Why is it that in any random situation we as Caps are not afraid to speak our minds regardless what may happen.But when it comes to relationships we take a more observer roll and focus everything internally instead of speaking out.

Either we dont know what exactly or how to say it ..but its like we become mute and slowly shut ourselves down.The ones to walk over us the most is the ones we love. Kinda sucks doesnt it.

I am very cautious and talk very less in the beginning of relationships. I try to observe and see what the person is all about but once the comfort level is set I say whatever I feel. I think its better for the person to know what I think if he wants to stick with me.

I go cold or shut down when I have lost hope in the person or the relationship.

Because of the position they hold to us.
Co-Worker? Doesn't matter how they feel about the facts, honestly. Tell it like it is and get things done!

Family? Lover? Friends?
...(If I put it like this, they might get upset and I don't want that to happen. How can I tell them this fact/opinion without hurting them?)

Beloved One: Hello? 😢 *waves hand in face*
Capricorn: ...😐 Hi?
Beloved One: So do you think the diet plan I just made up will work? Work out hard one day, eat healthy the next day and then repeat till you get accused of abusing steroids! 🙂
Capricorn: No.
Beloved One: Anguished screaming and crying
Capricorn: ...(Silently freaks out in their head)

I remember when I used to be quiet. I was scared of what people would think of me. I would want respect no matter what. I was scared to be embarrassed or uncomfortable. I was in denial and ashamed of my true self! A complex issue that needed to be taken care of. You must break this pattern in order to become who you were meant to be in life...

Nowadays, I truly get respect from everyone, saying what I feel at that moment, carefully taking consideration in others feelings and opinions. Being honest and sincere has truly brought out a genuine character that shines even through the internet.

Anyone of yous can change if you really wanted too... Practice and patience makes you closer to what you want in life for yourself.
