What's up with that? Where's their huge ego?
Maybe you've got yourself a kitten???
Explaination please. Is that like a Leo with an underdeveloped ego? If so, that sounds like an oxymoron.
Sorry that was a joke, I have no more knowledge of these creatures than you. If you're lucky a couple of these creatures will be prowling these boards in about 6-8 hours...Leolady, Ike, enfant & pro they'll all good with insight smile
I'm a little on the quiet side. People have said that I'm too humble and self-distanced to be a Leo, but I'm actually all Leo underneath. I just don't like showing my flaws and weaknesses. I guess it's a way of manipulating people into getting what I want: flattery and attention. Winking

We dont all have a huge ego. Besides, ego is perception really, dont you think? I myself am loud and proud, but I know when and when not to turn on "the ego" so to speak. Personally, like E_T stated above, we can be quiet and humble on the outside while possessing that "true Leo confidence" underneath. We just pick and chose when and who to show it to. Maybe this particular Leo doesnt feel quite comfortable in your presence yet? IDK... not sure what the circumstances are that prompted your question. More info maybe and I can add more!
Maybe because i'm a virgo cusp (but just barely) but i have my quiet moments. i'm actually not a loud, boisterous type that u can spot a mile away. i don't particularly "act" flamboyant. my performance consists of trying to be ninja-like so i prefer to be as inconspicuous as possible in public. i easily flip from life of the party to wallflower in social situations. though i am more likely to be put as the center of attention but not by my own volition. no
seriously, i am always acting but the roles i take on aren't extravagant, melodramatic types. i like playing the offbeat characters or the ones i could only dream of becoming (hence my wanting to be a real ninja).
I am very quiet in my day to day life, and usually am the quietest even at gettogethers (I like observing people and what they have to say). As for the shy part, I used to be extremely shy when I was younger, but in the last several years I have broken out of that shell.
The LEO man I dated is a shy/quiet one too, but underneath his silence, one picks up quickly the grandiose will-power in him. He admitted that he only talks with me so much. I seriously didn't realize how less he talks in public until I got to meet him in person.


My other LEO man friend is the talkative type. He constantly apologizes, thanks and calls me sweety.
*I am sorry... , sweety, but thank you for picking up my call.*
After being friends for close to 2 years, and him calling me almost every day and sometimes several times within a day, I have to remind him that I have a name. This man has energy and the strength of a lion besides his vast knowledge and his interest thereof, but he still is so modest sounding. He can sweet-talk me into anything... I have to watch out not to get trapped in his romantic pursues.

My quiet LEO man says uses exactly the same quote except for the "broken out of that shell" part.
I wonder since he got some boost from this sexy scorpio, if he is in some blooming stage?
Believe it or not, there's plenty of quiet demure and even shy Leos out there. I have met lots of quiet Leos not so much shy, but a few of them could be considered socially awkward I suppose. If they are anything like me, then they're quiet because they're observing not because they're shy.
I'm a Leo, yes, friendly, extroverted, loving, and generous, and no way I'll let anyone either come close easily or try to dominate me and get away with it. At times, I'm loud and boisterous. At times, I prefer solitude. Also I agree with the other Lioness, we're not all that egotistic as they portray us. It's just that we're more open and honest about what we are than those who are reserved and keep it to themselves, as though there can't be quiet people with big egos.

I can be quiet, but never shy. But I've come across a shy Leo guy, too, I suppose. Even I was a bit confused. He's too shy to open up a new conversation just like that, but once we start chatting, he's all bright and brilliant, keeps me laughing. smile
I am Leo Virgo cusp but my Jupiter is in Leo giving me the best Leo traits lol and my Mercury also, making me a King of communication lol. But I am shy sometimes. The last 10 days and 40 minutes of Leo daily is ruled by Aries Leo. The Mars influence makes these Leos real good at communication, good enough as a profession.
