Why Leos, why. Why every time you are mad do you have to send me a long list of reasons why I'm such an awful person instead of just addressing the problem and moving foreward? Don't you see it just makes you look bad?!

Does this pertain to all Leos or just the one you know?

The Leo I know is quite indirect and very sensitive. I have to watch what I say....

I have known ONE Leo out of the 10 I've met (literally, 10...) who is indirect, and does not like conflict. He also has Moon conj. Neptune though which has always stuck in my mind. He's a nice guy though.

I can never seem to stay peacefully friends with a Leo for longer than a year. I do have an easier time with female Leos than male ones.

I just don't understand Leos' logic when they're mad. They make no sense and resort to extremes.

Hihi it's like looking in a mirror. Well you know, I've never been really involved with a Leo-guy (a little bit deeper if you know what I mean) and these days I am and really it's almost funny how his reactions do not differ from my (leo) own if I sense a lack of attention from someone I like a little bit more than usual.
I notice an annoying child! Gosh.. then I think, please don't let me be like that!!
Boyy what a mirror! and yesss what a temper!

The two Leos I'm speaking of didn't like me romantically! Unless you guys are just that possessive. I have a Taurus moon, so I get being possessive and wanting to "own" people but I don't flip out on others and say awful demeaning things to them when I'm mad! And I have a Mercury in Aries!

I'm a female leo. I only get mad at others when i feel disrespescted. You do not talk down to a Queen. You have to treat us like royalty or things can get nasty. I try to be diplomatic and nice when i have a problem but if the disrsepect is really bad then i'm not noce. In our minds we think they deserve it for disrespecting royalty. LOL its true People need to understand us.

When they are mad at me nothing I say helps, they tell me I'm just making excuses.

To be fair: what did you do that made them mad? What's their side of it? Did you make fun of them? Hurt the pride? Embarrassed them? One-upped them? I don't mean to be rude, but I can see an Aries or Sag making a Leo mad that way, since you guys tend to be blunt, impulsive, and don't always think before speaking--you don't normally mean to be malicious, unless you're bad sheep/bad archers, but sometimes the wrong thing comes out with the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I've only known one truly toxic monster Leo. (I suppose one could think of bad Leos as "Scars" and good Leos as "Mufasas". This one was definitely a "Scar" type). I've had issues with a few of them, and have had things be up-and-down, but overall, only one true Scar Leo. I get along great with the lionesses.

If you're comfortable answering, what did you do that made them mad?

I don't get along with most leos their my south node....its not so much their tempers as it is their ability to hold grudges. Example, One time I went to this concert and I waited on line from 1pm until it started at 9pm so I could get a good spot in late fall in nyc anyway after the concert as I am I spotted two people we were kinda friends but only friends through association of another friend and as we're leaving I say I am going around the block to see if I could spot the singers going back to their hotel because the theater was right around the corner from the hotel they were staying at. We walk over there I tell them I was there since 1pm and I was wearing 5 inch boots to see over the crowd and how tired I was. Then they start talking about going to K-town and going to karaoke etc. I briefly say I am leaving and there still gabbing, using inside jokes etc. I walk off and hop on the train to go home I was tired and it was nearly 12pm. The next day I get a message from them about how it was wrong and rude to just leave and not tell them. 1. I didn't come with them 2. They weren't listening I told them I was going home 3. I didn't say I was going to hang out with them, I came by myself for the concert. One has a Taurus sun and the other a Leo sun I just can't with fixed nature

You know... Honestly, I've never really made a Leo mad. I've known quite a few Leos, but I don't think I've ever really gotten into a full blown fight with one. They usually try to maintain their image too much to show that you've really ruffled their feathers. HOWEVER, I've known some male Leos who were just kind of jerks. Some of their opinions/judgements on people were just awful. It was more like a worldview than an attack on anyone specific. Kinda weird now that I think about it...

Awakemer - I'm an Aries with Gemini ASC and Mars in Gemini, and I think it's the Gemini that ticks them off. Them and Scorpio, but I digress.

