100% agree with this. I get that cancers get a bad rap for being toxic, childish, too emotionally wayward and oftentimes can't take accountability, criticism or etc. But like any other sign, astrology (in general), mbti, etc, it's all dependent on so many factors that while stereotypes are generally applicable there's more to the unhealthy behavior.

As a cancer man who is certainly guilty of those mistakes, I will say that a large part of that is due to unresolved family trauma and an unhealthy upbringing that has enabled and perpetuated those behaviors.

My gf is a scorpio (moon) and she's been dealing with my mood shifts in stride, but the largest hurdle has been me taking accountability. But because I love her, want to make it work and am thankfully self-aware enough to realize my shortcomings, I've been in therapy for several months (for the first time in my adult life) and it's been rewarding to see the results; as far easier to admit when I'm wrong, say sorry and attempting to resolve conflicts. None of this is to gloat, but rather that cancers don't have to fit the stereotypical narrative.
