Capricorns are ruled by severe Saturn so it only makes sense that they work so hard to seem strong and mature, but this is typically a front.
On the inside they are often trapped children who often didn’t have a proper childhood - sometimes this is simply because they themselves expect too much. They always push themselves, often to their limits and past, putting themselves under extreme levels of stress even at a young age.
Many explain Capricornians by saying they mature backwards, born wise and serious beyond their years and slowly letting go as they grow older. This is true in that they feel they must cling to convention, tradition, and the like, particularly when they are young. They feel this provides them with the control that they need, but it’s truly restrictive after a point.
If you give them the chance, allowing them to feel completely comfortable, they’ll show you just how awkward, loud, and immature they really are.
