Capricorn and their amazing self control

How are you able to be SO contained, practical, and un-wavering??
Does anything actually get to you?

Rolls eyes back - who is spamming?!

I have a bit of self control on the outside, on the inside I'm a fiery emotional mess lol.

I hear that Capricorns have huge, well controlled tongues. Eager to hear more, but dammit, the thread was cancelled.

Also, knowing that people say or do things to get a reaction otu of you. And it's like no, i'm not playing your game. You're going to play mine. This game is usually "I don't give a fuck, and you need to shut up and go away." lol.

+1

But I am always curious to see where people can get with me by trying. I let it happen so I can further adjust those insecurities I need to take care of...

Confidence is the main difference between us and everyone else!

What Stillwater said.

It's not easy. I might feel differently inside, but I'll damned if you're going to know about it. I'm going to do my best not to let on someone upset me. A few will know, but that's about it. If someone knows they've pushed your button, it gives them power. Don't give away the power, maintain dignity and never let em see ya sweat.

It's what I refer to as sheilding up and turning off the emotions. Thinking about all the angles and deciding the best path to take and how to move forward.

It's all about perception.

It is knowing every action has a re-action and every response has a consequence like a ripple effect. So, what kind of an effect would you like to have? What kind of a re-action would you like to cause? These questions are the reason one would stop and think. (I know. What an innovative concept to actually think about consequences!)

well put. this is def the mentality i take in stressful situations. falling apart or getting mad at the cause helps nothing and no-one.

This can be a double-edged sword.

That was my ex-husband's main complaint...that I didn't "need" him and it made him feel inadequate as a husband.

What sign was your ex? I forgot.

The Gem said I acted like that and to make matters worse, I didn't listen to him. Well, he never stuck with one opinion very long, I learned not to. lol!!!

But, aquas like that you don't "need" them, but you just want them around and want their opinions. Another cap would probably like that too.

I feel so much the same with u guys!
My Virgo been thinking that I am selfish cos I appear to not need him to rely on. It's weird cos I rather do everything myself!

I am usually controlled and never allow people to get under my skin but my kids dad (leo) AND the scorpio each have ways of getting under my skin jumping out of my character; I swear I am trying to be able to get over what they do. PLUS, people who do get under my skin an almost make me lose control I lose them because otherwise the cap temper comes out to full bloom

Since I'm just now really allowing myself to look into this, my sign and what not (Long back story, raised christian Astrology= Auto Evil etc etc etc.), I've noticed it's only certain things that I can control my outward control with. It's weird...when I get angry it's like I'm..melting or becoming disjointed, quite literally! Like you can actually see it (in my face, my eyes, I start to shake...)! BUT, again, that's only with some things or people rather...hm. On the other side, I have been told by an ex gf (Aquarius) that I was cold, that I didn't seem to let anything effect me, which I thought was absolutely preposterous because I felt like the opposite was happening, I felt (still feel like) like my heart is on my sleeve. My current bf (capricorn) says this about me as well. I have to wonder, why it works the way it does and with who? Do any other Caps go through this?

I just reread all that, damn that was a confusing comment lol.

If the Scorp and I have a problem, this is our main one.
He likes to try to push the buttons. And I absolutely will not give him the satisfaction. Lol.
