What does it take for an immature cancer to mature? I'm in love with an immature cancer. She fits the description very well --- every emotion is a negation of the last, hypersensitive, etc. I'm just wondering what does it take for an immature cancer to mature? Are there any cancer women out there who experienced this (immature to mature?) What happened? She is my first love and I have never been in a relationship before with anyone else. Thanks!

Everyone is different, but it took me some failed relationships to rid myself of acting out so emotionally and following my ID all the time. Good luck!
Posted by MoonbutterI'm willing to stick it out with her and i told her that i will never give up on her and i guess i'm trying to help her get past her immature stage. Do you think that would help? What happened with your failed relationships?

Anyone can be immature, regardless of their sign.
And some people never learn to be better.
And some people never learn to be better.

Having negative emotions =/= immaturity.

Errr if she's immature and you told her you'd never give up on her she could be testing you to see if it's true..
When reality hits them hard

Mature crabs are also negatively emotional and hypersensitive. They just don't bring the flood over every little thing like an unevolved Cancerian will.
Their shells need to develop and harden. This takes time, and as much as it sucks to say, pain. A Cancerian will never mature and grow until they learn how to process and compartmentalize every single emotion they experience, especially the negative ones. Depending on what they go through and other placements in their chart, this maturity can happen as early as the teens, or never.

Depends on how she grew up too... like, was it a stable environment? Did she have a loving family, positive male role model? What is her dating history? Also, her placements? And yours?

Absolutely! But it is through life's trials that not only crabs, but everyone learns to deal and then educate others. Everyone has to learn to deal with pain.

You can, but it will take a really long time to change the behavior if you enable it. And then you run the risk of her finally growing up and finding that she views you more as a father figure than a lover.
Or it could all just work itself out fine, I can only speak from my own experience.
Posted by scopiooooI thought Scorpios are the one who test you, but Cancers do that to. Just be there for her, open up to her about your emotions and let her inside.

Posted by Arielle8347 years old. right now she blocks me on instagram to feel loved. she wants to be pursued. or when she is hurt by what i said, she blocks me on instagram and facebook.
How old is this "immature" cancer?
What does she need to change about herself, so you can fill satisfied she is on your level of "maturity"?
i guess the reason why she is like this is because i'm her 2nd love. the 1st guy was a psycopath that manipulated her, neglected her big time and took advantage of her a lot and in every way (financially, etc.). that is why actually i think she is still immature until now. i guess she is more cautious about me.
i just hope she doesn't take my efforts and love for granted no matter how challenging she is making things to be.
somebody gave me advice about her to not let her walk all over me because if i let her do that, she will continue doing it. is that right?
Posted by Arielle83doing this blocking thing that she does.Posted by scopiooooHow is she walking all over you?
somebody gave me advice about her to not let her walk all over me because if i let her do that, she will continue doing it. is that right?
So what do u do to make her stop?
How long you been together?click to expand
well, what i do is try to figure out the cause of her doing what she is doing (what's going on inside of her that's making her do what she does --- is it something i said, etc.) and then depending on what is causing it, i will respond to the cause of it (not what she is doing). i have read that what a cancer says and does is not literally what it is, it's about something else (it's their indirect nature) so i try to figure out what is really going on with her and try to adress it --- like explain to her what i meant if the reason why she is doing what she is doing is because she was hurt by what i said to her etc. but she does this too often i'm wondering if there is a way to help her find a better way of expressing herself instead of just blocking me out if nowhere.
6 years.
here is how i see what she does: the extremety of what she does is a manifestation of how strongly she felt about whatever it is that made her do it. she was not like this before when we first met. what happened was that over the years what she does when she is hurt got worse over time and happens more often than before.
Posted by Arielle83she's super sensitive to me though. the slightest thing can hurt her even if what i was saying was not about her, she takes it personally and reacts to it. but what i do is that once i figure out what hurt her, i just don't say it again. and like i said i explain to her what i meant if i think that she misunderstood what i said. will she be open to talk about it to improve our situation? i've never done that before yet.
Of course it will get worse if you keep acting as the catalyst that makes her hurt.
You aren't learning from her distance.

Ok im going to break it down into two scenarios based on me and how I used to act or still do lol.
1. If she's not into you.. she knows you'll let her get away with treating you like ish so she does it. If I know you'll jump when I ask imma keep asking. If she doesn't apologize later then she's playing you.
Think of it as "you're not yourself when you're hungry".. if you snap at a love one when you're hungry then after you've ate you regret how you acted so apologize..make sense?
2. If she loves you.. she probably just want some reassurance. A I miss you or I'm thinking about you text will cool her down. You need to have a heart to heart with her and own up to your faults in the pass so she can let go of it and start a new again.
To resolve #1.. I personally like it when my dude put me in my place in a nice way. it's all about how you say it..
Ex: yodi your acting like a brat and it's turning me off stop that ish or call me when you act right.
she might not text back in a day or two but she's reflecting.
I don't know ya'll so it's hard to not talk about my own experiences with men and how i grew out of it..

she seems to have not been passive agressive now after i told her how what she is doing affects me. I said that what she is doing makes me feel drained emotionally and spiritually in such a way that i need to rest for a bit. i also said that i don't think that there is anybody out there who can go through the things that i go through for her without a single drop of anger or hate for her. and i also said that i hope that she does not take my love and what i do for her for granted, and some other things. it seems like she understands. hopefully this goes on indefinately where she won't be passive agressive anymore. thanks a lot guys for your inputs. i love her so much.

