I have another Leo coworker who is like your Leo cousin; he just ignores me and doesn't include me in things and talks to me like I'm stupid. His supervisor (a Scorpio) noticed and corrected his behavior. We interact now but I still think he resents me.

Yesterday, the female Leo seemed to get low-key nasty which makes me believe she is starting to realize that I am not interested. I am not a mean person but I will defend myself, and my weapon of choice is humor. I don't make fun of her I just turn around the jokes she tries to send my way. She has this thing where she teases me about being mean to her and she's gonna go to her therapist and twerk on her... none of us get it lol I was this close to writing her on Facebook like what's your deal? but I am going to feel things out Monday and address it then

Although I'm a fire sign, I tend to notice things in Leos that annoy me. To me, the naturally "intelligent" signs in terms of intellect and intuitive processing are scorpio, virgo, gemini, aries, libra and capricorns...sags too at times. The signs that rely on raw intuition, gut instincts (which are often bang on) and a more philosophical intelligence are cancer, pisces, taurus, leo, sagittarius and aquariuses..IMO. Leos are intelligent in their own way, but sometimes they let their egos interfere with logic. To an unhealthy leo, when someone exhibits a different type of intelligence and something comes to them easily too, it is hard for them to process. They like being in control of how they perceive people and in control of gauging others through introspection; they feel others are a reflection of them, but they do not necessarily understand ideologies the same way another person does. Basically, sometimes their egos fail to allow them to accept that other people can exhibit high levels of intelligence or performance of some sort, and it challenges the hierarchy that they have constructed in the egotistical, go-getter part of their minds. The cousin I had was jealous that I was labelled as gifted and could have adult conversations at a young age. She was really mean to me for no reason as a kid, and that's why I stopped talking to her. I noticed she would expect me to address her when she was giving me a lot of attention, or just straight up acted cold with me when she felt like I challenged her authority. Not all leos are like this though, I've met some fantastic ones. The leos you mentioned are insecure, and unfortunately they see you as a threat.

I did not perceive it this way at all with the female Leo. With the male Leo, it was quite obvious but the thing is I don’t even care about hierarchy. They are higher up than I am due to tenure and I have no desire to be in charge. This is just a job until I finish my degree and can switch careers. I’m just being silly with her, I didn’t realize she thought it was a competition. I thought she was flirting 😂😭

The "wanting to help them" probably comes from an insecure place tbh

Or an ego, or…. multitude of other reasons! To write it off as an insecurity is lazy & basic. People, do in fact, tend to be a little bit more complex than that and not everyone is driven by same motives.

Generally, yeah, but in relationships, it stems a lot from insecurities. The need to feel needed because the self esteem is shit. The idea of saving/fixing/helping someone makes the individual in question feel wanted and needed. Insecure people don't feel wanted or needed, so they seek out situations where they think they're needed- in this case, it'd be a relationship.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding was she was/is not in a relationship with this dude…for one. Two, I stand by what I said. One would be surprised to know how much ego alone can be a powerful motivator to do and/or allow stupid ish take place.
