Which of the Capi "not so nice" traits do you find yourself having to fight to hold back the most?


For me, I have little patience for pitty parties. I will give you time, space, whatever you need for a specified period of time then SUCK IT UP AND MOVE ON!! I find myself having to hold this back a lot....mostly because....I'm a psychologist! LOL Seriously though, please limit your pitty party to 50 mins at a time. I have things to do!

*sorry* I need a booster shot of empathy now. 🙂

Realism cutting to the edge words that would make your back spasm.




LOL , THOSE got me in trouble A LOT as a kid! When an adult would say somthing I "KNEW" was dumb I'd say, "let's just agree to disagee". I never saw the problem with my approach LOL

As kids Caps can be a handful because they are the adult. Caps were made to be fathers and or bosses like a sense of a Scorps power or the dreaminess of a Pisces I rarely find them without toteing there stereotypes. Balance is essential.

Okey Doke.

Cp/Carib: -Nods-

Negative Traits:

1. Boredum with the world in general as well as the sheep mentality.

2. Complaining about laziness but ignoring the tools in your eyesight.

3. Not relaxing when on the hunt for something.

4. Moods:

Example 1. I feel cool but for some reason warm sounds better.

Example 2. I'm in a "nice" mood instead of a constructive critism mood and people wonder what happened and where did Al go.

5. Order.

Indeed, they made it about me...and as you all know me I dont mind being in the spotlight..at all 😄



Oh yes you do when the spotlight is a inch wrong you run. Let it be a "bad" spotlight we won't even see your tail as your body drags it around a corner.



Alright you two, I like you both, so let's not get a spat started, and get back on topic. If you two would like a separate thread geared towards Virgos (and how to make them bat shit crazy while never getting caught) I will gladly oblige at a later date. 🙂

What are some other negative Cap traits folks?

Wahhhhhh I thought this was all fun.......and getting to the bottom of things. And yes as I stated earlier....I think on topic might be preferred.

I'm too much of a realist and give an honest, real opinion about something. Most of the time people take this as cold and non-caring. But I have my opinions and I stick to them. I never go with the popular opinion - I've got my own! Sometimes it comes out as blunt and hurts people's feelings, sometimes it comes off as strong willed, sometimes stubborn, sometimes it's in the favor of the underdog, sometimes its sweet. Ya never know what you're going to get!

And, I don't have time or patience for people who won't help themselves and just want to whine about what they don't have instead of making an effort to get what they want! That fustrates the tar out of me!

And, little tolerance for stupidity and people who can't control their emotions.

I'm exxtrreemly sensitive too, and a bit selfish but I'm considerate with my selfishness.

Me-i want to go to the mall
Friend-okay, ill go with you. I wanna stop by the grocery store too.
Me-But I don't want to go to the grocery store. Plus I'm going to be tired.
Friend-well I need to get something from the grocery store.
Me-weellll....i dont want to go. I have an idea though. Howabout I go to the mall by myself and you go to the grocery store by yourself? That way we'll both go where we want.

Problem solved AND I managed to look out for the both of us. See, my selfishness isn't so bad lol.

But seriously its basically how it goes when it comes to me being selfish.
I'm not going anywhere I don't want or doing anything I don't want to do. The good thing is I don't ask or require others to tag along with me.

Maybe this is all why I don't have many friends?!? LoL

Inana..you have just brought up something about cap women I REALLY wanted to discuss at some point, your example literally explains perfectly the point I wanted to make too. Its something that to this day I still dont understand about you girls, it seems no matter how close you are with someone, you will still try to get your own way :S I guess compromise is not an easy thing for caps..

And yes, if Im blunt about it.. I think that could be a reason you dont have many friends.

LoL! I have to admit I need ALOT of work in that area. I've gotten so use to doing things by myself too til I'll get impatient and even a bit irritated being on someone else's time. I'd hate to say I'm already stuck in my ways but I don't really know what will make me compromise more.

