Lady Capricorns, I beckon you...

Since I'm writing a story involving astrology, there is something I want to have a super solid grasp on.
Capricorns.

My questions to you fair-women are the following:

-Do you feel you're an exception to the general trend of women being more emotional? (In general, happy, upset, flustered, etc)
-How often do you have to deal with fear? (Fear of failure, fear of injury, etc)
-Since Capricorns get called socially awkward, how do you view this view on us and does it reflect you or any Caps in your lives in anyway?
-On average, how long does it take for someone to prove themselves trustworthy to you?
- We all know that Capricorns, once that ambition kicks in, work HARD. Though play usually get's ignored. If you don't mine sharing, tell us a time you remember in your life when you played your hardest?
- Have you ever been told to model? If so, did it make feel more self-conscious about your appearance or less?

Thank you for sharing! It's funny, the fishtail part of our sign represents the watery emotional/subconscious stuff, yet most people miss that.
Instead calling us sociopaths. 😆

The Cap modeling, you think we'd own it, since we age slowly physically.

You're welcome.

Right! I try my best to control the emotions, then people are completely thrown off when I explode or just burst into tears lol. Then I feel really embarrassed by my outburst.

It sucks cause they look at you in shock and are like:
You actually have a temper? YOU? Really? wow...

Meanwhile you're in damage control mode and shocked that the simple notion that you have emotions is breaking news to them.

What's your moon sign, if you don't mine me asking?

Do you feel you're an exception to the general trend of women being more emotional? (In general, happy, upset, flustered, etc)
I'm more unemotional on the outside, but I do feel a lot on the inside. I can be externally emotional when hurt or angry, though.

-How often do you have to deal with fear? (Fear of failure, fear of injury, etc) .
Every day. If I'm confident, I'm not afraid. But most of the times I can be fearful. New job? Fear of failure. Social situation with people I don't know well? Fear of rejection. Injury? I'm not a risk taker - plus I can't afford to miss work because of an injury and I don't want to suffer the pain.

-Since Capricorns get called socially awkward, how do you view this view on us and does it reflect you or any Caps in your lives in anyway?
Sure, I'm socially awkward. I don't have the gift of gab or the gift of making people I don't know feel important. I am okay with small talk, but I'm not going to open up to an acquaintance and that probably gets noticed so people feel like I'm hard to get to know.

-On average, how long does it take for someone to prove themselves trustworthy to you?
Baby steps. Trust them with one small thing, then something a little bigger until they prove they're trustworthy. It could be quick or take a while depending on the quantity of time. If one small thing gets betrayed, then there's never going to be any real trust.

- We all know that Capricorns, once that ambition kicks in, work HARD. Though play usually get's ignored. If you don't mine sharing, tell us a time you remember in your life when you played your hardest?
Playing the hardest - probably in college when my apartment was party central and the party was every night (after an afternoon of studying of course).

- Have you ever been told to model? If so, did it make feel more self-conscious about your appearance or less?
No, never.

If this helps, I bond with people through work. I'm most comfortable having "something to do". My two BFFs, I met through a previous job.
I make friends in town by volunteering or getting involved in an organization. For example, such as when my son was a senior, I was involved in Project Graduation. I didn't know many of the other moms and didn't know what to talk to them about before or after meetings but after a few fundraisers, with something to "work" on, I felt like I made friends with the other moms.

@truecap

Thank you for responding! Also MODEL. If appearance isn't appealing to you, then in morals. 🙂

Since you're a double Cap (Sun and Moon), did you ever have to struggle with of limiting your reactions when something/someone hurt you? Since Capricorns get called ruthless on occasion, the wrath of double Cap would in theory be legendary. 😆

Try triple! Add that capricorn mercury! lol!!!

As far as limiting reactions, sure. I try. I can say some pretty cold and hurtful things (aqua mars).
It's the tears when I'm so frustrated and angry that don't always get controlled and that is what I kick myself for the most.

Depends on the situation and who it is that drives the emotion and reaction. The hurt, I can shut down externally (unless it's someone I really, really love that hurts me). The hurt anger or frustration is tears. The anger is cold and calm (scarily calm).

