Take everything personally

even the jokes...

I mean .. every thing, cancers will take it like it have to do with them.
I like jokes and laughing but i dont tolerate immaturity and jokes that hurt ppl. Ive seen this happen before someone thinks they r joking but totally offended someone now maybe they being sensitive but the other person is cruel and immature?

Why do ppl say cancers r sensitive and crybabies ive never seen this. Atleast the cancer's i know arent. Im not emotional or that sensitive. I think everyone is a little sensitive in some way.
Every cancer I met in my life (including my cancer brother and my cancer sister) fit the "crybaby" bill, perhaps especially the ones who acted tough.

As a Pisces mooner, I say own it. *shrug*

Every single Cancer I have ever met in my entire life has been extremely sensitive, except for one and now you.

Sensitivity isn't a weakness though. Neither is crying. Being sensitive, in my eyes, is the ability to be vulnerable, compassionate, empathetic, reasonable enough to take the words of others into consideration and honest with your reaction. To me, sensitivity is also vivid imagination, open-mindedness, and the ability to cherish life experiences and learn from them.

That being said, sensitivity is a very admirable trait.

As for why people say Cancers are sensitive and crybabies... I'll assume that for those who were blessed with a mouth, they are free to use it and if they are capable of forming opinions then they probably will. Does that make them insensitive, rude, ignorant, or close-minded? Maybe, maybe not. All I can say for sure is that expressing your emotions do not make you weak nor a crybaby; it makes you human.
Although, if you don't think you're sensitive then fuck anyone tries to argue differently. You define you.

The next time someone generalizes and says that all Cancers are sensitive or simply says that you are sensitive
(and you truly believe you're not), remember this: "There are different strokes for different folks." Ask yourself: "What is your purpose?" Tell yourself: "-insert your purpose- is all that matters."

Then let that shit go. Let whoever think whatever and at some point you'll stop caring about what other people think and start living life for you. You'll be free and they'll still be consumed with you.
I agree with that since u put it that way. Im not a weak person byt i guess maybe i am sensitive i feel things. My personality isnt a crybaby though and i dont get hurt by words. Im compassionate and vulnerable sweet and kind and i enjoy humor. I guess some ppl say it in negative way like oh ur a cancerrrrr ur sensitive u cry your weak and im not that

cancer (we) is a hard sign to understand I think people are confusing what sensitive means the literally definition of sensitive means (of a person or a person's behavior) having or displaying a quick and delicate appreciation of OTHERS feelings -we are very intuned with other peoples feelings at least I am
it has nothing to do with being weak.......— so I'm not sure where they are getting that from


another thing ...people confuse about us is the word "emotional" it means -(of a person) having feelings that are easily excited and openly displayed. but somehow people have interpreted this to mean sad allll the time ...and they associate it with crying? but it just mean we don't hide how we feel ...that means if we are excited..upset...or whatever ...its just right there
Yea like i agree with the in depth part we cancers have empathy and sympathy. I help ppl i care for them and i love ppl even strangers but im far from weak and i dont cry esp in front of ppl. Im sensitive to others feelings i can feel ppl and energy ppl make fun cancers like anything u say we going to cry and we on this emotional roller coaster '

right yes!!! all this!!! I couldn't agree with you more! I would give you the shirt of my back...but as far as asking for help or whining about my own problems thats a no! go! captain ...thats private! even when talking to close friends or family about a problem I don't want sympathy... I want to "FIX" the problem...

when you talk about one,
they act like you mean all.
you can specifically say
only that one person and
not generalize, but others
will get upset, acting like
you included them too.
This post is ironic considering any mention of "scorpio" and you feel the need to school the poster on over generalizing.
click to expand

just like you feel the need
to comment, so did i. so?
what really is ironic here:
do YOU ever specifically
point out who you rant on?
or do you lump scorpios
together usually?

No I don't lump them together; however, you assume I do because it bothers you when you feel a poster generalizes your sign. Even if I'm speaking to a specific scorpio on a thread or a scorpio in my life.

Exhibit a:

Posted by TachibanaSan
question that you
should be asking:
'can this scorpio
co-worker be
trusted'. only her.

not 'a scorp female'
as your co-worker
does not think, nor
speak, nor act like
every scorp woman.
Here you are telling someone to refrain from generalizing scorpios.

Which is what you just did in this thread, regarding cancers.

