That's what the book says but after observing myself for a good but tough two years, I've developed my own view on what cancers are like.
June 22 - July 23
To my beloved readers.. If I were to summarise the type of person I am or what I think most cancers would be;
Emotional
Empathetic
Intuitive
Cautious but caring
Moody
Clingy
Over emotional
Over protective
That's if I were to summarise it in a few words. According to the info I gathered from the Internet, we love our homes, we love home-cooked meals, and etc etc.
However for me, I don't seem to like my home as much as I should have (based on what I read). I know that I've definitely changed a lot over the two years, and just to make it clear, I think I used to be more closer to what other websites describe as a cancer. I still have similar traits but now that I'm more social, my shyness doesn't really show anymore. Maybe it's because I'm comfortable with the people I know however, if it were another person, a stranger whom I had to talk to, I'd be back to my old sweaty shaky self.
What I love about being a cancer:
Empathy- I've alway thought it was a good trait, something that society needs, everyone should have the ability to empathise naturally. Obviously not because if we all did, there would be no murderers or criminals am I right? Everyone would be considerate of each individual and their families' feelings to commit any wrong right? Unfortunately not everybody empathises. It's allowed me to connect with people, place myself in their shoes if you will. Be able to imagine, understand how a person feels during certain times, when things happen. That's what made me want to seek people, made me want to talk to them about problems, because I think that if I am able to understand how somebody feels, I should feel obliged to at least let them know that they aren't alone, that I too can feel how they do.
Caring- My previous post was about caring so not much will be said. Empathy leads to caring, being able to understand then having the desire to help. I never found harm in lending a hand to people who required it- or even if they didn't need it, I'd still be happy to.
Protective- Yeah not many people seem to like overprotective guys/ people right? Despite how it can push people away, I like how protective we are, and usually being protective shows that you don't want someone to get hurt, you don't want them to go through things they will regret. On the contrary (sounds incorrect after reading the definition of this word on Lucy's post), the only time I dislike being protective is when jealousy occurs or when the person you're protective over doesn't listen to you. I might not have the power to command you but yeah being protective isn't always good for us because it leads to a higher chance of being disappointed if our expectations are not met.
Intuition- Till this day I still don't know exactly where this word derived from or what it exactly means. Still this is my own extended explanation of it. An ability or a passive trait that isn't that noticeable until it is pointed out or put to the test? Having a feeling, like an instinct that allows you to make decisions, usually the correct ones. Intuition is just something close to a sense, not the 6th necessarily but nevertheless something like that. AH INSTINCTIVE, another word that's similar.. I guess that works well. I've had so many dreams (like Bill mentioned some time ago), where I dreamt about something which happened to come true. Movies which I never saw on billboards, television ads but somehow predicted that it'd become big. Doesn't seem much right? There are other things which I can't remember but it's just satisfying even if it's false hope, to feel like you have the ability to predict things.
That's about it. I'm pretty sure I've bored most of you by now if I haven't already caused you to turn away cause of this long post.
Other than this, we're still shy and emotional and will most likely crawl back into our shells when things aren't going too well for us.
