Some of you guys simply do not understand that Leo is a prime example of how eldest siblings are put in a gray area of both caretaker and sibling and how the amount of responsibility he was given over his brothers’ lives and the thousands of people in New York is what ruined both his mental state and his bond with his brothers.

Leonardo was never able to separate work and home because it was one and the same and as such, he was unable to properly separate being a leader and being a brother within his relationships with others. He was unable to establish a good emotional routine with his brothers. The amount of responsibility he was given as a teenager is as much responsibility that Splinter has as their father because Splinter is putting Leonardo in charge of his brothers’ wellbeing, safety and lives as well as the wellbeing, safety and lives of others. 

He is a planner because it is a trauma response to the amount of pressure and responsibility he has. He feels panicked when he does not have control because if he does not have control over a situation, someone could die and it is his fault because he is responsible as the leader. He is in constant survival mode and is on high alert at all times. Stop basing his entire character off of moments where he is clearly stressed and panicking. He’s not a gentleman, he’s a young adult that has built his entire personality off of ninjutsu and the morals his father taught him and has never given himself the time to explore and redefine himself outside of a fighter and leader. 

The entire point of Leo’s character is that he is not a leader. He is not built for leading, he is not meant to be a leader. Leo’s position in the family as a leader is the cause of conflict caused by unhealthy power dynamics. Leo being a leader tears their family apart because he’s not meant to lead. He’s a teenager. 

In all, Leonardo is an incredibly complex character who has based his entire worth as a person on how well he can lead and has no idea what his personality is because he’s built a façade of a leader for the sake of his family. His leader façade is a defense mechanism used to confront conflict and has become a trauma response to his own PTSD. 

Leader Leo isn’t Leo, it’s a façade and persona he’s created as a way of successfully handling immense stress and responsibility without breaking.