For me it was being on my own. An immature Cancerian will rely on people close to them to take care of them. I stupidly married my high school boyfriend, so my dependence on my mother transferred to my then-husband. We split up right after our daughter turned one, and I moved back in with my mother because I didn't have a job (I was a stay-at-home mom), so my dependence transferred right back to her. I got a job, though, and when I was able, moved out. That was the first time I had ever lived on my own, and I was 26 with a 2-year-old depending on me for her livelihood. I matured as a result of necessity. I didn't have a choice, because there's no room for failure as a single parent. I worked hard to be the best mom for my baby girl, and along the way I figured out who I am and what my place in this world is. Best of all I became someone I'm proud to be. Fast forward 6 years later, my now 8-year-old is thriving, I have a career, and I'm getting married. 😃
Sometimes it takes a nice dose of reality for people to grow up. I think that's the key with Cancerians. As long as there's someone to "mother us" (so-to-speak), why change?

Mature— Explain.

Posted by CrabraVery well said.
Mature crabs are also negatively emotional and hypersensitive. They just don't bring the flood over every little thing like an unevolved Cancerian will.
Their shells need to develop and harden. This takes time, and as much as it sucks to say, pain. A Cancerian will never mature and grow until they learn how to process and compartmentalize every single emotion they experience, especially the negative ones. Depending on what they go through and other placements in their chart, this maturity can happen as early as the teens, or never.

Sound like me and my scorp relationship years ago..we at the end now. About to be done with his ass..but we dealt with the same problems.
I would go in my shell when he piss me off. He always said I was sensitive. He would sware that he was changing but he just change the way he done certain behavior. Funny thing was he was very sensitive himself but called me sensitive. I was very clear at the beginning of the shit I don't like. Which made him feel controlled...I found out how bad that was for him years later. He felt like with me he had to tiptoe around me. And I felt like it was me demanding respect and protecting myself. But in reality he really wasn't changing behavior he just change the way he did it..or found a new way of doing the same shit. Scorpio are real rebellious and manipulative.. They resist change. Scorpio like to be in control...and they will not admit that. Cancer like to be in control of there emotions. The same shit I complain about he didn't like it being done to himself..because i would mirror his behavior to show him my side of it but he would claim it's not the same or see my side but turn around do the same behavior. There was things that he cool down on for my benefit but years later I heard how those things affect him..it was him secretly holding this anger inside because he couldn't behave the way he wanted too..which I have a deeper theory on what that was all about...too.
I not saying I was perfect..but just wanted to let you hear the other perspective of a similar situation.

Posted by scopiooooThis is a great question. Unevolved Cancers always get talked about for mood swings and hypersensitivity, but once we evolve, we're stable and awesome. First, how old are you guys? Some maturity will come from age alone. I'm also a guy, so my personal experience was likely a little different.
What does it take for an immature cancer to mature? I'm in love with an immature cancer. She fits the description very well --- every emotion is a negation of the last, hypersensitive, etc. I'm just wondering what does it take for an immature cancer to mature? Are there any cancer women out there who experienced this (immature to mature?) What happened? She is my first love and I have never been in a relationship before with anyone else. Thanks!
As soon as school--even college involves development and social influences--ends, people usually do well in terms of finally finding themselves. Things to build confidence are exercise and--if necessary--cosmetic surgery. (No, I'm not hating on your girlfriend, don't worry. I don't know what she looks like, but a lot of people feel better and much more confident after they get some plastic surgery). What's important is just that SHE feels confident.
As for hypersensitivity, I figured out how to do that myself. She first has to realize that she is not the only one who has to listen to little remarks here and there that could be deemed "hurtful" or "unnecessary." Everyone deals with it. It's just that other people don't care. So... instead of sitting around and being introverted about it and waiting for some annoying extrovert to say something that upsets her, she should try to be more extroverted herself. This part was only difficult at first for me. I never wanted to be one of those people who said annoying things and didn't think before I spoke myself, but once I became one, I never looked back. I'm still a little more conscientious than most extroverts, but I am nevertheless not one who holds back now. If she can't beat them, she has to join them, in other words. Tell her to speak as freely as they speak and to realize that other people operate from a different level of sensitivity. If she can bridge that gap, she will be fine.