You're preaching, but guilty of the exact behaviour.

if giving an opinion
is preaching then
no longer do i wish
to bore you with my
mantras then.

i can pull up posts
of you generalizing
so much, but that is
a waste of time with
someone like you.

i am sure there are
better things for you
to do and fill yourself
with.

besides, OP liked
my comment, so
obviously she took
no offense at all.
none was intended.
No ones offended. I'm just saying what you said isn't sign specific since generalizations bother you regarding "scorpio".

well then from now on
i will be sure to stress
exactly who i am talking
about, like i always used
to do in the first place.

and even then, it fell on
deaf ears and blind eyes.
there are plenty of posts
of mine when i did yet....
of course you dont pull
those up, now do you?

OMG my mom is soooooo sensitive to even the smallest criticism! And she wines endlessly about how her family doesn't love her anymore because we all grew up and got our own lives and cant call her and chat for hours every day. I love her, but I can't deal.

And a cancer guy I was with was really offended that I told him that I didn't think we wanted the same things...Apparently telling him that I don't like being constantly blown off by him, and that I want to focus on finding a real relationship, was a personal attack on his masculinity? IDK, Those were his words...

So yes, in my experience, Cancers as extremely sensitive.

People have never said im sensitive, they say Im dramatic which is very true. Im definitely not a cry baby, Im not easy to bother. Definitely sensitive though in the sense that, If I see a sore, blood, hear a violent story anything bad, emotionally or physically...I have a hard time dealing. If i see someone who's hurt physically, the back of my knee hurts, like i get throbbing pain (IRL though. Big action movies fan). Im very sensitive to other people's feelings.

that is not being
sensitive as it is
being childish.
Didn't you notice Tachi? We are the anti-bullies of the Zodiac. This means we protect the underdog, fight the bullies and herd everyone into a shells with us for warm cookies and milk 😄
I like milk and cookies Š
Yes but you guys also want major gratitude for doing so..

Lol so true. Im the mother of the "After everything i've done for you" line. 'I don't care if you didn't ask me to. I love you, You think I was just gonna let you suffer?! Now appreciate me" That is my reasoning. 😄

One of the owners of the company I work for is very emotional.. He takes everything personal. How do I know this he shows it in his expressions..but if you ask him oh no everything is wonderful. He is the most confusing creature on the planet...if I'm not smiling and happy all the time he takes it personal. He is so moody and changes so much, I honestly don't know if I can work for him. I'm a Libra and I find this behavior unsettling, my scales are all over the place.

Any tips on how I can handle this, should I ignore him? If I do... He'll take it personally. I know they like to be treated like King's but sometimes I have to work!!
I have no idea lol because that would annoy me too. I say ignore him hes a man and shouldn't take itbso personal and relax. Or if u dont want to b too harsh have empathy and maybe dont take it personal on his reactions it can go both ways. Like when ppl r being a certain way toward me i just dont feed into it. We can control us and how we perceive and handle ppl.

This post is being sensitive to the fact people call sensitive people sensitive.

See you can even talk about Cancer suns sensitivity without being sensitive, and its spreading because now I'm being sensestive about sensitive people talking about other sensitive people being sensitive.

Fuck my life.

Being sensitive means you can take offense more easily when none is intended, especially if the other person is very short. Caps are good at being like this without realize it which is why they are our opposite. On the other hand this gives you a gift of being able to read other people's emotions and intentions. All the water signs have this trait, but cancers show the hurt a little more openly than the other signs.

Sensitive doesn't necessarily mean easily upset or easily made to cry. It means you are, however, very in tune with the influence/effect something has over/towards you (or it may not even be towards you but a thought within itself that inevitably causes you to feel something about it, i.e., the thought of someone else you don't know suffering could affect you greatly).

I think being sensitive is a really good thing although it comes with its downside... I'm highly sensitive myself, so I tend to feel everything very deeply, am easily touched or moved by something (esp if it really hits home).

As for Cancers being sensitive, they're one of the more feely-signs, and by that I mean that they are more likely than others to be emotionally invested into other people, causes, etc., and because they are usually fascinated with the power of emotions (and can know how to be manipulative with these emotions!), their sensitivity and feelings are their driving force / motivation. If you touch upon their emotions, being that they are so in tune with their feelings, you are activating their sensitivities...

Nothing wrong with that, honestly... I wouldn't take it to heart (as in, be upset about it) to be known as someone who's sensitive. I value that in a person.
Your right i agree with that
