It's rumoured that capricorn folks are aggressive. As a capricorn myself I tried to deny this to death, until I had to see it right in the face with a couple of capricorn women.
I realized and I am sorry to have to say this that cappies like to give out the impression that they are dignified, independent and can do without anyone. But the truth is different. Many are aggressive, pathetic, lonely, miserable, and needy for affection.
I know I have avoided one or two cappies like a plague, but I wonder if if these cappies are the victims of their sun signs or other circumstances. They talked a lot, asked my questions, some of them are way too personal, avoided talking about themselves, or their families, and hurt your feelings with their harsh words.
I would like to think of myself as an exceptionally nice person and although being a capricorn, I am not aggressive, or lonely, etc. At least I am working hard on being a caring, loving person, but why is it hard at times? Does anyone know?

My mother-in-law is a Cappie and after 16 years I can still say she is one of the sweetest people I know. Actually, we have never had a cross word between us! I don't find her to be aggressive, pathetic, lonely, miserable, or needy. But, she isn't perfect nor am I.

One thing I have to remind myself often is....I can only be responsible for my own actions and not others.

Hmmm.. I'm not aggressive (only perhaps in the boudoir, but that's another matter entirely). Sometimes loneliness creeps in but there's always something to do to dispel that.
Miserable..definitely not; needy for affection, I'll admit to that- it's more an underlying need that surfaces from time to time...most of the time it's hidden in the subconscious. I like to think I'm in control of my emotions, but in reality..geez, I'm like a volcano ready to erupt- it scares the heck out of me!

As a Cap, I confuse myself cuz I emit this aloof, reserved characteristic to the world whereas deep down I long to be free and open to everything and everyone. At 42, I haven't acquired the know-how, but at this 'peak in age', I sure am gonna persevere until I get it right!

Simplyme has a excellent point. perhaps we do jinx ourselfs One can face the ugly issues and realties of life. But the emotional and personal relations seems to be more of a area we jinx. I will have to think on this for awhile and your right I will over analyse the hell out of it.

Aggressive when doing what? Driving, house cleaning,yard work, In your work habbets fine with other people assertive works best for me. You stand your ground you make your point with out invading other peoples space or pissing them off.

As far as aggressiveness goes, I'm passive. All the way. I do not go out of my way for very much, preferring to simply wait until things can turn to my advantage without the risk or the extra energy that is spent going to get that thing right away. The few times that I am not completely docile, I usually end up hitting a brick wall at full sprint. HOWEVER, this does not mean that on the inside I sit by and watch the world go round either. I over analyze my own analyses! I even had a girl refuse to date me once because I analyzed things too much. She didn't like that, apparently... But at any rate, I prefer to think of myself as something of the Godfather sort, or like Lord Toranaga from the novel Shogun. I don't expose things all that often, which people really don't like sometimes because I think it just plain seems like I have more to tell about than I actually do.

to simplyme In the work world if a woman is assertive she is know as the aggressive cookiemonster. If a man is assertive he is known as leader. In the personal world she is known as the one who wares the pants. The man is known as the man of the house. Why ? When it comes to the sexs the assertive women win. Then we call them manipulative.Why ? I am a cap and most of the caps I know are driven to excell at something. The ones I know do this mostly in bussiness. and most of them get ahead in life. To do this they must be assertive andif that doesent work we do get a little aggressive.

Josh a godfather sort is not aggressive!!!! How do you assertively do a hit on someone? I love you man. You do not want to be aggressive but maybe we should whack someone to get our point across assertively.

Ask my fiancee and she will agree that i am a very SUBMISSIVE male. I know. I seen her complain about that. Oh well. Ha! I am beyond aggressive. The only time you see me get AGRESSIVE is if you either A) Hit a child in front of me OR B) Grab my woman in front of me. I can go from my gentleman,cool,shy,sweet and quiet self - To instant aggressive asshole!!! i wouldn't think twice to take someone out who disrespects my woman - Or child!!

Don't forget it capgirl75. 😉 Most people see me at a party. Usually in a corner drinking a beer all quiet. I am always calm,cool and collected. Nothing really bothers me. I can let almost anything roll off me. I Usually keep to myself. So people think i must be some pansy. Total opposite. I do NOT like conflict. BUT If you cross a line. Suffer the wrath. Ha Ha Ha

Sounds like something i would of done. I actually beat a man without a warning. He grabbed my girl, tried to stick his tongue down her throat and said. Let me show you how you really need to be fucked. Yea. I charged him like a rhino. Beat him really hard. Oh well. I tolerate like disrespect. He knew she was my lady. He acted like a complete douche nozzle. And so, he got his.
