Leo bridge burning?

When I was younger I would burn bridges with those I felt took me for granted. As I've aged I've tried not to do that (especially in terms of business) because I choose to not take people too seriously. However I have found that some people are simply toxic and should be removed.

What are your thoughts on "bridge burning"? Is it a necessary evil? Have you done it?

I used to do it a lot frequently, not burn bridges per say but being used as a punching bag for other people's deep seated issues, verbal assaults, etc., so yea I removed myself from toxic interactions quite frequently. Basic human respect for each other shouldn't be that hard but it is for a lot of people and you can't treat those kind of people with kid gloves. I have a low tolerance for disrespect.

I burn the bridges that easily when I could detect the true intention of the person that I just met or knew. But for the person I knew for so long, its not that I felt 'heavy' to let him/her go...its just that I let the situation will slips them away instead of me declaring the "cut off".

Definately necessary sometimes.

When it comes to business I'll never be too proud to not work with you. I'm just going to charge double so that my time suffering your presence pays off, literally.

Ok, I'll take that back...sorta. There are definately some people out there that I would never work for again.

I burn bridges easily but that's bc I have the luxury to not really need anyone in my life. Everyone's pretty much disposable.

I've burned bridges with immediate family members bc even though I could and have forgiven past hurts, and acknowledge it's nothing personal it's just their petty peasant ways and they really mean no hurt.. I couldn't see myself wasting any more time and energy on them. Even just small talk would be exhausting.

In that case I ended up being the dick. And I'm at peace with that. The older I get the more I realize it's about making life easier for yourself and you add to your life whatever will work within those confines. What doesn't work.. bye bye.

My mother learned this at the age of 60. I'm 32.

When i was younger i didn’t care to burn bridges. But now a little older i think twice before walking away from someone because not everyone is replaceable and I’ve kearned that the hard way.

If i think you are a toxic person then i probably wouldn’t be friends with you too long to consider it “burning a bridge”

If I ever burned a Bridge believe me it should have been burned.... Trust ....

I was like this and wanted to learn from my past. Bad timing. Cause those who deserved it were Pisces men. The one who got and wasted it was a Scorpio male. But I think the problem is not his Sun sign. He is just mentally challenged. In those parts of the brain which have to do with the good will and faith and giving. ES DECIR TOXIC.

PS: I have nothing in Leo. (ok, my part of fortuna is in Leo) but I'm a fellow fire sign.

PS: the dark world seems not to end its darkness, and us fire signs think if we put enough effort into it, we can change darkness into brightness. nop. not gonna happen.

i am not quick to burn a bridge. but when it's burned, i don't look back with regret except to wish i had done it sooner.

I'm the same way. I'm not quick to the draw. I let the person show who they truly are and based on their actions I decide whether or not they are worth keeping in my life. However once I'm gone, I'm GONE. It's a permanent decision. What's my rationality sets in, it's hard to reverse the logic to leave.

Right in business I do have some flexibility, but I also have a certain standard/value that I keep for myself. If I get the sense that someone is unprofessional/messy, I'll still burn the bridge just so that I don't risk a future business error. In my mind, I don't need to work with messy people when they are so many who'd appreciate what I offer.

Right, I don't think people are disposable the way I did when I was a kid. In fact I think everyone has a purpose, be it good or bad. Generally we can all learn from everyone else, whether that be from their successes or their failures.

I've tend to keep people in tiers. That way I'm never truly disappointed or shocked by a person's actions. However once a person goes too far beyond my level of comfort, it's best to let them go. Though I won't lie, my Leo pride does come into effect. If I think someone has severely undervalued me, I see no point in sticking around.

I try not to burn any bridges, and extinguish it if I see them trying to do it to me. Even my enemies can be useful for me to get ahead in the right situation. That's how I see it.

I don't burn bridges, ever. If anything, I simply stop acknowledging whatever it is that I cut off.

Example: my sister. A very toxic person but only to people close to her. I will respond to her initiations but not acknowledge our relationship. The door for her has been closed to any kind of real interaction but I won't be mean or rude. I've had my say with her and if she doesn't want to acknowledge her behavior, I have no interest in being anything but cordial and I will never initiate a conversation with her.

Yes and yes

So much whining and criticism. Chuck your virgo moon is strong.

Who's whining? I just don't see the point in enabling toxic people. I also don't like having my time wasted, so if I'm not value, I see no problem in leaving.

I'm ashamed to admit that I do burn bridge's. What's in your 7th house?

Leo energy needs nurturing and love in order to thrive. I know that sounds super corny but its true.

It's either Libra or it's empty depending on which site I use.

Yeah I think there are different ways of handling that. I find that being mean to someone is unecessary. I can be cordial and still never make any real attempt.

It's much harder to shut down someone I've known for a while. I came VERY close to burning a bridge with a good friend when I was in college, I'm glad my Cap friend prevented me from doing it.

Correction, astro.com had it as empty before, but now it has my 7th in Scorpio. It puts Libra in my 6th along with Virgo.

Well an easy one would be a partner who cheats. I have a big NOPE policy with that. A less extreme example would be people who run hot/cold. It's just behavior I choose to not validate by giving my attention.

I have to learn that myself.

It's not healthy right. Hot cold.

Well to wait around for someone who is hot/cold is just disrespectful to oneself.

I'm a little wary about giving advice on this because it'll only be based on my own experience.

As long as your peace of mind outweighs whatever consequences, if any that may come with burning that bridge, then pour the gasoline and lit the match.

Have more nurturing and loving relationships. Leo energy needs that sh it.

Yeah I basically strive to only keep positive relationships around me. I'm at the point where I torch anything that even has a HINT of drama or toxicity in it.

I’m not much of a bridge burner.. u have to be a real piece of chit for me to want to burn that bridge. I only have irreplaceable ppl in my life

I never burn bridges ever..people burn them with me. I keep hanging on until whenever that person kills the line communication. I'm always there for somebody even when they have treated me like crap.

I'm forgiving to a fault.

I Can't imagine burning a bridge ever. I may just stop talking to u as much.

Earth and water signs burn bridges with me fire signs never do. They're my longest and strongest relationships.

When I’m done, I’m done. I think about it long and hard before I just cut ties.

I know some people that cut ties at the blink of an eye. I just can’t do that. When you’re a friend you’re a friend most likely for life with me.

I hate losing friends or loved ones over stupidity

Right getting rid of a true friend is REALLY rough and something that I seriously refrain from doing. I hate it even more when two friends have a falling out with each other and change the entire group dynamic over something stupid.

See, I have a hard time being there for people who treated me like garbage. It really depends on the situation though. If someone treated me unfairly, but I cared about them, I'll give them a fair warning to stop (sometimes multiple warnings). If they don't choose to treat me better I see it as them being unwilling to change and take that as my cue to leave.

I make excuses for people at times. I try to understand why people do certain things and most of it is always understandable. So you can literally just ask me for anything. IDK where I get this trait from TBh.

So I would never say something like leave me alone, never speak to me again (like a cap) lol. I've never been put in that position.

The only time I may burn a bridge is in dating.

If you don't want what I'm looking for I'll leave and even then it just took me an entire year to do that. Then they are the ones that burned bridge W me. Bcz I wouldn't let go so to speak.

Many times and i dont regret it coz i dont need them in my life,they are the ones who always need me,im pretty good in disappearing you will really feel it because i make it a point to be in your life if you are a friend helping you everytime be there for you always,but when i get burned and i feel that your taking advantage of me you will never see me again
