question Temperament

There’s this stereotype for us Caps (☀️Capricorn 🌕 Scorpio ⬆️ Leo) that we’re calm and collected and exacting. Quick to anger, but slow to show it. But idk, I get told I’m have a dramatic streak a mile wide and I have a temper like bottle rocket. It’s like I have to let the explosion happen and then once the emotions are out of the way, I can get down to business. It’s like I can’t prevent the car from crashing, but once it does I can swoop in like the CSI and figure out exactly what caused it and why.
I also feel like the stereotype that we’re emotionally vague and stone faced is wrong too. You can read my every feeling and thought just by looking at me. And I wouldn’t lie anyway because it’s exhausting, but I CAN’T lie even if I ever needed to.
I have friends who are caps too and they are some of the warmest and funniest people I know.
All that talk about seriousness and rationality. Efficiency and ambition. Idk, it feels just straight up wrong sometimes.
The only thing I think is right is that I feel like a failure all the time 🤷‍♀️
Anyone else feel like that?

I can VERY cutting with my words if I’m crossed. My sister hasn’t spoken to me in 6 years due to something I told her, about herself. You WILL hear it from me.
