Capricorns and Communication Difficulties

Capricorns may find phone calls and emails challenging due to their focus on efficiency and practicality. They prefer written communication that allows them to respond thoughtfully and manage their time effectively. Understanding their communication style can improve interactions and reduce misunderstandings.

Why are we SO bad with these two forms of communication?

Well, at least I am -- I'm terrible with it. When I am busy, I can text people without a problem (πŸ˜„)but I can't talk while doing stuff, not unless the person is in front of me lol. Instanting messaging is even cool but if I'm busy, I simply avoid talking on the phone LOL! My friends want to kill me ...

I am slightly better with email but I'm terrible with phone calls. Its better when people leave messages because at least I know what but its still hard for me to call them back.

I guess its because I can't do what I need to do if I'm running my mouth on the phone ...

I dont know if it's a Cappy Thing, but Im crap at Multi-Tasking.
I get distracted very easily, then forget what i was doing, or how much ive done 😒
Im perfect when im focusing on just "One Thing"
Ive been in the middle of doing an email, then the phone rings, i get distracted and end up
sending off the email without all of the info that was supposed to be in it.

Is this a Cappy Thing, or just me πŸ™‚

I guess I am an exception to the rule because I have no quams about talking on the phone or emailing. I am very good with both, but have been prone to misscommunicate myself from time to time.

For the record no one can technically multi-task. Mutlti tasking can lower IQ and decrease memory function.

Females are more apt at multitasking than guys. However, being a female I know exactly what you are talking about! I just CANNOT multi-task, seriously, I suck at it!!! My girl friends hate me for that, lol. 'Cause I just can't be talkng on the phone and be doing something else....

When I was in high school I would wake up with the phone next to my pillow. Nowadays I can't stand talking to someone on the phone unless it's someone I haven't talked to in a long time or I'm organizing something, planning something...I do a lot of phone work at work, maybe that has a lot to do with it. Usually I text my friends because it saves time and gets to the point.

"hahaha, oh crap Ray, you asked the magic question "

Yes the million dollar question CS. I need a final answer. You can call a friend if you want. πŸ™‚

HAHAHAHA!

Well, I think I have an answer for you πŸ™‚

In relationships, we tend to communicate better I think. See, we know that we have to actually see that probably more than our friends and maybe even our relatives.

Okay, you know it?s hard to have a good relationship better with little communication.

"guess what i had - calamari.....so don't calamari and drink i guess LOL . i usually have calamari with a glass of beer but tbh beer does nothing to me hehe. i cannot take too much caffeine but thank god i have no problem with alcohol LOL. i don't drink much beer tho i'm more of a wine person coz i don't want a beer tummy lol."

You like calamari, I had it a few time but didn?t always like. I like wine as well but I'm not a beet person.

"thx JD. you are a cotton candy . i eat small meals/snacks before and after my night classes. "

You know Cotton candy does your body good. It's proven. I read it on an article somewhere. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

You should have some Cappy meetings sometimes and get to know each other. SG can get quite interesting, typing under wine influence. πŸ˜›πŸ˜›πŸ˜›

Well, I can talk on the phone for hours too! When I have time to that is lol. However, I should stop doing it because I need to keep my phone bill low. I can't have a high phone bill anymore. Nope, I'm on a budget.

Yes I know that Ray. But we caps are better in close romantic relationships. Like I said before, we actually have to see that person more often than not, so we have to communicate or else.