This is a great question. Unevolved Cancers always get talked about for mood swings and hypersensitivity, but once we evolve, we're stable and awesome. First, how old are you guys? Some maturity will come from age alone. I'm also a guy, so my personal experience was likely a little different.
As soon as school--even college involves development and social influences--ends, people usually do well in terms of finally finding themselves. Things to build confidence are exercise and--if necessary--cosmetic surgery. (No, I'm not hating on your girlfriend, don't worry. I don't know what she looks like, but a lot of people feel better and much more confident after they get some plastic surgery). What's important is just that SHE feels confident.
As for hypersensitivity, I figured out how to do that myself. She first has to realize that she is not the only one who has to listen to little remarks here and there that could be deemed "hurtful" or "unnecessary." Everyone deals with it. It's just that other people don't care. So... instead of sitting around and being introverted about it and waiting for some annoying extrovert to say something that upsets her, she should try to be more extroverted herself. This part was only difficult at first for me. I never wanted to be one of those people who said annoying things and didn't think before I spoke myself, but once I became one, I never looked back. I'm still a little more conscientious than most extroverts, but I am nevertheless not one who holds back now. If she can't beat them, she has to join them, in other words. Tell her to speak as freely as they speak and to realize that other people operate from a different level of sensitivity. If she can bridge that gap, she will be fine. click to expandclick to expandclick to expand
thank you for your input. I am 30 and she is 46. Yes, she has had plastic surgery and was a body builder but she still has insecurities. I had this realization about her recently that since she is an immature cancer she is self-centered on what she thinks, and feels without regard for other people --- me. So what I did just the other day was I tried to communicate with her and tell her how what she is doing is making me feel. I gave her a metaphor to help her understand what she is doing --- I said that I felt like i was being punched in the face again and again and again by what she is doing and then I gave her questions to help her think about what she is doing based on the metaphor I used to help her understand like: what do you think will happen to me after I am punched in the face again and again and again? and will it take the same amount of time to heal from one punch or from multiple punches? things like that. I guess for now she is in her shell... I guess that in order for our situation to get better, it will start from her --- she has to have a realization about it. All I can do right now is communicate with her and love her and have patience with her until then. That is what I realized recently.

What does it take for an immature cancer to mature? I'm in love with an immature cancer. She fits the description very well --- every emotion is a negation of the last, hypersensitive, etc. I'm just wondering what does it take for an immature cancer to mature? Are there any cancer women out there who experienced this (immature to mature?) What happened? She is my first love and I have never been in a relationship before with anyone else. Thanks!
Posted by butterfly30thank you for that. I'm an evolved scorpio. I am focused on healing. I am never vengeful and never angry nor manipulative or controlling. I never shout at her nor have i been violent with her ever. It's just that most of the time she misinterprets things in a very intense way that she overreacts. before she was not like this. but as time passes on, her reaction gets worse and worse. I thought that maybe the reason for that is because what she feels is stronger now than before and i actually see it as a good thing --- it shows to me that she feels strongly about me. it's just that sometimes it's out of control...like she can't control it? I always wonder how can I help her calm down. Is there a way for me to help her calm her intense emotions.
Sound like me and my scorp relationship years ago..we at the end now. About to be done with his ass..but we dealt with the same problems.
I would go in my shell when he piss me off. He always said I was sensitive. He would sware that he was changing but he just change the way he done certain behavior. Funny thing was he was very sensitive himself but called me sensitive. I was very clear at the beginning of the butter I don't like. Which made him feel controlled...I found out how bad that was for him years later. He felt like with me he had to tiptoe around me. And I felt like it was me demanding respect and protecting myself. But in reality he really wasn't changing behavior he just change the way he did it..or found a new way of doing the same butter. Scorpio are real rebellious and manipulative.. They resist change. Scorpio like to be in control...and they will not admit that. Cancer like to be in control of there emotions. The same butter I complain about he didn't like it being done to himself..because i would mirror his behavior to show him my side of it but he would claim it's not the same or see my side but turn around do the same behavior. There was things that he cool down on for my benefit but years later I heard how those things affect him..it was him secretly holding this anger inside because he couldn't behave the way he wanted too..which I have a deeper theory on what that was all about...too.
I not saying I was perfect..but just wanted to let you hear the other perspective of a similar situation.

Posted by scopiooooYou said most of the times she misinterpret things then overreact. ..what things? Is it the samethings all of the time? Did you every change your delivery so she can receive it better? Did you ever talk about what going on with communication that make you both not on the same page?Posted by butterfly30

You said her reaction have gotten worse.....
sound like to me that there is a behavior that keep on happening from you that she dislike.
You said..I thought that maybe the reason for that is because what she feels is now stronger then before. Yes her feeling will be stronger if she keep showing irritation over a behavior that she don't like and the situation isn't approving.
You said ...I actually see it as a good thing. it show me that she's feeling strongly about me. Lol..that so scorpio. Feeling like any emotion is good emotion or good for the relationship. You have to watch that because feeling irritation or upset in a relationship with no resolution is path to an unhealthy relationship..the bad feeling will over power the good.
You ask..Is it a way to help her calm her intense emotion?
By asking her what is it that's getting you upset. Do not do general talk. Actually sit down and be specific about what's going wrong. I think a lot of water signs get caught up in emotions that lose the details on why the emotion is there.
