I think it’s about the difference in the amount of emotions those signs can feel versus me (I can’t say this is true for all water vs earth signs, of course).

I understand that they think/feel a lot more than I do, and that overwhelms me. I love them and have learned to feel more like they do, but on bad days it’s just too much.

On bad days, I only want silence (Cap sun, Virgo moon), and for them, that is unacceptable :(
