reserved leos

do any other leos out there have a hard time expressing how you truly deeply feel for someone? as lovable as i am i can be super reserved as well especially with my deep emotions, any tips?
Sounds juvenile, but if its someone I am not already involved with, I write notes/texts. It lets me gather my thoughts and I can read it to make sure I'm not going too far.

Otherwise what I say ends up coming on too strong.
For me, I always feel like people will laugh/feel uncomfortable. For the most part I keep my feelings to myself out of a fear of rejection...

Yes, absolutely.

Tips?

Not at the moment, no.


As usual, I'll endorse what sultrykitty said.

Tbh, though, even then it can be difficult if not worse.

Because there will be an actual record of what I said.

Yipe

That's why you read it first, silly. Then you still have a chance to burn it! Big Grin
Yea I seem to be scared if rejection also
Sometimes it's good to get out of your comfort zone. I don't take rejection well at all (think panic attacks), but sometimes it's worth the risk.

For some reason with the Aqua I've been with for 2 decades, I was able to expose my deepest feelings from the very beginning. Even though he rejected me outwardly in the beginning (he was treating me like a FWB) somehow I knew it was just a front and in the end he admitted that it was.

I think before we put ourselves out there and risk rejection, we have observe and trust our gut that we aren't putting our pearls before swine. Then, even if we're rejected, it's done by someone who doesn't want to hurt you intentionally and it goes down easier.
yall are all right!
I only have that problem when Ive felt any form of rejection. example, if I say I miss you and the response is not mutual either verbally or physically. If I ask for a hug and Im told no. If I call and my call is not returned within 24 hours. I will shutdown and withhold any acknowledgment of like or love. If these small forms of rejection occurs repeatedly, then I remove myself from that person's life gracefully.

If Im into someone that is demonstrating to me that they are into me, then they are in for LOVE OVERBOARD from me lol.
I have a hard time expressing my feelings if i see any form of rejection. If I’m being expressive it's because I'm really into you and I don’t have a problem with letting you know. When I express my feelings towards a man it's because Im trying to get to the next level with him.
Yes, tell me about it. I find vocalizing it really difficult, so I would usually write letters to express how I feel, or do everything I can to make them happy in order to show them my true feelings.

In the moment, it's easy to laugh or balk at others' showing vulnerability, but whenever I did, it would leave an empty feeling like I'm not being vulnerable enough. For the 9 out of 10 times they crash and burn, the 1 meaningful connection made it all worthwhile.

And at the end of the day, that's really what

it's all about.


You a Pisces, jukey?
I'm a Leo and I don't have a hard time expressing my feelings when I am comfortable with you when I am NOT I am shy but give me a while and I'll come out of the box.
