Bulls... like to whine??

Why Bulls Express Pain and Resist Help

Bulls may vocalize their discomfort to communicate their suffering, but their resistance to help can stem from pride or feeling vulnerable. They might also adopt a fatalistic attitude to protect themselves emotionally. Understanding their need for independence and space is key to supporting them effectively.

So, I've experienced this twice, with two different bulls. They're hurt/sick etc, and they want to tell you all about it. But, I CARE about people (esp when they're my SO) and I want to FIX it when they tell me about it. But as soon as I offer its like 'no, nothing can be done anyway', fatalistic.. and won't even let me try. What is that all about? Why tell me if you won't let me help you?

I offered him a back rub. No go. 😢

I don't blame him too much, he has a migraine, so bad his skin hurts. Poor thing. Wish there WAS something I could do. Course.. that means I just found my new challenge. lol.

*starts researching*

A migraine? Why didn't you say so woman? Dark room, have him lean back into you gently, close his eyes, no distraction. Cool cloth on the back of his neck and lightly stroke the temples in a circular motion. Try not to jostle him in any way, remain completely still and cradle him. If it's a real whopper sleep is in order in a dark room, and some require a shot at hospital.

I don't like people when I have really bad headaches.. migraine would prb make me want to stab anyone that got close in the eye.. haha

note worthy though... acupressure works wonders.. I do it to myself if I've got a headache and I've done it to lots of others in the same case... every time bad ass results. You just have to know the right spots and have a feel for the right energy/pressure to apply to the spots..

And to further that, I've had surgeries, and I must tell you. The whining is non-existent. It is my pain to deal with, no one can touch it. I own it. When I am ill, and flat on my ass sick..this is how I get sick. Colds, mehhhh or 'other'. 'Other' is usually a sore throat one day, and then flat on my back. In any event, when that happens all I want to do is go down and hole up. Just be left to sleep it off. Now I may verbalize that I feel like three shades of manure, but ultimately that's my boat to paddle. I was deadly quiet in labor with all 3 of my children as well. Again, not a damned thing could touch it.
I wouldn't want to stab someone in the eye, or lash out really. I'd just ask to be left alone, and mentally wish they'd make sure I was still breathing from time to time..you know ..like they give a shit.
And on the other side of the fence, when someone is ill or in pain, I want to make them as comfortable as possible, that's just in me. A cold cloth for migraine can help at times, it constricts vessels and as you know with headache they are open wide.

Oh VB, I was using that word loosely. I didn't really think of it as whining per se, just that it was very confusing to me.. I wanted to help and he wouldn't let me. I guess if I would be better at choosing words I might say 'why wont he let me help him?' I'm sure he only told me about it because it was an explanation of why I couldn't see him that day. 😉

Das ist because taurus just wanna vent it out and trust me it might be annoying or scary or hilarious when they do let all their frustrations out, but it's better than bottling it up- it's the folks that bottle it all up that scare me more since you have no idea how they'll react when they can't bottle it up any longer than they have. So just sit back with your popcorn and let the bull blow off some steam 'just let it out baby just let it all out' that's all they want, oh and nice niblets to go with that as well- food porn please. Don't worry you won't get hurt in the course, just as long as you sit there with your popcorn looking supportive and don't forget to have a nice meal after, anything involving nice food would light up the taurus eyes- not with rage.

I disagree. I have a few bull lifelong bull friends and I haven't noticed any whining.
One of whom I have been friends since the age of 5 has Taurus in his Rising, Sun and Moon as well as a few other places and he doesn't whine at all. Ever. He's stubborn as hell though. LOL
Funny funny..
