When a Cancer doesn't get involved in relationships, they become very cautious.

When a Cancer doesn't get involved in relationships, they become very cautious because they are extremely afraid of getting hurt. They try to protect themselves from emotional trauma, so they are very careful when choosing a partner.

They need time to get to know someone and build a solid foundation to ensure they won't be hurt. Cancerians dislike being careless with their emotions because they know that once they truly commit, they give their all and invest all their energy. Therefore, if they're unsure whether someone is trustworthy, they'll choose to keep their distance until they're certain the other person is a reliable partner.

Most people have a good impression of Cancer, especially older individuals, who perceive them as warm and polite. Indeed, Cancer is a very gentle and kind zodiac sign. Since Cancer does not judge people as good or bad, they are more concerned about potential arguments or a breakup that could lead to a strained relationship. However, if you take the initiative to apologize to Cancer, they will definitely forgive you and move past any past issues.This prerequisite is that they must see your goodwill to dispel the clouds in their heart. On the other hand, even if you only had a minor argument, if you express malice and do not acknowledge them afterward, they will become increasingly angry and eventually give up on the relationship in their heart.Cancer's emotions are often influenced by their mood. When they're in a good mood, they'll find excuses for the other person, tell themselves that the other person didn't mean it, and convince themselves not to hold a grudge, ultimately forgiving the other person in their heart. However, when Cancer is in a bad mood, they'll constantly find excuses for themselves, believing that everything is the other person's fault, and continuously distort the other person's image to vent their pent-up resentment, thereby worsening the relationship.

The key point is that Cancer is a highly reflective individual who also values stability. In this state, Cancer instinctively believes that the other person's actions are directed at them. For example, if someone causes a conflict and posts on social media, “This idiot is so annoying,”“ The Cancerian's first reaction is that the ‘idiot’ is referring to themselves, and they brood in silence. However, they are too shy to speak up, so when they see the other person again and the other person doesn't greet them, the Cancerian becomes even more convinced that the ”idiot" must be referring to themselves...Therefore, while Cancer may seem emotionally volatile and prone to pessimism, this isn’t their true nature. It stems from their excessive concern about others’ opinions, tendency to overthink, and relentless pursuit of stability. They desperately want to communicate but don’t know how to start, leading them to shift from “caring about the other person’s thoughts” to “doubting their feelings,” and eventually to “feeling targeted by the other person,” which can cause them to lose control.Like many Cancer friends, I shouldn't always analyze this situation or say that Cancers can't control themselves.

because most of the time, they are rational and know what they are doing. When problems pile up to the point where they can no longer handle them, they can only blame themselves, magnify a single conflict into an incompatibility between two people, and then blame themselves for starting an unfair relationship in the first place, ultimately concluding that they don't deserve true love. The most critical issue is that most people can learn from the end of a relationship and apply those lessons to future relationships.But Cancer finds this extremely difficult. Cancer simply believes that he is too emotionally invested, which is why he suffers so much. No matter how much he analyzes or thinks, he can only learn to control his emotions and avoid getting distracted. However, after taking concrete action, Cancer often reverts to his old ways. While he understands these techniques, strategies, and methods, he is unable to apply them to his own emotions.
