im curious.

These are more of rhetorical questions, but...
Do we make your lives stressful? Easy?
Are you able to express yourselves?
Do you feel free?Smothered?Caged?
Are you bored?
Do we inspire?
Do we limit?
Do you feel its all about us? We make it all about you?
Do/did you feel loved?
etc etc.

Im just curious about what it feels like for you to be with us.

One of my biggest insecurities would be my partner being unhappy. Or not knowing he's unhappy because he's busy trying to make me happy.

I guess this post is inspired by the cappy on youtube. She shares a lot of her personal life with her husband in her videos. Of course, their life looks close to perfect but things are rarely ever what they appear to be, so I just thought this would be a good oppt. for us to hear others out, and for others to share.

"But.....you asked....lol"

And Im now about to delete this thread. You just made me regret that I did lol, jk.

Thats interesting you basically had four different experiences of the same. Im thinking you treated these ladies well, possibly better than theyve ever been treated. I think if some of us that are emotionally damaged/unevolved/immature or just spoiled think reciprocating will affect whats done for us. It can be learned, very early on for us, the less we give, the more we seem to get. The way to keep a good thing is to basically abuse it...not intentionally as in premeditated, but behavior that literally becomes 2nd nature.

Its really weird with Virgos too. Although Ive never dated one, my sister is a Virgo and I was definitely not the nicest big sis growing up, but even now, she responds best to me if Im at my worst with her and vice versa in a way. If a Cap isnt mature it can be very easy to try to control our good thing by keeping or putting them in invisible shackles. Again, 2nd nature behavior. I hope one day you meet a decent Cap lady. Id like to think there was "something" good or a little potential which makes it so frustrating and disappointing. I know how that goes.

My experience with a Cap woman: Extremely negative, said some very insensitive comments, although I am a sensitive soul, my shell is hard core enough to handle criticism, yet not when it comes left field and out of nowhere...very passive aggressive. I just basically got real cold on her real fast and immediately removed myself from her presence. I am trying to work things out with her right now, because it's easy to just cut people out of your life, and not understand them...so i prefer to understand...

Cap men: Pessimistic, negative, and boring (stuck in the mud types). Now on the positives, extremely intelligent, refined, hilarious (my brother is a cap one of the funniest people in the world).

I did date a cap for two years and he was awesome as a boyfriend, although quiet boring. I dumped him after meeting a more exciting and interesting LEO...that was when i was young..now I WANT BORING and dependable...



So you dated the Cap woman?

Thank you scorched. Cap+Taurus...aww *sniffs*



if he hadn't been a man i would have definitely married him. that whole being gay thing is the only thing that ultimately got in the way. i have nothing but nice things to say about him and all the other capricorns i've had in my life. compatible isn't a strong enough word to describe that connection.

i'd love to meet a female cap. they seem super rare to me though. i almost never meet them. 😢

Aww. Well Im glad that you've had good experiences so far. Hopefully you'll run into a nice cappy lady one day!

i studied joel peter witkin in art school. his photography is so unique. a strange blend of of the macabre and tranquility. i had to do a black and white series mimicking his work... whew. i used my little sister as one of my subjects. bad idea. my prof loved it but i couldnt even look at it.




Oh my god, what the hell did you? o.O

I remember you had an avi that I LOVED - it looked like a 13th or 14th century woodcut. I count those woodcuts as some of my favorite things on earth. My deep love of the macabre I inherited from my mother, a Virgo.

And thank you.

i staged it too... bound her up "gagged" her and put some costume pieces on her. we had a ball while doing it. it was hilarious, but the finished product was too much his dark style + my sweet lil sis. *shudders*

and yes! that was an illustration of Andras from a book on demonology. lol i think thats the one you're talking about, no?

what is going on in here? smh

Gum thanks for your post on your relationship with your Cap.

QS, Im not sure if youve heard about the 52 week saving challenge where you save $ 1(1st week)... $ 52(52nd week) and end up with $ 1300, but youvand your Cap can do it in reverse and use it for vacation money.



That's real nice until one day you're crossing the street and get hit by a car and have to use hat money you saved for medical bills or worse a funeral.

Either way, you'll have the money.

No inana, please tell me more! Lol

He has not one but TWO savings account already but he won't dip into them for travel :-/



There's 52 weeks in a yr right?

1st week save $ 1.
2nd week save $ 2
3rd week save $ 3........52nd week save $ 52

By the end of the yr you will have $ 1300.

You can do your own, he can do his. The both of you can do it in reverse starting at 52, and you'll each have $ 1000 by June/July.

My Cap friend is doing this for his vacation.

I feel like someone took a knife and stabbed me right in the back.



That's a pretty bold statement, why would it be so personal? Has he expressed opposite to what he has said here in private? (No need to answer, PMs are just that...private) I really doubt he has.

