I am a triple Cancer (Sun/Asc/Mars) all conjunct, and they are all inconjunct Uranus, and forming a yod with Jupiter, and my Venus is in the 11th house (but its in Taurus). However I never thought this was a big aspect in my chart, I just assumed I was a different kind of Cancer. But I recently went to an astrologer and she said that because I have my planets all conjunct each other the yod is a big deal, and that my Venus in its natural sign acts like a Venus aquare Uranus because its in the 11th, and that I should also consider that to be very strong in me. She further explained that's part of the reason why I am the way I am.
I'm a very friendly person...and I excel in groups, but I'll admit that I'm not so good at the one on one stuff. In fact I'm VERY uncomfortable in romantic relationships, I value commitment but if I'm not turned on by a guys mind I can't get attached. I also tend to feel misunderstood. My friends just kinda think of me as being the strange/quirky, and outspoken one. I'll befriend most anyone, and I'll date most anyone who is interesting. However because it's so hard for me to talk one on one I end up being more distant to ppl than I intend to. Have any of you experienced this? What have you done to improve this?

As an Aqua, I'm quite guarded with what I tell people when it comes to relationships. there is a lot I want to say but don't end up saying, for various reasons.
what i have done in the past (with a cancer ex) is asked if emailing him was okay. i explained that i get tongue-tied in person, and he was the same, so we came to an agreement that we would email each other so we could be precise. It was a little impersonal so we agreed later to read out our emails in front of each other to get the tone of voice behind the words. it worked a treat and it was a great way for us to communicate until we were more comfortable just speaking out.
It may not be ideal for some but it was a start and it worked.
Perhaps you could try this?
I was also honest when I would say "i know what I want to say and I'm a little lost for how to express it. Can you allow me some patience to get my words out because there are words I;d really love to share with you?". It worked quite well.
