I've read a lot about Pisces and Libras disappearing. Had the displeasure of experiencing both myself. But of late, I've had friends and family complain that I've been doing the disappearing act on them!

I couldn't believe it at all. They say that I offer no explanation and go quiet for weeks on end. Now I know I've avoided people and situations in the past, mostly because I can't deal with anything negative, depressing or anger-inducing. Also not a fan of confrontation. But I'm pretty sure that if somebody I was avoiding decided to reach out to me, I'd deal with it. Given that they did it in a diplomatic manner.

Question is this, do Leos do the disappearing act? Or am I an odd one out.

Leos can do it, but I think we need to get away from signs for a bit and have some perspective. Unless u did something very extreme (hit, cheat, etc) disappearing acts aren't acceptable. Nor are they very mature. When I was younger I would do it briefly to 'punish' the other. It's a manipulative tactic. I didn't know I was being manipulative, but I was young and it was just my instinct to grab the power. I really don't tolerate disappearing acts. Anyone who can't express themselves or communicate that they need space is really annoying to me. The only accept ion is a longtime friend going through a REALLY tough time.


Best.

Leos can also pull the disappearing act by mistake if we get extremely busy. We pride ourselves on being able to handle our lives and sometimes need to back away to figure all of the things we have to juggle. However, when we go into this mode, we don't necessarily go silent altogether. Reaching out to us is still easy to do, we just won't be the ones initiating contact. If you ask us what's going on, we'll let you know.

If we do ghost entirely it possibly because we are upset or have chosen to cut that person out of our lives. When I truly am done with a person, I'll make absolutely no effort to contact them and will weed them out of my life.

That's what I learned with a Leo friend. Time would really fly for them if things were busy in their life - they would usually be surprised, when we talked again, that so many days had passed since our last contact. What I started to do is if I didn't hear from them after a certain amount of time, I'd call to say hello. They would be happy to hear from me and they'd fill me in about what they had been up to. If they were going through a hard time, they weren't the type to call me up to tell me, but they would be open about it if I called them and asked how they were doing.

@CopperDove, that's absolutely what we do. We can get easily swamped with life (especially if we chose to take a bite out of life bigger than what we could actually chew). Regardless unless we are INCREDIBLY upset with you, we will always pick up the phone or call back (we'll actually do this even if we are upset normally, it'll just take us longer to respond). Also because we are proud, we don't like to talk about any issues/hard times we are working out at that moment, but we will share if asked.
