Leos Always Make Convo About THEM

Posted by heybitchez
don't change yourself

I'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.

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

Yeah, 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

We 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. âœŠðŸ'•

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.

@sultrykitty

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. 🙂

I 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).

@CopperDove

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.

I'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.
