My limited experience of Leos tells me they are relatively unaffected by anything outside of themselves. They just get back up on the horse over and over again. Einstein's theory of insanity also applies here. Or was it stupidity lol

Why didn't you go into my Leo thread and answer what you do for fun? I really want to know. I'm really trying to find fun things to do that gets a Leo man motivated. I would really like your feedback as a Leo man.
Please 😄

It took a lot for life to get through my thick head. I feel it was spending my entire 20s with the mindset I would get to the top of my career, then once I was set free I realized I still had no idea what I was really doing yet. Like I felt the intense fear of being thrown right into the top spot of my personal career, then realized I was all talk and didn't truly know shit. That realization not only made me try 100 times harder, but also humbled me on a deep level. I feel that is necessary for many people, especially Leo energy. At some point we need to be thrown right into the limelight, and will either pass, fail, or both. Regardless we need to be brought to earth and humbled in some way.

Can we be honest about it too? I know Leos love to pretend like they never get bothered, but let’s be real...I know there’s at least that ONE time someone said something, or did something that really messed with your pride or bruised your ego. So what was it? What did they say?
My ex was a Leo - from what he told me, he hated being betrayed by his friends - people he thought he was close to, only to realize they were using him for certain things. Also not being taken seriously, repeated failures in work or when things didn't go his way. He was also used to having the spotlight all of the time in sports - but when he changed soccer leagues for example, he found that he wasn't accepted on the team as much as the first, and his teammates didn't treat him well. I often used to tell him that they didn't deserve him and that his talent should be put somewhere he was truly appreciated and respected. I knew he was upset about it though, more than he would show.
In all my past experience - Leo men are sensitive, and deep down they care a lot more than they sometimes show about many things. As a Scorp - I think that's why I'm so drawn to them.click to expand

Dealing with one, and any time I try to stand up for myself, they lash out and jump down my throat and flip it around and chastise me.
They are extremely manipulative and like to gaslight. Is this a front for those sensitivities? I’ll be honest, I think they’re a stone cold narcissists. If not, they just live up to the cliche stereotype of leos, they’re so arrogant, no one can ever be wrong. This guy has done some horrible things to me, I’ve watched him treat others in a less than considerate way. Today, he twisted it around and told me “he was the victim, and that I’m always trying to make him feel like a sh**y person.” I told him—you feel like a shitty person, because you are a shitty person. Your guilt has nothing to do with me.
If he’s not flying off in sheer rage and defense, he likes to play aloof. I had surgery a few weeks ago—hence why I was so active on DXP—when I returned to work, he literally asked me if I were on vacation.
Like he really expected me to buy, that he had no idea I was away on medical leave—even though his exact words “oh right, you had that uhhh tumor thing right? How’d that go!?”
I know I shouldn’t, I was doing so well paying him dirt. Not giving him any of my energy or time, focusing on myself and my work. But that sent me over, because it was like “wow, what shitty person pretends they don’t know someone—who they know had a tumor—had surgery!? Like who the hell does that!?”
Damn, he sounds exactly like my Libra ex!! I've never met a Leo like this. What are his other placements?click to expand

Well Jesus girl, for him to act so aloof about a surgery and a tumor is not ok no matter what his reasoning is. I hope you're doing better and recovering. Any person with any sign that reacts that way when things are difficult is not worth your time or effort.click to expand

Yeah it’s just odd to me, because he’s so socially awkward, like stunted, doesn’t know how to really have conversation unless you’re complimenting him or giving him attention—then he kinda comes alive. I may make a post about it and get y’all thoughts. But I’m also tired af and don’t care lol
But it’s like, I don’t get how someone could be so arrogant and self absorbed yet also be awkward, like how lmao. Like you don’t even have an excuse for being arrogant cuz you’re so awkward lol
Yeah, that is really odd. He doesn't sound like any Leo I've ever met, very weird. He also doesn't sound like a guy worth your time at all girl. Were you together for awhile?click to expand

