I'd love to know.... I am a pisces and my older sister is a Leo
I've heard that leo's, as children, can be total attention seekers and the phrase 'sibling rivalry' caould hve been coined with them in mind!
This is certainly true of my sister! Maybe it's just because we are sisters, but she totally ignored when we were kids, left me out of everything and even to this day takes great pleasure in putting me down and patronising me, and onthe other hand being totally overbearing and trying to control aspects of my life - like who I go out with and what I do for a career etc etc. She cannot stand it when she is not the best greatest and getting the most attention, that it is quite funny to watch!!
What is the deal with this—?

oops i'm an leo older sister and while i hope i wasn't this bad i suspect there may have been times.She just doesn't want to share the limelight, its childish and irrational but leos are sometimes.however, we're very loyal and caring and i'm betting that if anyone hurt or crossed you she'd be after their blood. Try flattery and ask her advice and explain in a really nice non-attacking way that u love her but sometimes though youre sure she doesn't mean it & her motives are good that she upsets you.She may simply have not noticed the extent to which you are hurting -we're kinda prone to self involvement.

Hi!
Thanks for your insight! Sometime it feels like I'm going crazy and I'm imagining these things!
The thing is, I don't really understand why you have to mean to someone just because you want to get all the attention?? I mean I have a leo moon and a leo rising, so I am quite drawn to the limelight on ocassions, but I would never put someone else down for it?
I think the softly softly approach doesn't work (well not with my leo anyway!). They just end up walking all ove you even more! I think you are more likely to back down if someone stands up to you.

leos are not bad people there nice once you get to know them well although they love attention there not that bad trust me i am a leo can be horrible sometimes but usually caring and funny!!!!!!

i dont really think that leos allways want attention its just sometimes when they feel good about them selves i suppose!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Leo female and a younger sister. I was very attention hungry when I was a girl and very concerned about being the center of attention and the apple of my parents eyes. But eventually I gave up on it like most leos. Soon she will find something else to roar about. Create her own drama. Because Leo's LOVE drama, even if they won't admit it.

How do I get her to stop doing this??
I've ended up silencing her out, and totally keeping my distance from her, and now I think she knows something is wrong. But I feel I can't exactly turn around and say, "well sis, the cumulative effect of years spent enduring your put-downs and undermining of me, has taken it's toll - and I have to either keep my distance from you and stay sane and somewhat salvage our relationship, or keep spending time with you and end up exploding and letting everything out in a fit of rage." I know if I say something I will probably come across as the baddie. So what do I do Leos—
Your help would be appreciated!

Try simply talking to her, and think it out beforehand. Be very positive but don't drown out your message. More or less sugarcoat the fact that you're hurting a little. My girlfriend casually mentioned it to me and I have made a very worthwhile effort to cut back on the jokes at her expense. Bear in mind that the typical leo, even if it doesn't always show, cares very deeply for those kept close. We're often very eager to please those around us but unfortunately get so caught up in "leoleoleoleoleoleo" we overlook the things which might be hurting others. Just have a talk, and state the problem, don't attack. 🙂

Oops, I wish I had read your message last week! I don't know what to do now because, unfortunately I confronted her about some things, and now she feels hurt and thinks I hate her, and I feel I have to give up my argument once again, to make her feel better, and reassure her that I don't hate her, even though I meant what I said. It IS very hard because, being a typical piscean, I tend to take things personally also, bottle things up then let them explode. Not very good at thinking things through rationally when we feel hurt either, or being objective - when we are hurt we are hurt and that is all we can think about (and maybe that is childish too) but there is nothing I can do to change that either. I don't want her to feel bad, but it seems the only way (again) to make her feel better, is to sacrifice everything I feel and said to her, just to amend the situation?? Why can't she just accept that she is not perfect and that I have a right to take offence at some of the ways she treats me, instead of bringing it all back to being about her again.
Thanks for your help anyway - I just read it a little too late!
