I don't seem to get along with Leos

This topic was created in the Aries forum by AriesScorpioAquarius on Tuesday, October 19, 2010 and has 38 replies.

Why You Might Struggle with Leo Personalities

Leos are often seen as confident and charismatic but can also be insecure and attention-seeking. Personal chemistry varies, and not all Leos align with typical traits. Your experiences may reflect individual differences rather than astrology alone. Understanding their need for recognition and sensitivity can improve interactions.

I've read on all the sites that Aries and Leo are supposed to get along really well but in my life that has been far from true. I've briefly dated 3 Leos and been friends with many more but in the end I always seem to get sick of them very quickly. I have yet to meet a Leo who truly lives up to the description on the sites. I have yet to meet a strong Leo at least by my standards. They are caught up in what other people think of them and while they put on a good show they are nothing but paper tigers (lions? lol). Whenever something bad happens to them they are the first people to complain and feel sorry for themselves. They are extremely shallow and there doesn't seem to be much there. They are also ridiculously insecure and become frightened should you not pay attention to them.

Has anyone else had an experience like this? Maybe I've just been unlucky but I've found all the Leos I've ever known to be absolutely unbearable.

I agree with them being pansies lol. I don't get how they are in the same element as such strong signs as Aries and Sagittarius are. I also get exasperated with how unbelievably selfish and inconsiderate they are. They are described as being generous and kind-hearted but I have as of yet to meet a Leo who is caring and empathetic towards anyone but themselves. I admittedly have a big ego but even I can not take the sheer size of theirs.

People w/ a lot of Leo are loyal and protective. And when they do get upset (and they pretty often) they get over it fast.
I like em alot..they are fun at parties..they are not afraid to dress wildly when they go out.
Leos live big..

Picking on girls—?? Really? U just can't take it can you? Why do u care what some1 thinks of you? If you "KNOW" or believe it isn't true why get so unglued about it? It's just unbecoming of a Leo? Leos are suppose to be gallant no?

I am a leo .

And i want to strangle you dumb cunts and step on your "horns".

Astrology is not all sun sign morons . There are other placements in the chart ! And most of the "leos" you met are infested with "cancer placements ", which make them overly sensitive or "virgo ."

I have mostly leo in my chart and i sure as hell wouldn't back down from a single one of you "rams" rofl .

Egotistical ? yeah!

Markers ? yeah !

sex gods and sex hugry ? You BET!

BUT

pansies ? cowards ? low self esteem ?

HELL NO . only dumb treetrunks who can't think and don't understand astrology say stupid butter like you larks .

Please HATE ME . I could give less shit . But don't talk bs about stuff you don't understand .

If you noticed my point was that I have yet to meet a Leo I get along with. By loosing your cool and throwing a fit you are just proving my point. If you really wanted to prove me wrong and believe me I would be overjoyed to meet a wonderful and pleasant Leo than the best way to convince me and the other peoples on this ARIES not Leo ARIES discussion board would have been to calmly and maturely state your case rather than doing the online equivalent of a toddler throwing a tantrum. However I admire your passion and the fact you care about your sign so why don't you just come back and restate your points without attacking other people? Then I will be more than happy to listen to what you have to say and take it into sincere consideration. =)

Also Zero your last two pages of comments calling Amethyst a "scared little girl" makes you sound blatantly misogynistic and is not going to make people like or respect you.

Anyway back to the conversation. I just had a group project in my Psychology class and this Leo girl insisted on being the leader and then she did absolutely nothing and then had the nerve to ask I quote: "How did I do at leadering?". To which I replied: "Wait you were the leader? You didn't do anything". To which she ran away crying. I almost felt bad but it was pretty clear they were crocodile tears intended to get everyone to feel sorry for her.

I'm an Aquarius sun but, I'm an Aries rising. I have yet to meet a Leo woman who hasn't incited feelings of rage in me. Lol. I found them to be very selfish and self-absorbed, snobbish, vain yet insecure, melodramatic, petty and incredibly attention seeking. They had the attitude that the world revolved around them.

I once had a Leo best friend and I ended up walking away from the friendship because of the qualities I listed. Any time we had a disagreement, we could not have a civil, calm discussion. She??d get snappy and sarcastic, and eventually turn it into a dramatic scene worthy of daytime television. I felt like I could never be upfront and honest with her if I what I had to say could in ANY way be construed as critical of her. Her ego was fragile and she protected it fiercely. Whenever we went out, she would sulk if she was not the center of attention. If she thought I looked better in my outfit than she did, she would refuse to go anywhere. She had a generous side. There were definitely times when she was an awesome friend. But, when it came to fulfilling the emotional needs of others in compromise of her own-- whether it be in romantic relationships or friendships- she was soooo selfish. It was all about her. I have an Aqua friend with a Leo moon and I see a lot of the same qualities in her. She seemed fun and entertaining at first but, I slowly realized that is a front. Underneath the dazzling exterior is a very insecure, childish and self-absorbed person. I've never dealt with Leo men so, I can't comment on them.

No offense to any lions in the room.

Yeah that pretty much sums up every Leo I know lol.

