Cancer Personality
You have probably heard that Cancer people are loving, sensitive and show affection. Cancerians are not afraid to show affection and reaffirm their feelings towards their partner.
However, nobody is perfect. They can also show possessive tendencies and often jealousy, after all, their feelings are very intense and not always the person will know how to show it.
It is important to know how to prioritize and, if jealousy and possessiveness hurt you, do not continue in the relationship, after all, mental health matters and should be a priority.
Feelings
As a typical water sign, Cancer people feel all their emotions intensely, whether they are love or hate. They are people with a strong temperament, but when they get to know you better they end up opening up and showing you their true side.
Cancerians are not so intense for no reason. The sign of Cancer is a cardinal sign, meaning that it is one of the signs that accompanies the beginning of a new season.
The sign ushers in winter in the southern hemisphere and summer in the northern hemisphere. Just like the varied temperature scale, Cancerians' emotions are very varied and can be both mild and intense. This intensity can positively or negatively affect Cancerian's love life.
Shyness
Just like the animal that represents the sign, the crab, Cancerians are discreet, making shyness one of their characteristics. Although they are shy, Cancerians are also persistent: just like crabs, they go silently around corners after their goal, but when they grab it, there is no one to stop them.
Just as the crab has strength in the grip, Cancer natives hardly let go of the bait. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that shyness does not prevent Cancerian from achieving their goals due to their persistence and willpower.
Conservatism
Just like the crab needs a den, Cancer people need a safe haven and avoid exposing themselves, trying not to leave their comfort zone. Cancer is a family sign, making it conservative.
Avoid taking the Cancer person to events that are too radical and uncomfortable for the Cancerian, as they may end up being afraid to go out with you again.
Insecurity
One of the characteristics that most stands out in the sign of Cancer is insecurity and the search for stability, which can be a great advantage when it comes to dealing with money and administration.
However, when it comes to emotional issues, if this insecurity proves negative, the Cancerian will hide by acting cold, ignoring others while dealing with the resentment he feels, just like the crab that when not feeling secure returns running to his burrow and hides in his shell.
What to do to conquer a Cancerian?
If you want to know what attitudes should be taken to win the heart of a Cancer sign person, see the following topics for a detailed explanation of this delicate process to act in the right way and avoid hurting the person or that they create a grudge against you.
Be sensitive
Just as Cancerians like to give affection, they also like to receive it. Show your interest with little things in everyday life to gain their trust, but don't do anything over the top or that puts the Cancerian in an uncomfortable position.
Conservatism and shyness are both strong characteristics of the sign of Cancer, so avoid more daring or public compliments right away, as this will most likely embarrass her.
Understand Cancerian's feelings when trying to win her over and show that you care about her family and self-knowledge, that is, understanding your own feelings. Act in a delicate way, because insecurity can lead Cancerian to interpret a simple joke as an indirect.
Be romantic
Cancerians have a romantic nature, so when trying to win someone of this sign, get away from the basics. Plan interesting and different dates. Create something memorable and creative.
Try to get more involved in home and family programs, this will bring a sense of security, comfort and familiarity to Cancerians. Look for inspiration on the internet and set up a special day with activities already planned.
Be careful
You have to be very careful not to hurt her feelings. Try to understand her complex feelings and act in a way that doesn't upset her. As Cancer people take things very seriously in the literal sense, pay attention to the small details.
By the way, speaking of details, never forget important dates, scheduled times or meetings. This can lead to trust issues and consequently a colder and more distant attitude coming from the Cancerian.
Be affectionate
Cancerian love should be safe and reciprocal, so the partner should make an effort to show his feelings and dedicate himself to the relationship, after all she will do the same and sees the relationship as a responsibility and an important part of her life.
Discover your love language and use it to your advantage, for example: if you like to express your affection with gifts or small acts, give your partner small things which remind her of her essence. As Cancerians are very attached, she will keep this gift and will always remember its meaning.
Cancerians look for partners with the same ideals as her when it comes to relationships, so show that you share the same interests and idealism.
Be smart
You'll need to be smart to avoid clichés: a Cancerian is hardly won over with basic programmes such as going to the cinema, bars, parties etc. Make an extra effort, do some research and avoid the conventional to make a good impression.
It's important to be smart so that you don't do something wrong or hurt her feelings, as this will create resentment towards you.
Be creative
It is important to be creative and outgoing to break the emotional barrier of Cancerians. This is a fundamental step when it comes to winning someone of this sign, because just like the crab hides in a shell when it feels threatened or uncomfortable, the Cancerian keeps her barrier to protect herself.
Avoid repetitive songs or that everyone uses, seek originality, because the Cancerian likes original things and that come from the heart, besides there is a good chance that she already knows the song and that would completely change your image to her.
Be committed
Constancy is fundamental when relating to a Cancerian, after all, she will be dedicated to the relationship and expects you to do the same. So, it's no use just trying to win her over, the effort must be continuous and the commitment true.