I can't say that I've had similar experiences to yours, and I'm sorry to hear you're going through this! (also the fact that he didn't remember your surgery, wtf lol - he's an idiot)
What I will say - ignorance and selfishness are two traits I've noticed heavily with Leo men. They can never take the blame or ever say sorry for when they fuck things up in a relationship. When my ex and I would talk about serious stuff/problems - he'd always say "stop pressuring me, I don't want to talk about this" - and not take responsibility to help fix the problem. They have accountability issues. Judging from what you mentioned about how your Leo treats others...that's not a good sign, unfortunately. If he can't remember the fact that you were going in for surgery...I mean, that'd be a deal-breaker for me.
He doesn't sound like he's worth your time, and you deserve someone who will take note of these things, look out for you, and can admit when he's wrong and not argue it out just to try to win/turn it on you. How long have you been together?click to expand

I agree. Just seeing how well he could compose himself when he saw people walk by, just after cursing me out, all because I called him out for being fake af—pretending like you know nothing about my surgery, but then when I’m back at work you want to act concern!?
We dated. You knew about my condition. Then turned it around and accused me of being bitter and that he’s a nice guy victimized by me. Wtf! Extreme narcissism.
Anyway, I see you’re a man. Do people buy it when a man of a certain age is a bachelor, in his case he’s pushing 40, never been married and every girl people ask about, he has a story of why “she” was problematic? It’s never him who is in the wrong, it’s always something “wrong with them?”
Just curious, how’d you perceive it and if you think most would buy it.click to expand

Dealing with one, and any time I try to stand up for myself, they lash out and jump down my throat and flip it around and chastise me.
They are extremely manipulative and like to gaslight. Is this a front for those sensitivities? I’ll be honest, I think they’re a stone cold narcissists. If not, they just live up to the cliche stereotype of leos, they’re so arrogant, no one can ever be wrong. This guy has done some horrible things to me, I’ve watched him treat others in a less than considerate way. Today, he twisted it around and told me “he was the victim, and that I’m always trying to make him feel like a sh**y person.” I told him—you feel like a shitty person, because you are a shitty person. Your guilt has nothing to do with me.
If he’s not flying off in sheer rage and defense, he likes to play aloof. I had surgery a few weeks ago—hence why I was so active on DXP—when I returned to work, he literally asked me if I were on vacation.
Like he really expected me to buy, that he had no idea I was away on medical leave—even though his exact words “oh right, you had that uhhh tumor thing right? How’d that go!?”
I know I shouldn’t, I was doing so well paying him dirt. Not giving him any of my energy or time, focusing on myself and my work. But that sent me over, because it was like “wow, what shitty person pretends they don’t know someone—who they know had a tumor—had surgery!? Like who the hell does that!?”
@chuckcem would say this is an “immature” or “unevolved” Leo, but really this is just shitty Leo energy. They are the teenager of the zodiac.
The Leo sounds like a lunatic. Saying that he is an immature Leo in an understatement. Steer clear of anyone who exhibits that type of behavior.
I agree. Just seeing how well he could compose himself when he saw people walk by, just after cursing me out, all because I called him out for being fake af—pretending like you know nothing about my surgery, but then when I’m back at work you want to act concern!?
We dated. You knew about my condition. Then turned it around and accused me of being bitter and that he’s a nice guy victimized by me. Wtf! Extreme narcissism.
Anyway, I see you’re a man. Do people buy it when a man of a certain age is a bachelor, in his case he’s pushing 40, never been married and every girl people ask about, he has a story of why “she” was problematic? It’s never him who is in the wrong, it’s always something “wrong with them?”
Just curious, how’d you perceive it and if you think most would buy it.
A man being single at 40 is not an issue on its own. Most men hit their financial stride in their 40s and many choose to focus on their careers first before worrying about relationships until they become successful. This is one reason you will see older men dating younger women and starting families at that age.
However if anyone (man or woman) constantly says that they are single because it is was someone else's "fault", that person is incapable of seeing that they are the common denominator in all of their failed relationships. This is not the type of person to date or deal with. Ignore them.click to expand