He has always been explicitly clear about how he feels, and will not hold back. That's what you should respect...his opinion, not the one you want to create for him.



Yup. It's really not a secret that 25thdecan hates Cappy ladies. Gotta love him for being honest. And I secretly hold out hope that some one will get him to change his mind someday.

My most significant and longest relationship ever has been with a Cap/Sag cuspy, even though there's quite a few of her personality traits I never could get used to, I will never close myself down to the possibility of dating another cap. It's kinda foolish and childish to write off an entire sun sign.



Thanks for sharing Shaka! What was some of those personality traits?

Do you really feel you were happy in that relationship? Honestly, I even wondered about this when yall were together.

🙂

I was happy for a big part of that relationship, however we both had massive individual changes that ultimately drove us apart. Probably the most encompassing trait of hers I could mention which I could never get used to, was her extremely serious approach towards life, which is great if you want to have a great career, but to me there is much more in life than building an incredible career, in fact what gives me most satisfaction in life is being able to have new experiences, regardless of whether they are good or bad, they always end up teaching me something new about myself or life, that to me is priceless. In the end I was basically repressing my fun/social/party beast/adventourous side in order to be in her good graces. Its probably a bit sad to say this, but Im a much happier person without her, although the irony is that the level of happiness I have achieved these days wouldnt have been possible without the lessons I learned from that relationship with her 🙂 So most of all Im thankful of what we had, rather than bitter about it. I have told her this several times and she seems a bit confused haha.

She basically doesn't know if she should take those words as a compliment or as a rebuke haha, her mind is too logical and black/white to accept such gray area 😛 I dont blame her. I admire her qualities this type of mind gives her too.

@Shaka, I guess it is a bit different to hear that someone learned a lot from you but they are happier without you lol.



Haha well the opposite is true too, Im pretty sure she's happier without me too, Im just happy to know it was such a natural transition for both of us. Ultimately in every relationship you end up learning much more about yourself than you do about the other person, and thats why I always recommend people not to fear entering relationships, as it is probably the only way you can truly learn about the most fundamental parts of yourself.

I feel like I wasted a lot of my time reading (no scanning) all the bullshit in this thread. Sorry, Inana. It was a very interesting idea and I appreciate the ones who responded seriously to your question. Kudo's to 25th Deacon for his honesty.

This is about the second thread I've read today that was horribly de-railed. Either stick to the topic, or create your own thread. IF you're going to talk art, create a thread. If you're going to argue over avatars, create a thread. If you're going to mouth off and argue, create a thread. Get my drift. I guaran-damn-tee I'm not the only one who gets irritated by it all.

A little smart assness and humor yes, if you're going to de-rail it, please think how fustrating and inconsiderate it is to the one who originally created the thread.

Geesh!!!!

I am commenting on my current CAP relationship.
Do we make your lives stressful? Easy? easy, my cap mos def trys to make things easier.
Are you able to express yourselves? of course. I feel like she understands me pretty damn well. We are a damn good team.
Do you feel free?Smothered?Caged? light weight smothered, but I like it and need that every once & a while.
Are you bored? nope
Do we inspire? yea, she keeps me positive and motivated everyday
Do we limit? naw
Do you feel its all about us? We make it all about you? she put me on a pedestal pretty early in the relationship, because we knew each other prior and had a huge crush on each other.
Do/did you feel loved? loved and respected. Yes!

Thank you all for participating.

I find it extremely interesting that nearly all of you Scorps said we inspire, and you all were basically the only ones to say it.

For the paat two weeks or so Ive been frustrated trying to figure out whose voice is at the beginning of "F-in problem" with Asap and Drake(Scorpio). Two people have said Aaliyah(Capricorn). Drake produced the song, and not long ago was able to get hold of Aaliyahs unreleased material. He said a while ago she's the one that either inspired him to sing or come up with his melodies. Im guessing she'll still be able to inspire him with the unreleased material. He's mentioned Sade and Denzel too.

Im guessing you Scorps are one of the ones that either get or appreciate us.

I have a TON of Capricorn's in my life so I'm a bit biased.
I dated a goat-girl so based off that...

Do we make your lives stressful? Easy?
She didn't

Are you able to express yourselves?
Ummm I think so but I was 19 and dumb as hell

Do you feel free?Smothered?Caged?
Mmm none of the above in a strong manner. She was pretty chill

Are you bored?
She was alright!

Do we inspire?
In hindsight, no. She did not.

Do we limit?
She didn't

Do you feel its all about us? We make it all about you?
Actually yes. She was sweet but had a selfish streak

Do/did you feel loved?
Nah but it wasn't really that deep of a relationship


Keep in mind, I was 19 at the time. What the HELL did I know? lol
