I tend to keep to myself really. I'm not really one for revealing who i am or how i feel, which doesn't really help those around me who want to help me. Sometimes i can show how i feel, usually if i'm extremely happy or very annoyed or angry; generally though i keep it all hidden.

all the things i have read here are true of us leos but is that so bad, we are a part of the big picture as are the other 11 signs but we will go on leading, following,teachimg, learning etc etc etc.....
but we will still roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah.. im a leo too.. i always pretend im happy but insuide im dying..
but i pretend for good.. i dont want anyone to be worried about me..
and i love to keep my secret to myself only..

I'm Leo too and I can tell you, I just really open up with someone I really but I mean REALLY trust, with others it's like charmaine said, I pretend to be happy even if inside I'm devastated... I also don't want others to worry about me. Maybe it's a defense, maybe a way of not showing any weakness, maybe both lol. We Leos tend much more to help the others than being helped by them .

Hallo everyone!

Amazing how many Leos we can get together in one place. And glad of it, too, because I usually get on great with them. Of course I love egging them on to hear them roar, sometimes, but I have as yet to get my head bitten off  

It's true that they are "always" right and don't you dare suggest otherwise, but I find them lovable even at their most aggravating. And it doesn't matter wether they are emotionally expressive or not, because it is easy to see through them. I see when they are suffering and dive in for a hug... which they usually accept grudgingly, as long as it doesn't look as if you pity them! god forbid their pride should be impaired by a bit of affection.  

I have observed that male and female Leos can be as different as lions and lionesses. Personally, I find the females more formidable to contend with, while the males are more easily won over. Still, they are all so noble that I see no danger in entering into a discussion or some bantering with them: they always win (or think they do), but they never try to humiliate their oponent and all ends well.

And, whatever they might think about it themselves, they are really cuddly seen from this side, just like Swetha's avatar, or Patt's rather coy one.  

So a toast to all Leos, like my gran who died last year and with whom I had so many good times, even when quarreling