Can we be honest about it too? I know Leos love to pretend like they never get bothered, but let’s be real...I know there’s at least that ONE time someone said something, or did something that really messed with your pride or bruised your ego. So what was it? What did they say?
My ex was a Leo - from what he told me, he hated being betrayed by his friends - people he thought he was close to, only to realize they were using him for certain things. Also not being taken seriously, repeated failures in work or when things didn't go his way. He was also used to having the spotlight all of the time in sports - but when he changed soccer leagues for example, he found that he wasn't accepted on the team as much as the first, and his teammates didn't treat him well. I often used to tell him that they didn't deserve him and that his talent should be put somewhere he was truly appreciated and respected. I knew he was upset about it though, more than he would show.

I mention age, because although it is common to meet men who are 40 and marrying younger women—most men do marry before the age of 40. The greater red flag however, is as you said, couple that with his age, it’s just no one I buy that at this age you keep dating problematic people. At 24, sure, your judgment can be off. But by 38, 40 I don’t buy you keep “choosing” the wrong people, and even if you ARE the “victim,” your consistent habit of choosing toxic people says something.click to expand

Oh I am. I needed to experience this, to finally accept what was being shown to me all along. I think sometimes, as women, we get use to being conditioned to make ourselves smaller because speaking up for ourselves can be written off as us being a “nag” or “difficult” or “emotional.” And then I noticed, a lot of us love to believe in the impossible, we hope for a Notebook sort of fairytale ending when all the signs show this person cares next to little about our wellbeing.

It's funny that you mentioned "The Notebook" because out of all of the fictional narratives that have been produced by Hollywood, that movie is one of the most deleterious to building healthy relationships. Drama and toxicity does not equal passion or love. I am happy that you can see this is not a good situation.click to expand

Probably be easier to ask what doesn't bruise their (our...leo dominant here) ego 😆.
Leo energy is super super sensitive and that shit hurts deeply when someone comes at us like most do. It's hard not to lash out ...it's fire after all...fire gets hot quickly but calms down and most can then see where you are coming from (as you should kinda know being an Aries moon and leo rising)...it's not the best way to go about things but it does take time to learn to curb that initial roar...think of an actual lion being attacked...they don't just sit and take it or run away, they fight and they fight hardcore...that's what it can kinda feel like. There's no warning and you're just being attacked by someone....whether they are right or wrong.
Him not remembering your surgery might have been just a way to make conversation....hear me out here. Like him pretending that (he knew) was just a way to keep talking with you...yeah, not the best way to do it but if he is awkward socially ...maybe this was the only way he could think of. I could be wayyyy off base here but that the first think that pop up in my head reading that.
I didn't read the other things hes done but just that aspect...sometimes people are just shitty and not worth your time and energy and if he displays more things you dislike...then it's time to just move on and leave him alone to self destruct in his bs.

My leo friend that I've talk about a lot here .. was/is kinda an asshole, throws tantrums, is the epitome of the leo stereotype...but once I actually looked past that...spent more time with him, and I know this is weird to say or do...but I literally studied lions...idk made it easier to understand him and his patterns (you think with me being a leo moon...I would get it but no...I was clueless) etc...but it's all a front. He's super duper sensitive, has a huge heart, cares about his peeps hardcore and not really all that arrogant that he portrays to be. He gets on my damn nerves tho...a lllllot 🙄 and even tho I know he cares about me ...I'm not 💯 sure I could depend on him so I don't and he usually gets mad about it lol. We do have a sun/moon conjunction so take what I say with a grain of salt because sometimes I get sucked into that circle jerk energy of the back n forth and he brings out my leo moon (not the bad aspects but the child like energy...I can feel him light me up....if that makes sense)
