Why are (some) Capricorn so..

Why Are Some Capricorns Selfish and Cold

Some Capricorns may display selfish or cold behavior due to their focus on goals and practical concerns. Their seemingly inconsiderate actions often stem from a desire for control or emotional reserve, not a lack of care. Understanding their personality traits can help interpret their behavior better and foster better relationships.

selfish and inconsiderate of other people's feelings? I just don't understand why they stare into your eyes with softness and then all of a sudden become so selfish and cold!

I work with a Cappy, and we usually don't communicate with one another very so often, but we did yesterday during the entire shift. He asked me if I wanted to stay until the end of the shift with him, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to at first, but I chilled for a bit, hoping he would drive me home as well. During that time, he was asking me if I had a new man in my life, and if I missed him and thought about him. I said not really, in a sarcastic way. The conversation continued on, talking about his family and my family, until he said "Oh, I remember I have to go meet up with some friends at a club." The way he said it sounded like a straight lie, but all I said back to him was "Don't ask me to stay and chill with you if you have something planned already", but in a calm way. He was like "I just remembered now" and I responded by saying "Okay, I believe you." As, I was getting ready to leave, Cappy said that he would ask if he could go have an extra break (as he already finished using all his breaks) to drive me to the bus stop, but he was interrupted with a call. So as I got up, he was holding my jacket wanting me to wait until he was done, but I said "See ya later." And that was that.

Today, I went to work, I said hi to him, but didn't really get to communicate with him because I was doing work with other people and so was he. I went to the washroom, I saw him going as well, and he was asking me what time I was there 'til and asked what I was doing after work. He told me to tell him when I was going on break. Then we parted ways into the washroom for a wee wee. My break came I went outside, and I'm sure he saw me. If he wanted to go on break with me, he'd come out with me right? However, my day was full of laughter, he saw me laughing and communicating with other people, and he didn't really affect me at all due to what happened yesterday. As work was approaching to an end, this Cappy was asking a guy if he had a spare $ 20 to give to someone for change because he deals with stuff, and that guy said no. However, he had the nerve to come to me to ask if I had $ 20, when he couldn't even give me a single ride home. I decided to be a friend and I gave it to him and then I left.

I had to walk in the freezing cold with heavy snow on the ground, whereas I also saw him driving past me with a guy in the passenger seat. They also slowed down to open the passenger seat to re-close it. I didn't really give two cents as he showed me his true colors. I'm also not even going to bother asking for the $ 20 back, I'm going to test and see if he's going to do it on his own. I'm just upset and need to vent because I can''t believe that this guy could be so inconsiderate to my feelings and just think about himself and his needs! I feel sorry for him for some reason.. But what to do? Is there an explanation as to why Capricorn men are like this and are they generally tended to this sort of behaviour?

Because he is a CONTROL freak and he wants some type of reaction out of you for his stupid behavior. The only way to really get Cap men to "act" right is to IGNORE him and back off until he "gets" that you are not going to kiss his arse.

His coldness is just his nature, Cap men are not the most affectionate of men until they "really" know that you are in it for the long run. They don't give their affections away freely. If he is asking you to stay after work and leaving you stranded just start ignoring him until he can show you with consistency that he really, really wants you in his life.

You don't have to act really cold towards him but you cannot be a "WEAKLY" dealing with this man, you have to have tough skin and put him in his place when his behavior is unacceptable OR just don't feed into him(IGNORE).

Hi everyone, sorry for the late response and thank you for everyone's input.

I don't think a person would like me if they were acting this sort of way. He's very nice to me, then when I talk to other co-workers in front of him, he'll turn cold. He'll offer me his food and drink, and then all of a sudden, the silent treatment kicks in.

I take things to heart and read a person's behavior a lot, I don't know why, but that's how I am. You are so right.. I should ignore him.. I hate it when people think I'm weak, I'm not weak, I just care for people. It's hard to ignore someone, but I'll try my best.

Maybe this is also not a capricorn thing, maybe it's a guy thing. I just don't understand.. why I'm put in a position where he has to confuse me a lot. I just want to go up to him and say "I don't like your attitude towards me. You're nice to me, and then all of a sudden cold. If that's the case, you're not really treating me like a friend which means I shouldn't treat you as one too."

UGH!!!
