Those born under Cancer can suffer from crabbiness and pessimism. This is their dark side. Recognizing and confronting this part of the Cancer personality is essential.

Crabbiness, worry, and pessimism can be difficult to manage Cancer personality characteristics. This can be the dark side of a Cancer's personality, but it is are not limited to just Cancer. People born under signs other than Cancer who have these types of personality characteristics could make use of this advice.

Cancer Personality

The Cancer personality can be cynical, pessimistic, worrying, crabby, grumpy, and ill at ease. Like the Taurus, many born under Cancer will find themselves in positions where their "negative" personality traits will be rewarded. They can be accountants, lawyers, investigators, soldiers, prison wardens, or other professions that involve a certain degree of negative thinking.

The Cancer Man

The Cancer man may enjoy competition, but he is not necessarily as determined to win as the Leo. For the Caner man, the fun is not in winning, but in humiliating the opponent. The Cancer man can be a bully, a practical joker, or a fierce protector. His reliance on negative thinking may lead him to believe that approaching women will be futile, so the Cancer man is sometimes prone to shyness around the opposite sex.

The Cancer Woman

Many Cancer females fight like Cancer males, but others fight using the weapons of words. Some Cancer females are catty, enjoying gossip and rumors. They have long memories and do not forgive and forget easily. They enjoy getting respect, but will only give it to others if they deem them worthy of it.

Cancer Love

Cancer's traditional crabbiness can complicate romance. Someone with a fiery temper, like an Aries, or easily hurt feelings, like a Pisces, may initially clash with a Cancer, though once they understand that they should not take things too personally, the relationship can begin to work. The consideration of others and using kind language can be an effort for a Cancer, but it is an effort that they are willing to make if they know it means a lot to someone that they love.

The Cancer traits of pessimism can lead them in certain directions in which negative thinking is helpful, but it should not control the Cancer's entire worldview and lead to a dreary outlook on life. The Cancer's penchant for crabby behavior can complicate a romance, but if they are determined to make it work, they can learn to be kinder and more loving.

A cancer man is always a gentleman, until the woman he is with stops being a lady.

I agree, in my experience with Cancer men, they just tell you want you want to hear to get what they want out of you. Is there an honest Cancer out there?

honestly it's not that they are liars they're just manipulative they do things secretly sometimes... for example when it comes to love if you'll hurt them they'll try to fine someone special to save them from tears but they still love you and cared for you...that's their personality so better never hurt them...
