Soooooo, I can't help feeling like something's the matter but at the same time I feel like it can just be silly and don't know how to verbalize what I'm feeling because I am embarrassed/slow to open up about feelings... Of jealousy... Capricorn asks me what's wrong but I don't know how to tell him I'm jealous.. He starts getting frustrated because I'm not budging... Should I tell him how I feel or just keep it to myself?

It always surprises me how good of a reaction I get when I am just honest with people. Your delivery is important though. If you come off accusatory, the person will not react will and will of course become defensive and shut down. But if you are able to gently help them see how their actions make you feel without using "you" statements, I think you will find that people generally react well and human nature/compassion goes its natural course.

Tell him in a rational, non-emotional, non-accusing way. Otherwise, he will shield up around you. He already senses something is wrong.

You'll feel better and he'll know what's going on.
