Yes or no

no....not usually but sometimes they uncharacteristically do. when they never have before.

So yes

I would say as a sign they are very very direct and open. Much more so than others.

What what about honest with themselves. Self-reflection in the moment not after the blow up?

Hmmmm

I think sometimes as a Leo -being direct can misfire on meh. So I feel a bit shell shocked after the unexpected reactions from people around meh, and might shut down for a little bit...

No just curious if I'm on to something from my POV that is

It totally depends on context. I am all for direct, tough love when I'm asked for it. And if someone flails their ass? Boom! But typically, I weigh what I say against all the possible outcomes, then choose the outcome that keeps the most practical peace

You've never been in the position where you've said something-

and the person freaked out?

and then you gotta dip for a little bit, because now things are hella weird..

Well if it's consistent, depending on how much i value them- I won't be as blunt, or make as many jokes.

But this isn't because i'm being empathetic or sensitive to them-

I just don't want to listen to them emo rage for 30 minutes.

that's something fire naturally has to deal with, i have given it some thought before. puts me at ease when mine prances.

anyway I think they do. and not all leos are very direct, if you might think they all are.

a friend I used to have wasn't, for example. she was a cap mooner.

they mostly have an overt manner of expression, but I don't think that equates to being consistently direct about everything.

Both yes and no.

If someone shades me, I have no filter in real life, alot think I have no filter in DXP land so you can imagine the verbal onslaught in my real life social settings. And I'm the type where insults roll off me, because I'm focused on hitting below the belt until you feel this small (.). I only behave this way if I'm dealing with an ass who thinks they can shut me down emotionally, until they realize they can't.

For the people that respect me, I show respect back and restraint. They go out of their way to be pleasant and I do the same. They have a verbal filter and so do I.

Leos are sleeping beasts, the cray cray is unleashed at our discretion.