I'm a leo, and I feel that A LOT of the things mentioned here were very true. I have a bunch of leos around me, mostly guys though, and maaaannn, they're difficult and annoy the s**t out of me. However, it is not only about a sign. I always think that a lot of times it is about self-awareness. If a person doesn't even think how one's actions or harsh words affect others, they prolly do not even have the urge to change. Especially since leos do often think they're the best. It takes a lot of time, discomfort, and analysis to see and try to fix what is wrong with you. And then, who is to determine WHAT is wrong besides the individual himself..and if they think they're awesome, they're not going to do it. I know several leos who limited their circle of friends to lower class people just to feel better about themselves and then everything just kind of went downhill for them. It is not enough to just think you're awesome, you actually need to be the best. And I am a strong believer that leos do have that competitive gene and energy which can be applied in the right direction. I don't want to makwe this about myself, but I HAVE NEVER had friends walk away from me.

Now that is a meaningful contribution to the conversation! Now that I think about it all of the Leos I know except for one are around my age (I'm 19) so that might have something to do with my overwhelmingly negative pool of experiences with them. It is wonderfully refreshing to hear such honesty and candor from a Leo. I tip my hat to you.

I think you have a very good point that younger Leos at least seem to be highly deficient in terms of self awareness. A Leo I was friends with in High School started ignoring me because she didn't like the fact I was stronger and had much higher confidence than she did. Even to this day when I see her from time to time she almost seems to cower in my presence as if she is afraid at any moment I am going to run her over with a bulldozer.

Zersucks said, "That's because sun sign is tip of the iceberg you dumb fuck . NOT every leo is going to be loud and arrogant , some can be shy and some can even be sensitive little losers . It all depends on the MOOn and other placements .

Holy shit your dumb beyond belief ." And what is your problem with Cancer & Virgos? They would kick your stupid ass bloody.

According to your brilliant hypothesis, why then do you troll the Aries SUN board to put us down? Take your advice much?

Oh, and can you please stop sending me pictures of your dick. It's disgusting & frankly unfair to all male Leo's.

that' what's funny about them, and all fire signs that is, we think we're all tough and stuff, and we can be, there's no one more braver and to the point than an aries, but really we are just softies on the inside.

i like how leos aren't afraid of danger and i like the aries bravery. and i do't mean bravery as in taking a bullet for someone, but bravery as doing the right thing when others would crumble and succumb to peer preasure.

OMG. LMAO! This thread takes the cake for humor. A pissant Leo gets his feelings hurts, has no life, the internet IS probably HIS life, he is lacking attention and starving for attention, so he comes to an Aries forum thread about Leos being disliked and seeks negative attention. This is really a classic! And then he seeks for Aries to be brave over the internet.... you have really got to be kidding me!

I nominate this thread for first place for Aries humor. 😉

What do you think?

ROFL...Yeah we all owe it to that pissy little Leo dude who came in here and managed to prove our points far better than we could on our own and simultaneously amuse us to no end.

Maybe the issue with how we look at the other signs is that we don't understand why we are so real, honest, forward, face-value type people, and folks that confuse us are those that hold out in situations, like love, work relationships, friendships etc.

Because I think highly on how I go through this life I can get quite shocked at other people's behavior.

Either I admire those that behave more appropriate than me or I partner up with those also willing to participate in the matter, all else tend to confuse as to why they showed up but aren't willing to do anything.

All in all, my point is that because I expect others to share in this life on a certain level, that I forget we are all different, and in the case of Leo's just so confused and frustrated by their energy that seems to exclude others rather than include others such as talking about themselves as if they are the only ones that matter, etc, or the last to call you when you are home sick.

... I have some great Leo friends but because of the way they carry themselves I would rather hang out with someone who can talk about anything other than how great they are.

Leo women are kitty's. They just need to be petted. I feel for them because they are as misunderstood as Gemini people. Pet them a lot, and they will purrrrrr!!! Oh wait, I have Leo rising. Shut up GM!!

don't get so bent outta shape, there, fellow leos. not everyone is gonna like us and we need to be ok with that (hard to fathom, huh? heh.). they probably just attract the bad eggs in the group as there are rotten ones belonging to every sign.

every aries i've ever met seems to like me just fine, usually moreso than i like them, so i'm not worried. in fact, i've been tight with one aries guy for 14 years because of my leo ways. he can hardly hold on to any relationship because he is the very definition of aries aggressiveness and i'm one of the few who can quash his overbearing ways.

usually the people we attract into our lives reflects who we are inside so... enough said 😉

So you came along to validate his behavior? And then enable him to continue doing what he was doing? Interesting.

I think I know who you're referring to but I didn't read most of this thread. I'm not validating nor enabling anyone's behavior. We are all in control of our own actions here. I'm just trying to tell the leos in this thread who are taking offense and reacting to not take it so personal. I understand leos are very prideful creatures (I'm not above it). Therefore, hate threads such as these that are directed toward them might leave their egos wounded a bit. I'm just offering up the advice to let it roll and let the haters hate if they want to.

I'd just like to point out at this time that so far only 3 Leos have posted here. (Unless I missed one) And only one has behaved badly =) and apparently his posts are gone now. The others have been perfectly fine. Just to be fair to the Lions.

@ bluemoon: Haha, ok. I see you just wanna argue but that's not really my style . Usually when someone uses the slang term "hater", it does not necessarily equate to actual "hating" but at least a dislike to some degree. So, I didn't mean to assume that you were truly hating anyone and for that I apologize.

"Who do you think you are to come into a thread where your "fellow Leo" was being extremely hateful (yeah, let's talk about a hate thread) and dumping all his negativity to shit on this thread and defend him?"
