Shoutout to Cancers: How was your childhood?
This topic was created in the Cancer forum by Karka on Thursday, June 13, 2013 and has 2 replies.
I only want answers from cancers, because I want to know if i just was an unlucky crab or not, please respect that.
Did you have a happy childhood? I??m not talking about those "Ohh i had a crappy childhood but I did turn out fine and in retrospective i had a good childhood"-shit. I??m talking about a nice family, friends that treated you for who you were - their friend, relationships and such. Did you enjoy that? Did you have an trusted friend or many friends? Many astrologers says we should have been loved..
I myself had a crappy childhood, from ages 8-15 i just wanted to die nearly every single day, just feeling worthless. The reason behind this is because i moved to the countryside and from that point on i got bullied nearly every day in school. To be shy and introverted did not help at all. A couple of suicide attempts between the ages of 13-15 when i really didn??t want to live on anymore. But here i am to today, feeling fucked up and confused. I believe my childhood has fucked me up forever, my trust to other people is at bare minimum, i barely had any friends back then and that is still the case today.
I have come to realize that am always expecting other people to make fun of me and when someone is either trying to give me a compliment or trying to make a joke that is not meant to hurt my feelings, I get furious and mad as hell or just retreating in to my shell, always on the guard for people trying to hurt me. I never talk about my childhood with anyone and I have buried that subject deep inside me nearly impossible for anyone to reach.
And as a fun fact my mom who is an Aquarius still sadly believes that i had a great childhood.
So.. How was your childhood?

I am a cancer/leo cusp. And I believe my personality reflects cancer much more than Leo.
I can say that my childhood was not a happy one. My parents expected ALOT out of me. I was smart, very smart. but because i felt like I never lived up to their standards, it was hard for me to be passionate about school and learning. (I was punished for getting B's and never rewarded for good behavior) I was extremely shy and kept to myself because it was hard for me to open up to kids at school. I kind of stuck by my close friends.(But i feel that the reason for this were self esteem problems)
I was a happy child when I was left free to explore and experience things as I have an extremely GREAT memory and the good experiences really stuck with me.
In middle school/high school, I dreaded life and school. I was deeply...deeply depressed from 5th grade until age 21. My family life probably attributed greatly to this but even at school I was miserable because it was routine and I hated feeling so restricted, also I was shy and never talked to people unless I was spoken to.
I got over depression by having a stable group of friends, I think stimulation really helped. being around new things, and people. I had a tendency to think absurd and depressive thoughts when i was by myself. So by being around positive people really helped. I started to find that I love being spontaneous and exploring so I became this outgoing and inspired person(I was NEVER that way before) it took ALOT of inner soul searching to find out what really made me happy. I thought about my childhood a lot and what it was that made me who I am. Instead of dwelling on it like I did, I used it to find myself and grow from my experiences.
My advice to you is: Dont dwell on the past and don't focus on the future too much either. Think about the moment and how you feel and what makes you happy. I am happiest when my life is stable (and progressing toward a goal) and still allowed to be spontaneous. I had to find a balance with life and work/school.
