What is a typical cap

Everywhere I look it says caps are ambitious people only interested in social standing etc. Was I born on the wrong month! I must say that when I do anything I like to bry my best and do it as best I can but I'm not at all ambitious or wanting social status. I am a dreamer constantly playing out wouldbe situations in my head eg I met someone a few months ago and then things went wrong I would love to contact this person but am afraid to in case he rejects me but I continuely play out ways of contacting him etc in my head. Is there any other caps out there like me or am I just a missfit!

I am not ambitious either :-O.
In fact I rarely plot at all ( come what may ). Talk about naive....! I would rather 'fantasize' until reality hits me in the face :-O
What capricorn lacks at times is empathy. They really need to relate to others in a sympathetic, conscientuous manner, and stop being self-centered.
They also can give 'more' freely of their material assets, together with advice which they are tend to give freely, anyway...!
Listening to others, and sharing viewpoints may not be their best assets, but they really need to do just that. Life is all about living and sharing.
I am working hard to 'walk the talk', not just 'talk the talk' above.
Honestly
But at least we are honest, and work to improve ourselves. This is the 1st step, unlike other signs who are not as self critical.

hey there...
Happens to me all the time! 🙂
I feel like i fantasize way too much and i dont plan anything! BUT....a'int fantasizing supposedley considered a fun way of plotting or planning !!?? 🙂
Just a passing thought!

Forgot to add:
I agree and i am sure mostly every cap does ..that we do things not with the reward in mind but with delivering our best. I think there are two reasons for this:
1. We are scared of not delivering our best...scared of how we will fall in our own eyes ...scared to think of the impression people will have of our capabilities (and if they are going to judge us anyways...then as well be the best we can be!)
2. We like to get things done. It gives a lot of satisfaction to be responsible and to get the job done! 🙂
So this indirectly means that we strive to be accepted in society and by our peers - and this might interpert as being "ambitious" for some people.
Also, i must say we are the most self-critical people on the face of this earth!
I hope atleast most of you people agree with what i said above (and if not then i think i better stop using "we" in my posts henceforth!🙂)

Self-critical? A-men to that. I couldn't count the number of times I've been yelled at, scolded, scoffed, lectured, or otherwise discouraged with that eternal phrase: "Stop being so hard on yourself!" or the close relative: "Be nice to yourself!!!"

Well guys what can I say but gee I dont feel so bad now - I must be a good ole goat after all! Ta for all the replies.

I can relate to that, as a Cap Rising...

I had a boss tell me once that there was nothing he could say to me that was worse than the stuff I said to myself! He then said, "I am happy with the job you are doing! Quit beating yourself up over the little things!"

Did I listen? Yes. Did I quit worrying about the little things? NO.

It is my nature...I try to be concerned about excellence rather than perfection...but, where do you draw the line??

Wishing you all the best!

I think it's typical for any Cap to be insecure about himself, hence the self-criticism, resulting in fear of failure, perfectionism, working hard. And on social level they try to take care of their friends as best they can. That's what it's all about: learning to trust in yourself and therefore others in life. Once a Cap learns to love and trust himself he can start to trust other people and be empathic! I think that's the main goal in a Cap's life, learning to interact with other people in a trusting and loving manner. I'm 33 now and I'm finally starting to open up and love myself, and it has given me the best oppportunities to get close to other people! It gives me a great feeling of finally doing something right, of fulfillment. Of course I'm still insecure and that spoils it again but at least I know it's my life goal to learn to love....

Amen! 😉

To the origonal poster:

I too have encountered the descript cappie's you have mentioned. Money and social stature are thier daily zen. Nothing wrong with it I guess. just thought it was interesting that you noticed.