1. Yes I'm very emotional, but you'd never tell what I'm going through from the outside. I just feel like it's no one's business to know how I'm feeling, they're my own emotions to deal with. I can confide in some people, but I'm just not over dramatic about it like some other signs are when talking about my emotions. I'm very much like Truecap, I feel like if I'm at the point of crying I've lost all control of myself over the hurt and when angered I'm eerily quiet.

2. Fear? It's pretty much an every day thing lol. I just feel like I have a good grasp on what I'm capable of, and my fear is not bringing my very best to a situation that I want to succeed in. At times, I go into things telling myself if that person did it that well, I will do it 100x better, and I'm willing to put in hard work and go the extra mile to succeed at it.

3. I feel like I'm socially awkward, but the people I'm around don't seem to think so. Lol. I think it's all about being able to adapt to your surroundings. I can take a while to warm up sometimes, but if the person I'm interacting with is meeting me half way, I will also.

4. It takes me a while to trust someone definitely. Start with small things like if they're the type to twist my words around to other people. If at work, I'll delegate a small task.

5. College, I partied haaaaard..after all my work was done of course. I still play whenever I make the time for it.

6. Yes I've been told I should model before. It felt good to hear of course, but it also made me self conscious bcuz in a way it felt like I had more pressure to live up to that standard daily. I just do me though.

1. We are very emotional!!!!!
2. I deal with fear maybe once a week. Idk I don't really think about it.
3. I don't find myself to be socially awkward just reserved until I warm up to my surroundings.
4. It takes a while to prove themselves to me but usually I will do some investigating prior to getting serious about that person just to see what type of person are they or what type of reputation do they have
5. The times I played the hardest was for homecoming during college. BUT of course I made sure all my work was done before I played hard. I still stick to this rule til this day. Work first, play second.
6. I have been told that I should model and it does make me feel a lot better about myself that someone would think I'm pretty enough to model. But modeling isn't my thing

Is this still a thing?

yup! Share~

1. embarassingly emotional but now really showing
2. I fear for everything and everyday
3. Awkward? Maybe. I am really rally picky.
4. When someone passed numerous test
5. Between 20 and 33
6. I laugh out coz seriously I think they are joking.

1)I am very emotional but you would never be able to tell unless you know me very well and if I trust you. I am able to rationalise and be pragmatic about my emotions than most of my friends and women around me. I am also better at hiding them. Though I can rationalise, I feel intensely & I dont know how to express and deal with those emotions. Its like they're always playing in my head on a loop.

2) Very, very often, my biggest fear in life is failing and being mediocre. I do not like being average and I will never be that. I have always been the best at whatever I have done, especially when it comes to grades, being successful & doing well in life. Not being financially, emotionally and mentally stable is another thing that puts me on the edge.

3) To a certain degree, I guess I am awkward when it comes to expressing my emotions, you wont find me gushing over a baby and going all "awww" or openly expressing my feelings in public. You have to be close enough to me for me to be able to really open up & show my emotions. I suppose I may come across as quiet, reserved, cold or rude initially which isn't my intention. If I am quiet, its because I am out of my comfort zone, I am only doing so to protect myself, withdrawing into my shell is a self defence mechanism especially if I feel self conscious.

4) Longer than it is for the rest of the people.I know when I started at Uni & changed schoolsi it took me almost a year to really open up to people & start trusting them. I guess I subtly test people to see whether they're worthy of my trust. I'd rather have a few close friends who I can really trust and rely on.

5) Got my grades for the first semester exams at Uni. Went on a Bar crawl with friends, did a shot in each bar (over 10) Don't remember half of that night. As someone who hates losing control and works very hard to protect my image and what people perceive me as, thats the wildest thing I have done. After I got really good grades in my second semester grades, got home, packed my backpack took a cab to the airport and bought the cheapest ticket I could to a country far away (It turned out to be Thailand) & backpacked for 3 weeks. Its the most spontaneous thing I have ever done.

6) Yes, I have been told to model. I am someone who does not wear make up often, perhaps only on special occasions. I feel confident and comfortable in my skin, I believe in that I shouldn't have to look my best for people to like me. People should accept me for who I truly am, without my face slathered in make up. What I look like shouldn't make a difference, its the person inside that counts. Thats not to say I dont enjoy putting on make up but its just not an everyday look for me. Its almost that if you like the worst version of me, without make up then only do you deserve to see the best version of me when I am done up. I was approached to model on a non make up day, obviously I was flattered, other than that it didnt make me feel self conscious.
