How to the rest of you Caps feel about letting to of something? Whether it be an ex, friend, dilemmas, etc.

I feel like if somebody hurts me deep enough (or I get mad enough about something), I can let go and stop talking to the person from one day to the next.
Other times, when the situation is left open ended... it's hard to let go.
Not sure if it's a Cap thing or a me thing.

How do you guys deal with letting go or what are some techniques you use to help ease the thoughts running wild and eating at you inside?

It's always hard to "let go" when you don't have much closure on a situation, but eventually you have to accept the closure you have. So it's not about "letting go", it's about accepting what is.

I feel once someone truly accepts that they may never get closure, and accepts the situation and that the last interaction, the last words, etc IS the closure, then the letting go process will come naturally.

Accepting... I think that's the hard part. After.you've mastered that, then letting go is easy.

Yeah once you accept, it's easy to let go.

But I know people, like my boy that's a Scorpio, he won't care whether he accepted or not, he can cut someone off and not look back ever. Lol.

Its hard without knowing the situation, my experience (being libra, moon in cap) is with my ex cappy...I hurt him badly (not intentionally we were younger then and he was 4 yrs younger than me id never been with a younger guy, i took my career serious and it wasn't a relationship for me) he was perfect in alot of ways but I just couldnt take it seriously. Fast forward 3 years he's done a bit of growing up, he' s with someone, im with someone but we are back in each other lives. Well its kind of come and go constantly trying to break it off.

If its an ex situation he eventually let go when he met someone else back then, she is a Taurus, perfect for him apparently. Although despite that he came back 1.5yrs later.
Sometimes I tell him he should never have made contact with me again because of the situation that now exists.

Its all very confusing, I dont know why he's back around. Most likely the sex, although if I voice that opinion he gets mad.

So maybe i'm not the best person to be asking how to let go after all since it seems impossible here.

Why did you end it? You guys are friends now? Or he's just hitting you up cheat on his girl?

Crazy part of this story is I dated a libra once and she didn't want to be committed and I moved on and she came back when I was dating a Taurus lol. Unfortunately I stayed true to my Taurus when the Libra finally realised I was good for her. Sad story. I really liked her.

It's funny and admirable at the same time how people can do that. I think it all boils down to accepting first, and being in the present, and realizing/accepting "what is now", hence the not looking back.

I was 25 had my job my own apartment freedom etc, he came along and displayed alot of possessive qualities, besides the bringing his friends over playin ps4 etc it just wasnt the kind of relationship that I wanted or needed. My problem was just that he needed to grow up, and I didnt want to ask him not to do or act how he wanted to be-he deserved to be the 21 yr old that he was. Now I have no idea whats going on, I feel the Taurus maybe a little boring but she's very stable, chases him and always forgives him. With me its more excitement, fun, we really enjoy each others company alot. When im with him I cant imagine life without him but something inside tells me we could ever be together. I dont think we can offer each other what we need from a serious relationship.
His moodiness is difficult for me to be around and Im also too strong willed and dont accept bs. He needs an extremely submissive and accepting f

My dad never can let go.

He'll move on by becoming busy and just not be bothered by it.. It will be in his heart or mind but ...he just will not be bothered.. "what's the point" he says..
"What's the point" .. I've said that many times, that can be acceptance, if you can accept what is, why put forth anyore effort into it. He can keep it in his mind /heart, it's a part of him now but he may not dwell bcuz he's accepted and let go/moved on. ๐Ÿ™‚

I dont understand whats happening with my posts , theyre only posting half of what I write grrrrrr.
So yeah with the Taurus, before he met me he's cheated with many girls, broke up with her, got back with her because she "loves him so much" eg lets him F up on multiple occasions and she sticks around?
You're right about the Taurus. More boring, but stable and submissive. More forgiving. With Libra, everything was fun. We would get drunk all the time and have the best time.

But yeah, I see what you're saying about him growing up, etc. You guys were in different stages in life. At that young age, everything is fun and games. There comes a point where you need to realise responsibility and bills take priority lol

Me and the Taurus aren't together anymore. We broke up after 5 years.
