Leo Roars Loudest When Feeling Small? The Pride Paradox
Under the Crown: Leo's Hidden Vulnerability 🦁💔
Leos project immense confidence, ruled by the radiant Sun. But paradoxically, their pride can be incredibly fragile. Their biggest fear? Not being seen, not being special, not being admired. This deep-seated insecurity is often masked by their outward bravado, need for attention, and sometimes, dramatic displays. When their ego is bruised (by criticism, being ignored, or feeling 'less than'), they might react with loud defensiveness, exaggerated confidence, or even withdrawing into a wounded silence. The "twist" is that their demand for the spotlight often stems from a fear of fading into the background. Understanding this vulnerability allows partners to offer the genuine reassurance and validation they crave, feeding their confidence rather than just their ego. True appreciation helps soothe the hidden fear.
