So all you Caps know that we are pessimistic ass people. The glass is half full, it's partially cloudy rather than partially sunny, etc.... I fight this mentality on a daily basis and I really try to work on seeing the brighter side of things.

I'm doing real estate in NYC of all places and it's like being thrown in a tank of sharks.

But today someone told me I was "outgoing' and I was like "wow, really?" I don't think I am, but I guess if others see me as that, then I am...

Do other Caps desire to be more outgoing? I find myself jealous sometimes of some of the other signs that can easily get along with others or can easily break the ice with other people.

I have found that the older I get, the more outgoing I am. Perhaps it comes with age and confidence. I'm not afraid anymore - of rejection, of looking stupid, of saying anything dumb. ??

Oh, the glass is not half empty - it just means there's more room for Vodka! hahahahaha! Always the realist!

haha My mom is a Cap bless her.. I remember as a kid she'd try to tell her life story to everything with an ear.. haha (Or at least it seemed that way)

'Mom, Come on, lets go' 'I don't think the cashier lady wants the breakdown and back story on why your buying apples' hhahaha

@TaurGuy, I didn't know your mom was a Capricorn!

Yes, I desire to be more outgoing all the time. I can be little envious of more outgoing/friendlier people as well.

I'm like BlazingGoat in sometimes people think I'm more outgoing than I am. I have a Leo moon, so when introduced to someone I have a huge smile and this bubbling personality for the first minute or so, then my Cap side kicks in which kind of forces me to go have a seat somewhere, alone, and allow the two conflicting energies battle each-other lol. The Cap side always wins in the end, but the Leo moon always misleads with that intro.

all caps are realistic and not pessimistic.... so what makes you not being realistic but pessimistic? just curious? is it that you have too much water on your chart?

I'm realistic in the sense that I see things for what they are. If I have a goal in mind, I always try to think of the best way to go about it rather than just sit around and wait for it to happen.

I'm pessimistic in the sense that I sometimes am impatient and want to see results of my work quickly. If I don't, I feel like it will never happen. I tend to jump to untrue assumptions based on my own insecurities. I really work now to keep myself in check with all these emotions that don't really exist. All good things come to those who wait!

Its all relative, probably that person is extremely shy and reserved, so anyone slightly different than that will probably be outgoing in his/her book.

True this works for alot of wrongly placed labels my friend tells me im a know it all and I tell him he doesn't know shit. -.-

I'm super outgoing!! But I'm only a puny little Cap moon so that might be why 🙂 I'm goofy, aloof and clowny and very laid-back UNTIL you wanna peel back some onion layers and talk about deeper emotions.......shutdown.

I'm a Cap moon too (as well as sun). I agree with what you just said.
