Is this a typical Capricorn personality/behavior ?

Question

Finally decided to ask this after many years of wondering and speculating. I work with a Capricorns and been working with him for past 3 years. 

Over the years I realized more and more that this person is relatively dark humored usually making jokes about death or suicide, or about some totally crazy stuff that normal person would not even think about. But reading about Caps this seems to be there sense of humor, twisted but funny to them?

Few other things I noticed is complete lack of relationship (no girlfriend), this guy did say he tried multiple times on online dating sites but usually gives up quite fast as he has defeatist trades. And then simply states there is no chance in hell any woman would want to be with an average looking guy who's pessimistic 70% of the time, pretty dull, self loathing and self destructive, and is an introverted loner.

I asked him many times why he thinks this way to usually get a reply "I remember myself depressed and lone since childhood, I never had friends and grown up by myself and this is what I learned to love and treat as normal. And I fear no woman would want to live with such person, so I gave up. I rather die alone then make someones life miserable."

I tried to cheer him up on regular basis but one moment he is happy and few hours later gloomy as hell. Is there anything that can be done? Because its kind of sad to see this poor soul. Or is this a destiny of Capricorns? To live miserable life to maybe have it better in afterlife?

Answer

Hi, firstly,what an interesting question.

My partner is a capricorn. He truly is a jolly, upbeat and witty soul. He really is the happiest person i have ever met. Even when he is angry he is able to keep himself composed. Although i like to read up on starsigns and often there are traits which are similar within a particular sign i am not sure we can totally generalise.

Do you think the person you know might be a little depressed or lacking in confidence... or perhaps a combination of the two?

I think being a friend would mean a great deal to this person.

Answer

Capricorns can be really hard on themselves and build a wall up around themselves in fear of people getting too close. Sounds like your co-worker trusts you, but maybe not many others. He may not feel comfortable having to change his ways if he meets a new person so he sabotages himself. I would let him know that he deserves to have fun in his love life and that it is very possible for him to find someone who understands him.
