Leos Always Make Convo About THEM
don't change yourself
Posted by heybitchezI'm glad this was the first response. Damn near can close thread lol. Because I was thinking the same thing like. Shit that's me. That's how I communicate. If you don't like it, bye. My intentions are good. And I can tell when someone is really in need of just a listening ear vs when someone wants to talk back and forth about something.
don't change yourself
But I am being more conscious of it, I do it and don't mean to. I shudder at the immature Leos who do it, talking to them is probably like talking to a brick wall
Posted by xXxAliciaXxXWe would get along beautifully then lol. You're right about it would most likely only bother someone who was self absorbed themselves either that or they just don't "get" Leos or already have a preconceived notion of us. I don't talk about myself much to anyone but loved ones. But if you're having an issue, I like to tell you about my similar issues to give ideas on how to handle said issue. Not as an opportunity to talk about myself lol. Which you get. ✊ðŸ'•Posted by ragingfireloveYeah, maybe. I just don't find it that serious. You guys just have a lot to say that's all. You're not the type who like to bottle up your feelings and emotions. I understand. It really doesn't bother me. One of my best friend's is a Leo and she can talk my ear off but she's hilarious and SO witty. Besides, if it does get "out of hand" or whatever, real friend's can let each other know when to pipe down lol

Oftentimes taking is actually giving. When you "take" you invite the other person to do the same.
I love a conversation where the other person can shamelessly talk about themselves aswell, and where we're sort of fighting over eachother's attention. Conversations with introverts is like holding a damn interview. They're mooching off your energy but offer very little in return.

OP, this is totally me too.
I've never thought that's what people thought of it, thanks for opening my eyes to a different perspective. Not sure I can change it much but it's a good thing for us to be aware of. 🙂

Posted by enfant_terribleI agree. I like that type of conversation too, it's open, raw and lively. It's a give and take. Only thing with fighting over each others attention is when I'm listening to the other I'm in my head trying not to forget the point I want to say haha.

Leo stellium in the 5th house friend does that aaall the time. Leo stellium in the 11th house is a little bit like that, but manages to balance it pretty well. Leo stellium in the 8th house balances it pretty well(although they don't share much at all until you've known them for a while).
I'm not a Leo but I often do that, to relate to the other person and show understanding and hopefully entertain/interest them, not to hog the floor selfishly. If I don't like a person, I won't do it at all.
Sometimes I worry about how it's perceived when I do it, but it's been rare that anyone has complained.
I love it when I talk to someone who is the same way, if they don't mind sharing the floor back and forth to some extent. I find it very engaging and I often learn a lot in the process about other people and situations.
There can be a real naturalness to that kind of exchange, instead of doing a more Q and A type of discussion which can start to feel almost clinical.

Posted by enfant_terribleI'm not sure this is an introvert thing. I'm a loud I, introvert and my bestie is a quiet extravert, I often dominate the conversation as she is very quiet, yet a high E, extravert.

My good friend is Leo and he is very much that way. It's all good though because I am Leo Asc I am very me-centric too. I am always relating things back to myself or my experiences. I don't do it in a selfish way - I feel that relating something back to myself shows that I am interested in what the other person is saying. When I chat with my Leo pal a lot of the conversation is give and take talking about ourselves, relating, and making jokes. I think Leo Asc is more difficult to adjust to since it's the outward personality - and confident, me-centric, fun-loving - is definitely a strong potentially intimidating combination. Leo/Leo Asc have big hearts though, which anyone who gives us a chance - soon finds out 😄
I've been struggling with this myself and I really dislike when I do it. I have been trying to just listen to people and not relate to anything they are saying verbally. Just listen and take it all in. Its hard to break old habits but i think its a step in the right direction being conscious of it.

What is the most remarkable trait in Leos? I would like to know various opinions. Just for fun/curiosity. What I noticed: Leos have the biggest heart and would give the shirt off their backs if someone needs it. And forgive quickly if that person is
I'm an Aries/Leo and he is a Leo/sag and my connection with him feels overwhelming and I haven't been able to shake it, we were seeing each other for over a month and I fell hard and fast. He did not as he had another girl he was seeing before he decided
Can anyone help me to understand the meaning of having a leo sun and leo moon.. :)
what the duckers! He's foreign and pretty cute. He works in the IT department of my company. Sun Aries 5°35' Moon Leo 20°57' Mercury Aries 24°11' Venus Taurus 9°28' Mars Gemini 26°11' Jupiter Leo 3°34' R Saturn Aquarius 4°4
Okay, so...A lot of people hate on the Leo ego or 'pride' but have you ever considered that we need our pride to protect our big hearts from getting hurt? Whenever I've denied my self pride, I've let someone totally walk over me and put my fire out. Pri
I have always ran away from Leo's most of my high school life because of their competitive nature. Then the love of my life cheated on me with a lioness. It didn't help matters that she was a model. I avoided them but we hung out casually in a group.
people think we are not that deep but i would say we are deep lovers, they dont call us the lovers of the zodiac for nothing but i can see why people think that. So fellow leos how do you handle emotions? good and bad, do you make them known? would you r
idk maybe its ALL leo's but i'm a July leo and i know other July leos and for me for the most part i'm moody as hell. I know other July leos like this and i find Aug leos to be the center of attention. I'm better in smaller groups and one on one convers
*throws hands up in surrender*
It irks me, and I'm sure it irks others. What really bothers me is that some people probably think that we do it because we loveee attention and HAVE to have everything about us when in my case it is FAR FROM the truth!
I want to clear things up a bit.
Speaking for myself, as a Leo, when I am having a conversation with someone and they are telling me something about themselves and then I respond with, "my mom does the same thing she....." or "Oh my god why did that happen to me last week, I was ...." I don't mean to take over the convo or to make it about me. In my head I am showing you that I can relate or I somewhat know how you feel because I've been through similar situations. But I've realized in THEIR head they may be thinking, "umm excuse me, this was supposed to be about me.. but okay" Mistaking my empathetic nature for self obsessed.
I am trying now in my daily life to just not say SHIT about myself lol and just listen and maybe elaborate or ask questions about THEIR story and maybe at the end tell mine.
