Your friend brought me back to this thread. Gotta love Anubis. Egypt, the homeland of magick...
I think one of the things to keep in mind, one of the many lessons of the Cancer - be able to deal with the complexities of being sensitive within, yet with the outer shell. Somewhere, the creature strikes her balance. It's a tricky sign to be. Yet it can't really do away with either nature. In some ways, I think the Cancer should be notably a dual sign, for she has a dual nature after all, in that regard.
But hypocrite? I think you're judging yourself too harshly. You don't appear to be a hypocrite to myself. And not all love is purely Anima projection, either. It isn't when you acknowledge the side. It can be recognized within. One of the tricks in Anima/us projections, is being able to know your own. Then you can be able to discern another person, from the projection of yourself.
Maybe one of the ways, you can begin the process of overcoming the fear of being wounded, or dealing with the former wounding, is learn to love friends, animals, art, for love isn't simply reserved with another soulmate. Certainly the seventh house nature runs very deep -- note the one-to-one relationships involve the descendant, or shadow self, they're intertwined? You have to be able to see what you're meant to learn in this regard, in some way. This requires honesty, and a healthy dose of courage.

And you're not damaged goods.