Regardes - She got mad at a lot of things. She got mad because she assumed I was still embarrassed of being her friend online (when we first were FB friends when I was 19, I thought "Oh no, everyone's going to think I'm weird for having this person I've never met on my profile." Now that I'm almost 24, obviously I realize no one cares. Also because I didn't add her duplicate business profile right away...) < Explaining that however is seen as an excuse.

The second Leo who told me off used to be my friend but it was a super unhealthy friendship where I gave, and gave, and gave. When I peaced out he made up a dramatic story about his parents kicking him out, and then I was the horrible person for not being there for him and how could I delete him and our mutual friends off Facebook (he'd hurt me badly emotionally so bad I basically went into Hermit mode, that's how I dealt with it and I didn't want him seeing my stuff.

RIGHT? Like why is it just ONE person's fault?! Ugh.

In the first case, I could see how she'd be upset. I would be upset, too, if I thought that someone was ashamed of me--I have felt like that before, and it's an awful feeling. Plus, again, with Leos: PRIDE.

I could also see how she'd see it as an excuse: she may think that you are just trying to get out of friending her or that you don't really want to be friends with her, but are just trying to "be nice" about it. I'm not saying that is how you feel, but that is likely how she sees it.

In your defense, you have no obligation to friend people that you don't know, as well as no obligation to friend people that you know but don't like. I would also say that personally, I would not be upset if someone that I didn't know didn't friend me: on the contrary, I would consider it weird and would be freaked out if someone that I didn't know or else didn't know well did try to friend me. While I can see her being upset, her level of upset-ness would make more sense if you two actually knew each other in real life. So, I can see both sides here.

The second case, I think you have a Scar Leo. I've experienced that too, from one Leo and three people of other signs. Not exactly the same story, but basically tried to emotionally blackmail me and use my emotions against me. The game went like this with all of them: I would be honest (and usually tactful and courteous in most cases), they would get mad, they would say I didn't care, that I was insensitive, would moan and groan about how they felt and how they were hurt, would play the martyr, blah blah. I'm on OK terms with two of the four, but the other two are people I avoid for other reasons (the two I'm OK with have cut back on doing that). So, you're right in avoiding those types, if they aren't going to change for the better.

I never take low blows. I'm a Leo.


Maybe when I was a teenager and more immature.
And I have Scorpio Ascendant. So words can cut

This.

Plus, getting upset over Facebook seems petty to me. Especially when it's not relevant.

Exactly! It's not like I denied ever behaving that way, I owned it and I apologized not only back then but recently as well but beyond that what else can I actually do... sometimes I think Leos use old problems as a way of getting out of something they don't want to do or using it as a front. Maybe she just didn't want to be friends anymore in which case, FINE, stop messaging me then... no reason to cause a ruckuss over it!

I understand that too, it's just that I USED to feel that way when we were first FB friends, and yet it had nothing to do with her or her personality. I friended her because our commonalities extended beyond Tarot, etc. I guess I just don't understand Leos' lack of understanding or open-mindedness. When they get mad, they seem to believe what they're saying is fact and written in stone and unable to change. Frustrating for a muteable ASC!

I guess, but if Leos are so logical then how does it make any sense for me to be trying to unfriend her years later for no reason. I'm an Aries... I don't waste my time on people I don't genuinely like!

How did you manage to stay on okay terms with them? Whenever I try to stand up for myself against a Leo I feel silly even though the two I've spoken of were technically being verbally abusive towards me.

The only Leo I've known (I think I mentioned him earlier in the thread so I may be repeating myself) had a Capricorn moon, and he was almost Libran in the way he handled conflict - meaning he didn't. He was easy to guilt trip into things and when amongst confrontation he HATED it. My Scorpio friend was the one who cut him off but he never got mad at her and yelled at her (must be nice...) They just stopped hanging out and talking. When she tried to apologize a year later he still denied she did anything wrong, it's just that he won't resume their friendship. Leos are like that which I find interesting... they burn bridges or they never go back to friends. Lovers, maybe but not friends. How do they manage to sustain friendships then? It's a part of life that people are going to make you upset but it doesn't mean they're bad friends overall or bad people... do. not. get.
