"Lo
ve is not just a feeling, it's a choice" - A Piece on Emotional Intimacy for Cancerians As a Cancerian, emotional intimacy is a big deal. I take great pride in my ability to love and care deeply for the people in my life. But sometimes, emotions can get the best of me. As a highly-sensitive person, it can be difficult to navigate relationships without feeling overwhelmed. That's when I remember that love is not just a feeling, it's a choice. Being in a relationship with a Cancerian can be a rollercoaster ride, but if you can handle the intense emotions, you'll find that we are some of the most loving and loyal partners out there. We put our hearts on the line, and if you're lucky enough to win it, we'll devote ourselves to you completely. But, with this level of passion comes a strong need for emotional intimacy. We need to feel seen and heard in our relationships. Sometimes this means opening up and being vulnerable, even when it's scary. It also means being present for our partner when they need us most. When we feel as though our partner is there for us, we feel safe and secure in the relationship. We Cancerians thrive on emotional connection. We want to feel as though we're in a deep and meaningful relationship with someone who understands us on a deep level. We need to know that our partner is willing to put in the work to create intimacy, even when it's hard. For Cancerians, love is not just a feeling. It's a choice we make every day to show up for ourselves and our partner. It's choosing to communicate openly and honestly, even when it's uncomfortable. It's choosing to be vulnerable and share our emotions, even when we're scared. It's choosing to put in effort to build and maintain a deep connection with the ones we love. So, if you're in a relationship with a Cancerian, remember that emotional intimacy is key. Be willing to have those tough conversations. Listen with an open heart. Show up for them, and they will show up for you in return. Love isn't always easy, but if you're with a Cancerian, it's sure to be an adventure.