Now I'm not bad when it comes to me going somewhere and helping in some way. For example, I'm my sisters personal stylist it seems so I go from store yo store watching her try on outfits and helping her pick them out. Its just when I'm either set on doing something or I don't think what your doing/where your going is entertaining that I'll kind of find an excuse to do my own thing. I know it sounds a bit cringe-worthy but I'm being honest.

YES!! this Ive noticed too so looking at it from this angle makes it a bit contradictory to say you girls are selfish :S this is the one thing you dont disappoint people in, of course..if its someone you have a good bond with hehe.

On that same note, I have also noticed that cap guys tend to be less selfish and more easy going/cooperative than the girls.



My Cappy friend is so cool. He's always out and inviting me and others to go places. I don't think he's like that at all. My mothers Cap ex was though. He'd give you money to go do whatever while he'd chill at home. He didn't like going much of anywhere period let alone going with her somewhere.

Well, it doesn't hurt that it's something I like to do lol. I could see how getting the Cap involved by asking our help can get us to compromise a bit more...maybe lol. My Cap friend has been trying to get me to the Comedy show forever but I just refuse. If he was to say "lnana04, I need your help picking a comedian for a show I'm having" I just might go lol. We're never above being tricked into something btw. My virgo sis does it to me all the time.

I'll share a very recent example of this:

A week ago, my good cap female friend and I organised a trip to the beach with some other people (I think we were around 8 in total) everything was going great though the cappy had told me a day before everything she wouldnt be playing any games I had proposed to play with everyone (beach volley, etc) cause all she really wanted to do was to lay on the beach and get tanned, I was like "cool, no problem" (though in the back of my head I was thinking "wow, I know she likes planning and all but to have such defined plans with days in advance? lol")

Anyway, the day comes...it takes us about one and half hour to get to the beach. At some point we are all having fun (or so it seemed to me) so after only a few hours of having arrived there, the eight of us are just chatting and joking around, all of a sudden the cap says: "guys, how long more do you guys want to stay? cause I think I will want to leave soon again, Im kind of bored and you know me..I cant stand still for too long in one place" :S suddenly there was like silence all around and we were all looking at each other like "WTF??" Im pretty sure everyone else was having a good time and the cap could see this too..I think normally in cases like these people are more of teamplayers and would do at least a bit of effort not to ruin the collective fun, to put it that way..
I was just really disappointed about her for this, a bit pissed too so I kind of made a few sarcastic comments, nothing serious though, no problem or anything. I guess in my head it is al

Yeah I see this all the time too! and you might not realize this but the fact you girls keep refusing on doing things with people who appreciate you (things outside of your comfort zone, like the Comedy thing in your case lol) makes the other person momentarily insecure about him/herself: "am I so not important to her that shes always refusing to do stuff with me?" or "is really everything I propose to do with her, boring?" I think you people have little idea of how much discomfort you cause in others with this attitude..

Oh wow, she was on some other stuff. I personally couldn't imagine doing it like that.

If I was ever THAT ready to leave I'd hitch hike a ride home before ruining it for everyone. Y'all should have either looked at eachother and started laughing or completely ignored her. I hit the ignore button quick when someone thinks the show revolves around them.

I'll admit that its possible wanting to exit a little sooner than others but you have to have a plan to where your exit doesn't affect everyone else and their stay.

I'm not trying to ever hurt anyone's feelings, ever, but I'm a bit aware that it doesn't always sit well. Personally that's why I accept the consequences of not having many friends or boyfriends because I know my "ways" can be a bit to deal with and I kind of keep a distance so I won't draw someone in and hurt them. I'm sensitive so I know. Im just not the best at pretending as it comes off as being so obvious, which brings other issues. I'm a looney Cap, so I tend to stay away from most. I dislike to hear that you are running into this same behavior.

Sounds like me in my younger days...yup not a "teamplayer" if it's something I don't enjoy.

Why be sarcastic? She was being a selfish brat and you should have called her on it. Guarantee she will pull this shit again!
