I only ask, because i have 3 female Leos in my life - one, is ... or at least i thought was my best friend. Anyhow, she in particular seems quite distant. I have left a few messages for her, and she hasn't returned them. I know i haven't done anything to piss her off, so i know its not me ... i think she is going through some life altering thing and i am frustrated because i want to be able to help her, but she won't let me in.
Any advice? Should i just leave her be and see if she comes to me? The hard part is, i am also going through some hard times and it would really be nice to know that my friend was there for me as well.
I think that is a phase many Leos go through in their life. For some, disappearing isn't just a phase, its a life style .
I'm a Leo (08.13.85, Cancer Moon, Ox) and so is my sister, my brother, my grandmother, a few of my friends and two of my neighbors, and notice this disappearing act in them and myself (not to the extent of your friend though), but I find it funny when they do it at this point but, maybe I'm just used to it. Anyway, if this is out of the blue, and she isn't responding to you, she might be completely enveloped in some new project. If not that, she may be having a personal problem and is just trying to avoid you and others so as to not put any of her own stress on people she cares for. (But this is a time where Leos are more outspoken and confident!) Unfortunately, for some Leos, if we can't be happy all the time, we'd rather seclude ourselves away from the world and recharge in our den, so to speak. However it isn't meant to be offensive or to be taken personally. But Leos definitely differ from one another depending on if they were a early, mid or late Leo.
We all have problems, and if a Leo "queen" decides to act like a tyrant and gaze out the window of her high-rise castle onto the city like she's the only one with difficulty in life, if this is truly the case or if your heart truly feels theres something wierdie going on, then she is not treating you fairly and you may need to look elsewhere and deserve a much better, supportive friend, like yourself. If theres a problem you deserve to know I believe. Perhaps time will tell.
Do what feels comfortable for you. She is lucky to have a friend so considerate. I hope she contacts you soon! TakeCare and GoodLuck! 🙂
Thanks Marley. I do think she is being a bit unfair only because i have left her 4 messages with no return call. I think i will just wait and she if she contacts me - when she does, i will see what was going on and i think i will tell her that no matter what she is going through, if she values our friendship, she needs to treat it respectfully.
mm nope; not having a particularly hard time lately. but there are only a couple of circumstances in which i would not return one of my best friend's phone calls. one is that i am incredibly stressed out or hurting due to reasons out of my control. i don't like talking to/dealing with people in that situation. second is if that person has done something to piss me off so badly that i need time to collect my thoughts before addressing them. third is if i have so much going on that i barely have time to s#!t.
can't speak for all leos, but i am very good with maintaining communication with the people i'm close to, and if i lapse there is a substantial reason behind it.
Give your friend a fair bit of space. If this is a personal problem let her brood alone for as long as she needs. When I had my own difficult period I went into seclusion for four months.
I agree...Give her space; I've done this to my sister + brother recently. They were mad, because I talk to them daily; but after I explained what was going on with me they understood. This wasn't the first time I "secluded myself in my den too"; definitely will not be my last.
Thanks everyone. I will try to be patient and wait for her to surface again. Its tough concept for me, since i "wear my heart on my sleeve" and need to talk to my friends when i have a problem. I also don't want her to think i have given up on her. Well, i suppose if our friendship is as strong as i think it is, it will all work out. I just hope she is ok.
Guess What! Maybe i spoke too soon :-) My girlfriend called my last night and although she didn't admit to anything in particular wrong, she did apologize for not calling me back sooner and said that life just got in the way. So for now i will accept that.
Thanks everyone!!
