Be careful not to ignore your Cancer man every time he displays emotion, though! If he genuinely seems upset, he might be. His actual sadness is usually quieter than his manipulative dramatics, and you should be able to tell the difference.

Don’t take his over-the-top hysterics seriously, but take his other emotions seriously. This will make it even more apparent that he can’t manipulate you because he’ll see that you know the difference!

The simple secrets you can use to seduce and keep your Cancer man (they work like magic)

Don’t React To His Outbursts

A Cancer man hiding his feelings isn’t as common as a Cancer man openly expressing them. Most of the time, though, a Cancer man tries to be respectful in how he shows his emotions.

If your Cancer man constantly has outbursts, he’s probably messing with you or trying to manipulate you. This is especially true if he only has these outbursts in front of you!

Do not react to these outbursts. Don’t give your Cancer man what he wants just because he cries or lashes out in anger.

If your Cancer man is genuinely feeling down and wants your support, he’ll seek you out in a better way. He’ll have dramatic outbursts when he’s just trying to get under your skin or mess with you.

Tell him that you won’t respond or give him what he wants until he’s more mature. If your Cancer man cares about you, he’ll fix his behavior.

Ignore Him

If you want to get revenge on a Cancer man for messing with you, just ignore him. He’s probably messing with you for attention, so he’ll hate being ignored.

Ignoring him after a breakup is also a great way to make a Cancer man regret losing you. Show him that you’re not bothered, and you’ll win whatever game he’s playing.

If your Cancer man wants attention, he should be open about that. He doesn’t need to act out or be dramatic. Ignore him when he behaves immaturely, and he’ll realize that he needs to stop doing that if he wants to keep you around!

Leaving a Cancer man alone when he’s incredibly moody and refusing to see reason is usually a good idea in any scenario. If he won’t listen to you or calm down, he probably needs time alone to sort himself out.

Don’t Get Angry

Don’t get angry when a Cancer man disrespects you or purposely says something hurtful. Do not rise to his bait or start a fight with him.

Remain calm instead. Act like you genuinely don’t care about what he said. Show him that his opinion doesn’t matter to you and that he can’t make you feel bad.

Cancer men sometimes try to make others feel angry when they are angry or upset. He is trying to project his emotions onto you when he purposely pushes your buttons.

Refuse To Argue With Him

If you’re arguing with a Cancer man, he’s already won. Sometimes, Cancer men pick fights as a way of messing with people. Don’t let him pick a fight with you.

If your Cancer man actually wanted to talk about a disagreement, he’d do so in a respectful way. He’d try to talk things through maturely and listen to your side without being combative.

A Cancer man who constantly picks fights with you for no reason is trying to manipulate you into doing what he wants. He may want to get a rise out of you and make you feel bad, especially if he’s in a bad mood.

You can beat him at his own game by refusing to play it in the first place. Don’t argue with him. Remain calm instead. Tell him you’re happy to talk to him about what’s happening but that you’re not interested in a fight.

This magic will make your Cancer man want a relationship with you.

Keep To Yourself

Distancing yourself from a Cancer man when he’s playing games is usually your best bet. Once he realizes he’s legitimately pushing you away, he’ll stop playing games.

When your Cancer man is treating you poorly, just do something else. Hang out with some other friends or do something on your own! You don’t need to entertain his dramatics.

If you aren’t sure how to react when a Cancer man pulls away, letting him pull away is sometimes the best thing to do.

A Cancer man pulling away from you to get attention or manipulate you will quickly realize that his plan isn’t working when he sees that you’re keeping to yourself and not trying to make him come back.

Keeping to yourself might also make you realize that you’re better off without this particular Cancer man. He’s likely not trying to make you leave for good, so he won’t feel like he won if you never come back.

Acknowledge His Manipulation

If you want to make a Cancer man feel guilty while beating him at his own game, directly call him out when he tries to manipulate you.

Cancer men can be kind and compassionate people, but they can also be incredibly manipulative. It’s sometimes difficult to spot this because of their caring nature.

A Cancer man’s manipulation is sometimes successful just because he does have a reputation for being a kind person. Others might not believe he’s trying to manipulate you.

A Cancer man who is trying to manipulate you will behave passive-aggressively when he doesn’t get his way. He’ll openly sulk if you disagree with him about something or refuse to do what he wants.

When he does this, acknowledge it. Tell him you know he’s being passive-aggressive and that he can’t manipulate you!

Why do Cancer men play mind games? Sometimes, it’s the only way they know how to get what they want. Directly tell your Cancer man that you won’t play his games, and he’ll eventually stop playing them too.
