The Introverted Leo
Born in the first week of August I am right smack dab in the middle of the Leo time frame. For those of you unfamiliar with the sign, Leo’s are known to be prideful, strong willed, and confident leaders. They love to stand out and be the center of attention. As a fire sign they are literally a force to be reckoned with. They walk into any situation knowing that they are the most qualified in the room.
For most of my life, whenever I met someone new and we clicked; whether it be friend or a love interest, they’d all eventually ask the same thing. “What’s your sign?”
As soon as I tell them I’m a Leo it turns into them trying to prove me wrong. “There’s no way”, “Are you sure?”, “What’s your birthday”, until they get to the dreaded, “I don’t usually like Leos”.
Based off of everything the horoscopes describe of them I can see why some are immediately intimidated or overwhelmed by the sign. Coming from someone who should have been a water sign at birth it can be emotionally draining to be in the presence of an actual Leo.
I am a very introverted intellectual. I’d rather blend in than stand out and I’d rather advise than full blown lead. I run from social media and currently only have one to help with my writing platforms. Leo is just not my sign no matter how the stars try and align it.
