Well whenever Im on a family vacation and say we go exploring a city my brother (cancer) always complains and whines about stuff. I could do without the complaining because Im trying to enjoy myself since I am away from my work and school responsibilities. Also he doesnt have as much energy as I do so we usually end up going back to the hotel before we get to see everything.

When we are not on vacation, he stays in his room all the time and plays playstation and talks with other playstationers online. I wish hed get out more and experience life outside of the home/ comfort zone, and not be such a damn homebody all the time.

K im done.

It saddens me that Cancers believe in all the hype that labels them as strictly emotional as if they have no ability to be logical. It's like they're stereotyped & thus just live up to those labels even if they have the inner ability to push through those stereotypes & be different than what they're told they're "supposed" to be like.

Cancers sometimes surrender to their emotions. They allow temporary feelings to control & emulate things that are permanent. They don't realize that while emotions are important, it doesn't mean that you have to be a prisoner to them!

I get saddened when I hear a Cancer say, "Well I was so emotional b/c I'm a Cancer," no different than how confused I am when a Scorpio says something like, "Well I'm vindictive or a sex-feen b/c I'm a Scorpio." Just b/c some astrologer says you have a higher chance of being a certain way than others doesn't mean you HAVE to be that way or live up to that stereotype! Don't surrender to stereotypes!

It saddens me that so many people continue complaining about the Cancer Zodiac sign like astrology is the only make up of you they are and how they deal with life in every way. I don't get it; focus on you and stop focusing on what makes that person less then what you want or are seeking to have. If they are such a problem, find someone else that makes you feel whole in a relationship. In fact, don't ; take a time out and find what makes you whole by taking time out to look inside yourself for the answers that you seek; not all the time it's the other person. You can project negative energy and some can't deal with it and just decide to retreat. Either way.....stop complaining about them already.

It saddens me that we have to deal with the other signs.

Some signs really doesn't care for the betterment of their personality.
I just wanna know what others think of my sign and how I can improve or adjust and change.
Thats the reason why I made this thread.

yes yes yes for letting our fears get in the way of greatness!

Sometimes it would be nice to have an off switch for emotions. I don't know what that feels like, not feeling. Most of the time I can keep it tightly under wraps but if its a really bad situation and the emotions are too much then there could be an explosion.

What saddens me about Cancers is that we're so misunderstood by the practical, unemotional types.

It makes me sad when they withdraw and stop contact without letting you know if they are coming back... It's scary if you start getting attached and then they just disappear. I do not want to chase, it's not my style , but I sit and wonder if he is thinking I don't care enough for him because I am not chasing him... I hate crying and I'm not telling him he made me cry, that's for sure.

Don't chase. That's the BIG mistake when a Cancer pulls into that shell.
Keep contact in a very sparse way, preferably with humor that has nothing to do with anything personal, and those clouds pass.
Hard to understand, I know.
If you need to tell him, do it when he asks, and he will. Just don't accuse, but share. He'll listen.

Canceronthecusp and Raerain, my situation is a little complicated by the conversation I was in when he stopped responding. I appreciate the feedback but I don't want to hijack the thread so I think I might write a thread of my own about it and maybe you can read my story and give me your thoughts. 🙂

Not necessarily bothers, but something that saddens me is how oftentimes, they don't realize how incredibly amazing they are...and they don't believe it when you try to verbalize just that.

Its a double edged sword with Cancers.
They often do not recognize when someone tries to tell them what you stated. It also makes them less susceptible to the type of flattery used to manipulate them.

—Love is when you shed a tear and still want him, it's when he ignores you and you still love him, it's when he loves another girl but you still smile and say I'm happy for you, when all you really do is cry.??

Not bothered, not saddened, just something I notice.

They seem to act in counterproductive ways to their purpose. They should be more proactive with that they want, it would do them more good.

The moodiness is not an obstacle..most of the Crabs I know snap in and out of it and when they're out, they have the zaniest sense of humor. Cracks me up
