Do any other Caps. just love hanging out w/ themself, and prefer their own company over others' alot of the time? Yes, this condition would be called being "a hermit." LOL 😉

But honestly, I often enjoy weekend nights having dinner out nearby and then watching a movie at home w/ my dog and a bottle of wine, and a bubblebath. I mean, I must have this time alone to feel recharged, relaxed, and ready for the work week...

So... any other goats want to 'fess up that they find themselves to be their best friend? 😛

ha!

i'll fess up. i'm some of my favorite company. i have spent many a night doing my own thing when i could have been partying or hanging out with friends simply because i prefered being alone. happily alone. 🙂 however, i wouldn't say that means that i like myself too much.

"We only show people some side of it at any given time and depending upon the people we are with. Even those that profess to know us and we say " you seem to know me very well" really don't because they just know the side we show them."

i can agree with that. its hard for me to understand why i am that way. i dont think i like the idea of someone anticipating me because they know me.

"Ours is just that we don't know and are done because we feel uncomfortable showing all our sides" - What makes you think Scorpios are not that way? We are to a certain extent. But I don't think we are afraid of showing who we are to the extent a cap is..

I don't think I am mysterious but for some god forsaken reason, people think they don't know the REAL me...I don't do it purposely its just the way I am. I get accused by my CAP.."you know everything about me, but I don't really know any intricate detail about you"...Yes..nice way of trying to extract it out of me..how do I know what you've told me is the real you..lol..This could go on forever..but he's confessed that I know his deepest insecurities and he doesn't know any of mine..But I would never use them against him..I am just not that way inclined..

And as for Caps hiding behind the facade people create for them, they do that rather well...Its usually a response such as "well if you think thats who I am, then yeah I am like that, or who am I to argue."...lol..**rolls eyes**

apart from myself i like to be with my imaginary "friend"

At night I lay
where moonlight plays
and pools its magic round me
enchanting me, it sets me free
as sensual thoughts surround me.
I drift away,
and go astray
to thoughts of sinful pleasure
of wonderous, wild, and wicked wants
all locked up, like a treasure.

whenever i get invited to go somewhere i would humbly reject. i prefer my own company over others.

fact: capricorns likes to do the disappearance act
fact: we're loners

I like this topic as a lot of my Cap buddies are loners. One of my close friends will tell me that the reason she didn't call me over a weekend was because she was sitting at home, enjoying the rain, and enjoying her 'me' time. That will be her excuse for not calling back. At least she's honest.

As my Cap guy is getting older, he's finding that he no longer wants to go out that much. He doesn't like talking when he gets home from work because that's his time to unwind and enjoy his 'me' time. He is actually starting to enjoy going out less and less and would rather sit at home, chilling out, and watching movies.

Alone time is absolutely essential in a relationship. It helps bring you closer together. As long as you can respect each others "me" time.

I think its possible for a cap to you let you know the complete them. And its a nice place to be. I love anyone I can be a psychologist to. That really helps bring me closer to that person. I love helping/motivating people. And for my partner, I would go above and beyond the call of duty. If they are worth it. Well of course they will be worth it, I wouldn't be with them otherwise!..lol

I am actually a homebody myself..Must be the virgo in me!..

Good question, TaurusGirl!

I'd have to say that you would never ever truly know a Cap. They don't wear their hearts on their sleeves. If they're suffering, they tend to internalize it. If they're upset with you, they avoid you until they get over it to the point that they don't feel the need to rehash things out with you. If they're scared of things, they don't admit fear but outwardly dismiss it. They will open up to you in the rarest of times and the moment will be so brief. I'm not speaking of Cap males although I'm sure they're similar but I've known my Cappie female best friends for years and years. They are hard to crack. And sometimes, you won't even feel that there is a need to crack them because they seem like they're okay and that everything is running smoothly in their lives. Months later, they might tell you how pissed off they were at you for something you barely remember and for assuming that they were alright.

Sorry to ramble.

Lol @ LWCA..

The day after my meeting with the cap, he asked me whether i was nervous when we met so I said..yeah I was a bit cos you don't know what to expect do you..I was being honest..but when I asked him he replied rather self-assured, No, I wasn't nervous at all..etc..What he didn't realise was that I saw his hands were shaking when we were looking at the menu and also he was speaking at like 100 miles an hour!...LMAO!..Awww..poor baby!

I like my own company a lot too, however I have a spot for a very select few people whom I can tell almost anything.

I feel protective of those people, so I dislike when I am talking to them and others but in.

I also feel like I'd like a partner who I could treat this way too.... someone who makes me feel as comfortable as I am when I'm alone.

Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Don't people find you wierd when you are walking around alone, or when you tell people you spent the weekend going out alone?

Yea, Capricious, I think my family members are starting to find me "weird" when they call expecting to hear about my adventure-packed, busy life during the weekends, and when I don't have stories to offer through which these married people can live vicariously... Sorry to disappoint you all... but I'm on my own and able to be alone which is far better than codependency or breaking up or getting divorced and not being able to handle spending time by yourself. I have a Virgo friend who is constantly running around from one social function to the next, and who cannot stand spending an evening at home by herself. She has a beautiful condo and it's just sad that she is so afraid to be by herself for a moment.

pity me...cap sun, taurus moon, scorp venus. 🙂 you can imagine the effect i have on people.
i am fine with being alone though. always doing something. either researching something or doing something creative. love to be with one special man. not a party person at all. only once in a great while. can't stand crowds. to me there's just not enough time in the day to do all the things i want to do, and other people just get in the way sometimes, as does alcohol and a hangover. not that i ignore my few friends and family. thankfully they love me for who i am.
