My leo friend is very defensive

She cannot take to criticism and even consider it...she immidiately is defensive and will say "I don't have to take this shit" and drive off in her civic and not call for weeks...stubborn...and senseless..at times to even recognize error on her part and accept and apologize when necessary..

HI THERE. I READ YOUR POST AND WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT. I'VE HAD A FEMALE BUDDY ONCE (SIGN UNDER LEO TOO NO DOUBT) WHO DIDN'T LIKE TO APOLOGIZE EITHER AND WENT ABOUT WITH A STREAK OF ARROGANCE, HOWEVER, I THINK YOU SHOULD TRY TO TALK TO HER, GENTLY, AND ASK HER WHAT IT IS THAT'S MAKES HER FLY OFF THE HANDLE. MAYBE SHE'LL GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT THAT YOU MAY HAVE NOT KNOWN BEFORE. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK AND SHE'S STILL THE SAME, THEN THE FRIENDSHIP WILL NOT WORK--MOVE ON. BUT, TALK TO HER IF YOU CAN...HOPE THIS HELPS.
SLOANE (LIBRA)

Leos are extremely sensitive and have tremendous pride. Even the SLIGHTEST criticism can even make them cry. I try to be careful how I speak to them by making sure I say something nice before I finish talking.

To the original poster, since your buddy is a Leo, what sign are you?

I'm still curious....The reason I asked is because, I think some signs work well with others and some don't. If you compare your sign to hers, it mau give some insight.

Sloane..... I am a gemini and I am so generious I have given her so much spontaneously...and she barely even says thank-you...

Hmmm. Maybe it would be best if you could forget about her. It sounds like you're offering 70% of the friendship and she only 30. That's when you have to walk away. Tell her to go use someone else. You don't need it.

Hello all! I am a lioness and just wanted to comment regarding the oh so defensive lion who has her claws out at all times!! Well I must say I can be vey defensive and work pretty hard not too! But her behaviour is innapropriate. My boyfriend is a Gemini and we get along fabulous. He does not tolerate bull. You need to tell your friend that you care for her and that treating you that way is not cool. Also when you let a Leo in on how they are being pushy also let them know that you still really like so many other things about them. I find that when I hear any criticism I have to try really hard not to take it all the way to heart. Leos like to know that they are loved and in no way being rejected!!! Explain how hurt you are and how much you care for the friendship...if she was/is a real friend she is bound to want to comprimise somehow!! Afterall Leo's love to be loved!!
:O)

Dear readers,
Hmm, well I'm a leo. I must admit i am bossy. but what can b e better than being admired by a crowd ? I hope my male leo partner will return. i just love this website. manething for me writing. call me Britney. he he , just joking call me leonardese...whatever

I just wanted to let you know I think you should talk to your freind. She might not understand though because she sounds pretty immature.But you should definately tell her how you feel. I'm a leo female and when someone tells me the truth no matter how bad it is it open's my eyes.Maybe it will be the same on her.

my bestest friend is a leo, and i'm a scorpio...people say that these two signs don't work...and i'll admit we've had our share of problems...and she can get very defensive, and self absorbed...but what i've found that always seems to work is communication. If you just let her know how you feel and what's going on...then maybe there's a chance she'll understand and be willing to work on whatever the problem is...
