Everyone knows how Leo has an obsession with being the best at something, right? And in the episode where they go into the Maze of Death for pizza Leo refuses to use his mystic powers just to get his face in the wall of champions, almost costing them their lifes (there was fire. Fire. And the walls were closing? You cannot tell me that they weren't going to die. Unless no one was meant to die and someone stopped the maze when they got too close to losing their lifes? I don't know.)
In that episode, Leo says “y'know, it would really help me if you guys said I was your champion”, to what the guys replied with “just open it!” (the portal), clearly refusing to do that. So, I had the thought (yeah what a surprise. Thinking. Haha) of Leo doing something reaally big. Maybe saving their lifes in a different way than he usually does? Perhaps it could be him tricking Big Mama to stop her from killing them.
Well, the point is, Leo did something really great, so the fam says “only for this occasion. We'll only say it once. We won't repeat it”. Leo's like “uhh sure? Okay go ahead”, and then they say something like “Leo, to thank you for saving us and blah blah blah. Anyways, we wanted to let you know that you're our champion” or something like that.
And Leo's like oh my God? Did they really just say that?? And he goes silent. Staring at them. He asks “are you serious? Is this genuine?” and Donnie affirms that it is, and if Donnie says it's true then it must be true because Donnie wouldn't joke about that, so Leo feels great, because his brothers actually called him their champion! And he's! So! Happy!! Because let's be honest. This is a boy with clear abandonment issues who seeks praise. He shows this in a different way than Donnie, but it's still true, so to hear them all seriously saying that is truly amazing for him.
The others are worried, because Leo isn't saying anything? He's not bragging or being annoying. He was silent, to the point where if he wasn't in front of them then they wouldn't even notice he was even there!
Then Leo starts crying. And everyone else is surprised because wow that is not how I expected this to go. And, of course, they're all worried, because Leo never cries for something that isn't a sad movie or comic.
So now we have a sobbing Leo and three panicking brothers who don't know what to do.

"What's that thing your brain makes? Dolphin memes?"
"Do you mean… dopamine?" Donnie asks slowly.
"No," Leonardo lies, immediately deciding he can never let anyone know how badly he messed that up. "In the future, you really liked dolphins. I don't know why."

GS2 Leo going from missing his dad so much during the space arc that he talked to a hologram of Splinter, to finding out his dad's a ghost and not being able to stand being the same room as him.
(This is probably why he struggles so much to come to terms with it. Because the person he'd usually go to for advice, or to talk through is feelings with, is the very person he wants to strangle.)
