Miss FROST

Hey you Caps from around the world!

I'm turning to you to ask you clearing me something up about you guys: are you indeed ice-cold and distant?and business oriented?does love come second or even third for you?

Thank you for illuminating me.

Bella

Hmmm... I know some capricorns who are quite oriented on their families...

...in a money/business-oriented way...lol, just kidding.

actually I have a capricorn aunt, the only capricorn in my entire family, and she really does get all "in there" with the business things and record keeping and stuff like that. and we all secretly laugh at her. lol, just kidding again. she's okay, but she's known for being pretty self-consumed and unless something's happening to her directly, she doesn't show a lot of caring or compassion to other people. She's actually suprememly emotional, rather than unemotional. But I suppose she shows her unemotional side with all the business stuff.

*supremely, not suprememly

one of my goodfriends is a capricorn with an aquarius rising. Shes not cold toward her family(although her parents are) BUT shes not buisness oriented at all, she's not very much into money nor is she at all money hungry.

Personally, I sort of have a reputation where I live and work of being the unemotional, cold, distant type, which of course isn't the case. I have alot of emotion and can actually be a witty bag-o-goodies when I'm inspired.
I think for the most part, it just takes alot to catch my attention, because I'm so task-oriented and busy trying to do something with myself.
(Please... no comments about the porn.)
And I'd say, the people that are closest to me or to whom I've grown the most attached, are usually the initiators. Meaning, they were the ones that were intrigued or curious at first, and they are the ones that usually call more.

But as far as love goes. I wish I could tell you if it came first or not before business. Ideally, yes it should, and that's how I'd want it to be, but Caps get bad press for this in every frickin astrology web site's sun sign characterisation of us.
I personally, feel bad when a close friend of mine doesn't think I care as much for them as I really do. I try to express it, but I am clumsy with words and too much hugging and touching makes me curl. (I really value my personal space.) So, most of my affection is seen, I think, in other ways like always being there in times of need, lending an ear when they need to talk, and being a rock to lean on when they feel they've lost ground. I'm good for that. I'm like that old faithful dog you can always come home to and cheer you up no matter how rough your day has been.

...but that's just me=)

I am a very openly emotional person-and I admire people that can be detached-cause there are times when emotions get in the way.
But it bothers me when it has to be me the one that makes most of the phone calls-eg-makes me feel like I 'm asking for attention or affection;also I want to feel loved and cared for-and the kissing&hugging are like breathing air to me.But I really want them to come from the other person - at least ones in a while.Showing emotions is for this guy like eating a cactus-although I know that he has some feelings.Also verbaly he is so poor at letting me know about the depth of his soul or about how much he missed not seeing me for a long time.
Now it's like I'm in a sort of a war with his suppressed feelings-I imposed myself to behave like him at least until I get the first sign of human emotions! I'm being cruel here,but this is killing my "joie-de-vivre" ( as the french say :joy-of-living)I strongly believe that if I will be tough , I will finally get what I want-and that is making him voice his love ( no matter how weak it is )for me.
Do you think I stand a chance?or is it useless?

Thank you all for your insights.

Alright- the kid is back! Time for insights! (Ah, so THAT's what they're calling them now...)

I am known for being hard to get at. I'm a Capricorn. I have a nervous twitch. I sleep five hours a night. I probably fantasize more than HandiCap. What does that tell you about emotional repression?

...NOTHING! I throw my emotions around all the time, people just don't have good reflexes. They're always missing the point, asking me what I'm thinking, and then combusting because I'm too introspective while all the time I'm throwing underhanded emotional pitches in the hope other people will catch them. I made the mistake once of beaming an ex in the head with an emotional fastball...that was ugly...

Anyway, I doubt it's possible to call a writer/musician/actor emotionally withdrawn. =)

lol.. It's HapiCap!! by the way, (although I did toss that other idea around in my head too=). And that's unfortunate about the emotional "fastball", I had one of those, too, except mine was more of a fumble, I think.
Anyway, bella, I wouldn't lose all hope in this guy. Maybe he is just under the assumption that you understand how deeply (or not so deeply) he cares for you. Have you asked him? Because I wouldn't suspect that he'd EVER just flat out profess his love to you with a megaphone.
I know personally, the more people use the words "I love you", the less potency they tend to have with me, so I choose to never use them until I REALLY MEAN IT.
But you not getting enough displays of the love and affection you'd like, try asking him. GENTLY, but direct. Directness is key, because we're not known for picking up on subtle hints all that well. He may not have a clue that you feel this way!
