Often called the kings of the zodiac, Leos don’t necessarily scream “subtle.”
This is just a whole lot of ouch.
The lion doesn’t need to be the center of attention to feel fulfilled.

A lapse in concentration to the conversation will be perceived by the Leo as a sign of disrespect.
But don’t confuse respect with being fawned over.
Like anyone, Leos love a compliment, but they see through a fake facade easily.

Not exactly legendary “diva” behavior.
Finally, Leos aren’t the selfish egomaniacs we’ve been trained to believe.
The myth of Leo selfishness comes from their ambitious nature (viaCo-Star Astrology).
