4 months ago). Usually it's verbal abuse well slightly only 1 threat not to be taken so serious. I just don't get it sometimes but I give her space and just try to do my work. Lately I guess after her surgery she isn't so bad just swaying back and forth.

lol Yes! Basically, we crabs have loads of emotion at any given moment for any given thing. It's all up at the surface so everyone gets a good look and feel for it. Happy? EVERYONE is happy! Sad? Life is meh. Pissy or impatient? Why the FUCK can't anyone do ANYTHING right?!! Raging? Duck and cover, the red button will be pushed! Be a little wary when we go silent and tip toe the long route around the shell.

@livingonpurpoise it's be to be you, offer sincere words occasionally, & just let her be. Let your work ethic & actions speak for you. It's all you can do really. Just listen if she wants to talk about things. Just say ok, i understand. We do have a lot emotions, so being around strong, positive people like yourself, Can help us Cancers out a lot. She'll eventually see that you mean well ok.

Oddly enough, I wouldn't describe it in my case as mood swings.
I'm actually pretty even keeled, although the emotional reactions are always flitting below the surface.
If there is something else going on in her life, that might be forcing those emotions to the surface.

Cancers are weirdly a little like Aquas, because there is variation.

Thanks moon artist I am taking mental notes of this most of the time she is quiet or explosive haha. Thanks 2B I appreciate all the positive reinforcement she likes to hear more verbal expression from me if I say, " ok I get it, or yes I comprehend" she says don't say that haha. The woman has me walking on coals, Cancer cusp that makes sense maybe it's beyond my reach of her attitude and day to day problems. I know we all have them I just expect for people to behave themselves accordingly, or like me I never bring my life into work. I just hope she has some better days in store for her 🙂.

i have my mood swings but its well hidden... guess because my man is a cancer/leo and his mood swings are ridiculous. so even if I feel a certain way, i feel like i have to push them aside for the mean time so that i can accomodate him. grrrr frustrating sometimes. like damn! can i have a moment of mood swinging too? lol ugh

Lol yikes that does sound scary Cancerbabe, how often will he have mood swings?

You're right grits that's what the ultimate conclusion will be here as I leave her to her personal problems.

Crabberies haha that's usually what I do, if I get caught having a conversation with shoppers it turns into a mess haha but like I told her, I can work and chew bubble gum at the same time 😉.

Wow no wonder she's acting the way she is. Sad to hear about that surgery :/. You should definitely show you care, but let her be. Try baking her some cookies or buying her favorite snack or dessert. That should cheer her up a lil. Im sure she appreciates your concern. Hope she feels better

I won't see her until about 3 more weeks, if I had her facebook I could, I guess I could buy her a cookie hopefully she doesn't say I don't eat sugary sweets. I hope it isn't anything serious either she needs more time off to heal but I know she has a family and college grad to support. With time she will get better, needless to say I actually miss her, despite the conflict we have.
