Hey !

I know a Leo & he can get on my nerves from time to times. So sometimes I ignore him just so I don't blow up ... but doesn't last for long.

How do you Leos react to someone ignoring you?

I also have a female friend who is a Leo... depending who the person is she can't stand being ignored especially after a disagreement. She literally goes off until she's had the last word.

So just curious on how some of you react to being ignored.

They won't like it, but he/she may either ignore you back or blow up at you, then ignore you back. The mature ones will try to talk to you first, then if you continue ignoring them, they'll stop talking to you as well.

To be honest I had to block the person ... which is something I do not like to do but it had to be done. So I guess my follow up question would be: as a Leo would you find other ways to contact the person like via social media or however else if you were blocked through phone/text? Or would you just let the situation be?

As a Leo but more so from a personal point of view, I'm often so self absorbed/ busy/ in demand elsewhere -I don't even realise I'm being ignored - so I'm gonna go with not bothered...

if afterwards you were like 'how'd yeh like them apples huh I ignored you' I might pretend to be upset if I care 'bout you cos that's the reaction you're looking for lol

I am sorry that happened to you. But i am sure they will let it be. Try not to worry. It doesn't help. 🙂

Thank you 🙂 ... I've cared for the reason for so long & remember the good times ... but the person has changed & you know just bitter sweet feelings.

I go along with it, take a mental note of the passive aggression/lack of well-oiled communication skills, and redirect my focus until later on. If it annoys me that much, I'll wait to address it/call them out on it when we're face to face. If there was some kind of heated situation, I don't mind cool off time and I can respect that desire. I'm not gonna force or pressure someone to interact if they don't want to. Especially if there's anger involved, it's what's best. My mouth can be a blade coated in salt. ?

However, I give attention generously and intricately so I just may decide to be stingy with my attention if someone chooses to disrespect it.

Lol thanks for your input. Yes I know the mouth of Leo all too well. I know a handful of Leo's in my life.

Do you straight up tell him he's annoying the hell out of you and you need some space? Or do you just pull the classic libran disappear with no warning thing?

Oh he knows he is annoying . I'm not like most libras ... well I don't know many Libras but I don't disappear. If anything I stay maybe too long because I don't like feeling like I'm "giving up" ... whether it's relationships or friendships. But I did have an ex many years ago who was a male libra .... who does and still pulls the disappearing act.

Go easy on here she did say she didn't want to actually block him but felt she had to....

Not everyone can be so direct.

Are ya feeling sensitive over there today or what? How was I being hard on her? I asked two questions to her that had absolutely nothing to do with what you think I should be doing on dxp

It's cool I didn't take it that way.

lol I agree... see only time I have to pull the ignoring game with anyone is when I feel like Ima gonna say some mean things. And the person knows how I can get but he goes kind of MIA for like a month "giving me time to breathe"... if anything I think that makes me more mad lol

Got it, have you told him that you have no interest in talking to him ever again? We Leos can be a bit dense if we aren't told something directly. Once you do this the Leo's pride should take over and he'll be gone for good. Leos typically don't stick around where we aren't wanted. Don't be afraid to hurt his feelings.

HOWEVER if you have told him to back off already, then you may have a bit of a stalker on your hands. It's very possible blocking him will do the trick. If he somehow persists, let him know that you're going to the cops if he can't get a clue.

I have told him in the past ... we have had a long history .... he wouldn't take me serious when I said I had no Interest in speaking to him in the past .... he would write to me weeks to a month later. And because I would miss him I would respond... but those feelings are gone.

Got it, my advice would be to not respond to him at all even if he does manage to reach you. You may have trained him that your words aren't serious by responding to him in the past. You'll need to stand your ground this time and not talk to him at all. At the moment he "knows" that he'll get a response from you by being persistent, which is why he is still contacting you. Do not reward this behavior by giving in to it.

Exactly, this is how I handle it.

I try to be reasonable and talk about it but if I put myself out there and am still ignored I will just go away, you wont hear from me

They hate being ignored. It feels worse than death. Eventually they will learn to live without you but will still secretly long for you.
