Relationships are often made or broken by one’s conversational style. It’s not just what you say but how you say it. Your Capricorn speech is usually sincere and to the point but may seem cool or impersonal. Here are some tips from communication experts that are especially attuned to your Sign:
Your conversational style is emotional. Economical with words, you rarely waste time on small-talk. But good conversation is a balance between involvement and independence. To convey more emotional involvement when you talk, learn to emphasize. Put yourself in another’s shoes by recalling similar incidents or feelings you’ve experienced. Learn also to make wise use of disclosures. Low-risk disclosures, good for initiating a friendship, consist of sharing your personal history. Achieving closer relationships requires making risky disclosures becoming vulnerable through revealing more private thoughts. Conversely, when you wish to retain authority and be less personal, all you, Seagoats, need to do is withhold personal disclosures.
