The Darkside of Cancer

Maybe this is just me being an asshole.

but... Do any of the other Cancer every feel they can very easily drift towards the nasty side of their character? The negative traits.

I have always (thought I was) a caring person, empathetic and considerate of other peoples emotions when making decisions, an evolved cancer is the way it is described. But in the last 6 months I have noticed, I will do anything I want with no consideration towards other people. Complete selfishness.

This started out by me getting involved with a scorpio, who i shouldnt have been involved with because of her involvement with someone i knew, but then there was the ridiculously deep connection (scarily deep), it was weird. I knew it was wrong but there were circumstances that meant i could justify it to myself. Anyhow that ended because it was too strange, we couldnt hang out because we spent the whole time trying to figure each other, trying to get through the wall. I think it ended because we figured out enough and got bored... thats how it felt to me.

The point being, If something makes me happy(at the time) who cares about the consequences, i can hide all the nasty stuff deep inside so it never comes out.

That is the thing that freaks me out the most, and I was wondering is this a Cancer trait, or just the trait of some nasty, The ability to persuade myself whatever I do, justify it to myself, and even accept it was wrong, and then shove it deep inside me so i never think of it again.

So crabs, Let me know what you think have you found yourself in this place before? (and thanks dxp has been useful while i tried to sort stuff out)

I think its not bad of you.. all of us have a point in our life where we do things that we knew we should not have done. I have done it, i am cancer moon and sun. I think for me at lest there comes a point when you just get tired of always worrying about everyone else and really feel that wheres my fun. Do we do it all the time no if you find yourself always seeking out something you know it wrong and do it quite often then maybe you should think about why you do that. But to me if its not a regular thing don't worry about it.


Best of luck follow your heart your perfect person is out there somewhere and when you meet them things will fall into place very easily!

I think thats whats happened me... a vicious bout of selfishness. Thanks for the reassuring words!

no problem Bear 🙂 us cancers need love and selfishness too sometimes!

@EmotionalMoon I can understand that 100% , been there a lot recently! I have very little patience for people like that. And then the guilt the next day for saying something nasty, but sometimes people need to hear that, to understand they monopolies peoples time!

You shouldnt feel too bad, may have done her a favour, if she goes home wondering why you told her to shut up