In case you stop being romantic after a few days as if you have already done what needs to be done, she will pull away from you and start acting cold. She takes stability as a requirement in a relationship, so the change in behavior will be taken as a red flag to her.
"Playing hard to get" will only cause the Cancerian to lose interest. In the case of people of this sign, the famous "get lost and he'll come back" does not apply. If the effort and interest are not demonstrated frequently, the Cancerian will simply raise her barrier and ignore you.
Patience will be needed, as Cancer people tend to be possessive and have bouts of jealousy or insecurity. If this makes you uncomfortable, the ideal is always to distance yourself.
Offer protection
Cancerians like people with high self-esteem and vain, as this transmits a comforting and security energy. However, always remember to respect her limits and not make the situation uncomfortable.
Never make unnecessary jealousy games because, apart from shaking the Cancerian's confidence, this will decrease your chances of winning someone of this sign drastically. She will generalize your behavior and will no longer feel safe with you.
Cancerians care a lot about other people's opinions, and even if they try to hide it behind a cold face, other people's comments and actions deeply affect Cancer people. So, if someone makes a mean comment, even if in jest, refute the person, because the Cancer person will take the insult seriously and will be grateful for your action.
Talk about your family
Cancerians are good listeners and will gradually feel comfortable enough to start talking too. As time goes by she will lose her shyness and will start talking more and more, even talking more than you.
Cancer is a traditionally familiar sign, so bringing up this subject will help create a connection between you and consequently strengthen bonds. Show that you are very attached to sentimentality and are responsible about your own feelings.
Explore simplicity
You don't need to create miraculous plans to win over a Cancer girl, just an act that is genuine and expresses sentimentality. Simple gifts like a homemade recipe or something small that you bought will be appreciated and will remain in the Cancerian's memory.
For example: you don't need to elaborate a romantic candlelit dinner every time, people of this sign appreciate the little things and value genuine gestures. Besides, your way of behaving doesn't need to be full of pomp, but authentic and simple, showing your essence and intention.
What not to do to conquer a Cancerian?
There are several attitudes that can dirty your image and zero your chances of winning a Cancerian, read the following topics to find out which acts to avoid to increase your chances.
Avoid bouts of jealousy
Jealousy is natural and exists in every relationship. However, when it becomes excessive it can be harmful and even end the relationship. It is even worse when both are not committed and one shows jealousy.
By having a jealousy crisis not being in a relationship with the Cancerian, she will lose the sense of security she had with you and even replace that feeling with fear, drastically decreasing your chances of winning over the Cancerian.
Avoid family crises
Family crises are two words that don't go well with Cancerians, so try to get along with their family. This is very important for them because Cancerians are a traditionally familiar and conservative sign. Therefore, the type of relationship you establish with your family is a very important point in the relationship.
If the crisis is with your family and you are close enough to each other, try to ask them for advice. This will show the Cancerian that you have a sensitive side, and also that people of this sign are great listeners and love to advise others.
Avoid shouting
Never in a relationship should there be shouting, as this is considered a form of abuse, as well as leading people with trauma to have emotional triggers. By performing the act of raising your voice to a Cancerian you earn her total disgust for having made such an irresponsible, toxic and insensitive attitude.
Cancer people absorb energy very easily, and as this sign is very influenced by the moon, Cancerians tend to have two sides: one darker and one brighter.
This means that even though they are very emotionally connected and sensitive people, they can still be extremely sharp and toxic when they are hurt or when someone hurts their friends or family. So, don't act meanly towards someone with Cancer, because they will get revenge.
Avoid criticism
Cancer people are known for being insecure, so when trying to win a Cancer girl over, highlight her qualities and avoid criticizing her. After all, she's probably already aware of your flaws and this will leave her feeling less secure and comfortable talking to you.
This doesn't mean that you shouldn't speak up when something is bothering you, but avoid pointing out the Cancerian's faults at inopportune and unnecessary moments.
Use the five-second rule: if the defect can be eliminated in five seconds, such as a piece of food in the tooth, a loose button or an untied shoelace, you may comment. Physical characteristics, on the other hand, should not be criticized.
Is it possible to win over a Cancerian even if you're not romantic?
Cancer is a water sign, so it is difficult to win him/her over without being romantic. However, the influence of the rest of the person's birth chart can change the way each one is, so the personality can also vary with the ascendant, the moon and the other planets.
It's still good to try to be romantic when trying to win over a Cancerian, even if it's not impossible to win her without this characteristic. Look for inspiration and ideas for dates and unusual gifts on the internet and express your interest in a genuine way, and then everything will work out fine.
When entering into this relationship it's important to be careful not to hurt your Cancerian's feelings, but it's even more important to prioritize your mental health by getting out of the relationship if the situation is hurting you. That way, depending on the circumstances and what works best for both of you, the relationship can work out very well!
