I push away the people I love the most away over the stupidest fights. I can never just put my foot in my mouth and realize that the fight we are having isn't as important as this person is. Have any other capricorns realized something similar? Or learned how to control how stubborn they are?

I think you guys are way too insular for your own good. Turns people off.

Smell the roses once in a while, its okay. Too focused on what you have and don't have (materialism) than others.

You just can't bother with people. That's fine, but don't be mad when they can't be bothered with you.

Well seems like you are just biased against us.

When I was younger I had this issue. I just never knew when to shut the fuck up, lol.

Now that I've matured I take the time to think before I speak and try and use more rational thinking instead of emotional.

@Emily - i have quite a few capri friends and most of them have the same issue. But the best part of this is that you guys are direct and tell it as it appears to you. My best friend is a capri guy and this got him into a lot of trouble when younger. Thankfully we have together managed to curb his impulsiveness. Its not that hes stopped being a total jerk at times, but he has learnt that relationships are better than perceived hurt. And he has learnt the importance of an apology. But omg is he stubborn as a mule! Lol

Its cause you guys have a huge-ass ego to mask your deeply hidden insecurity and ultra-sensitive core. You are basically Cancerians in a business suit.

ROFL - thats the most hilarious comparison I have heard! You have made me think now - might have to ask my Capri friend but he may not take too lightly to being compared to my Cancer friend. I think I will save this in my armour!
