Why do Leo's put up with so much?

Why do female Leo's put up with so much? Myself included. I noticed we tolerate alooooot. Especially when it comes to our partners.

Because you are mazochists?

I used to put up with a lot, but not anymore!

Experience has moulded me enough to give people what they deserve, be it even the nearest and dearest! No, that doesn't mean I'm not loving anymore; I am still loving and friendly, but I make my point CLEAR these days. If someone crosses the line even after that, they'd either be given a loud dose or I'd shut the doors on their face!

This way, life is a lot easier and more comfortable. Put the self first, dear and that's NOT selfishness! 🙂

Why do Leo's put out so much?

Because we love deeply and care so much even more than our partners do.

It's the one flaw about myself I absolutely hate the most. I call it a flaw because people will almost always take advantage of this weakness. I have learned over time to limit my interaction with people. The last 10 years or so I've really limited allowing ppl to get too close. As people get older their life experiences impact them, some ways, good and some bad. This means people become more complicated and if I can minimize interactions I don't have to tolerate too much of something that's going to drain me or lash out on people for just being them. Happy medium 🙂

Self-esteem, wishing to see the best in the other person against better judgement, forgiving...

but hmmm leo's will put up with alot ...i know i do..doormat Syndrome.

Who da fuck are you??

Ah! Thanks for bringing this up! I need to discuss this and hear a ten or twenty other Leo females telling me, "Will you stop being overly noble or too stupid?"

I'm tired.

1. I'm optimistic. Even when I get rid of a toxic person and meet someone with similar traits again, I tell myself "Nah, not all of them are toxic", and sometimes, it turns out that they are indeed toxic in different ways!

2. I pride myself for the abundant, rich love I'm capable of giving to all those in my circle including strangers that need some moral support or innocent kids or old or poor people.

3. When I get close to someone, anyone, I tell myself, "Stay true to themselves and your values." The result? Even if I know that I am with the wrong person, idiotic, stupid me finds it very hard to let go!

Wow, what an interesting fool I am for those people who have no sense of humanity or affection or respect!

Shucks! How the hell do I get rid of this habit— Wish a close friend would come right up to me, slap me on the face and say, "Change for your own good!"

I'm Sick! I'm Tired!

Hey! I'm still learning how to do that! I've limited myself (and my affection) to a very small circle of people and I don't allow anyone to come close easily...

But what when even after all that, you trust someone only for them to later prove that they're some inhuman jerk and don't deserve your affection one small bit— Phew!

Please teach me how to limit my circle even further. I hate being taken advantage of! Tips please?

I disassociate, I interact in an automatic way and I try very hard not to relate/connect to/with people. My way may not be the best way but for a number of years this worked for me.

My advice would be if you are a person that enjoys a large circle, don't limit it. If the people in your circle are taking advantage of you, either address it or move on from those individuals as gracefully as you can. As for the inhuman jerk, well, identify the qualities that he had that you were attracted to and be able to identify them the next time you let someone in. The reality is, people are human and will do or say things that can affect us, negatively and positively.
