These are the worst traits of a Leo

As the star of the zodiac, you’re the life of theparty and everyone knows it, Leo! You thrive when you’re in the spotlight due to your natural talent for performing and entertaining others. While your confidence is admirable, however, it can snowball into arrogance, landing you on everyone’s bad side.

Though there’s a lot to love about you, Leo, there are some things that could make you pretty irritating. Here are Leo’s worst traits:

Stubborn

You’re right about a lot of things, but due to your fixed modality, you tend to be stubborn about them—even when you’re wrong! You believe very deeply in your opinions and views, and when someone challenges you, that can easily set you off, says Nina KhanofBustle. It wouldn’t hurt once in a while to open your mind to other people’s perspectives!

Arrogant

You know how awesome you are, which makes you your biggest fan. While that self-love is admirable—everyone could learn a thing or two about the kind ways you treat yourself—that also means your ego is a little oversized, and no one likes dealing with an inflated sense of self-worth! You toe the line between confidence and cockiness, says Bustle, so you need to tread carefully. Some modesty wouldn’t hurt, either!

Self-absorbed

Ruled by the sun—with which the solar system revolves around—you can’t help but think the same of the people around you, says Bustle. You often think of yourself as the center of everyone’s attention, forgetting that you’re living in a shared world where other people are just as important. All this attention on yourself can make you especially insufferable!

Attention-seeking

If there’s a cartoon character that would characterize Leos, it would definitely be Tinkerbell, as you would simply perish without the adoration and applause of others! You glow when all eyes are on you, which means you’ll do everything in your power to make sure people continue looking at you, says Bustle. This can get tiring very quickly, as other people would like their time in the limelight, too!
