When it comes to Capricorn’s performance in relationships, “reality” is an unavoidable topic, but if you look deeper, you will find that this “reality” sometimes goes to extremes, and even makes people feel a little “abnormal”. Capricorn’s reality comes from their high rationality and planning in relationships. They will not easily fall in love, but will examine a relationship with an evaluative eye from the beginning, thinking about whether the other party meets their standards and whether they can move forward together in the future. Although this calmness and rationality make them appear mature and stable, it is also easy for people to think that they are too utilitarian in relationships and lack romance and tenderness.
When this reality is pushed to the extreme, Capricorns may show a desire for control. They are eager to control the rhythm and direction of the relationship, and even use their own logic to forcibly define the rules of the relationship. If the other party does not meet their inner expectations, Capricorns may become indifferent or even cut off contact. Their “high standards” for relationships sometimes seem almost harsh and even “abnormal” because they cannot tolerate uncertainty in relationships or being out of control.
What makes it even more complicated is that Capricorns are extremely realistic in their demands on themselves. They are not only demanding of the other person, but also of themselves. They will pay a lot for the relationship, but this kind of payment is not blind, but in the form of “exchange” – they expect their efforts to be exchanged for the other person’s loyalty, stability and return. But once these expectations are not met, they may quickly change from enthusiasm to indifference, or even completely close their hearts.
In the final analysis, Capricorn’s “realism”, “extreme” and even “abnormality” is actually a kind of self-protection for their feelings. They are afraid of being let down and wasting time and emotions, so they use an almost cold way to screen and control.
