Do you like a challenge?

dear bulls and bullettes,

in your fixed nature, do you enjoy a challenge or does the thought of effort exhaust you?

do you guys continue to try to convince others that you are right if you first don't succeed? or do you silently revel in knowing you are correct even if others disagree?

how important is it to you that people agree with you?

For me personally not sure about the other fellow bulls, I like a challenge only if it has a valuable reward in the end. For example, I'm going to bust my butt at work to get that raise. If it's for a guy, I tend to show a lot of what I have to offer as a potential gf after they have made me comfortable enough & gained my trust enough. The challenge in that is finding out what they really want/need in a gf. If I somewhat fit that description, then I'll slowly go in for the kill and show them what I got.

I hate to admit when I'm wrong, that's for sure which is why I am stubborn AF. However, if I am wrong in something and enough logic and facts has been presented to the table, then yes, I will apologize and will do my best to make up for my actions.

I'm a very carefree person, so I don't need people to always agree with me. When I talk or type, I may come across as mean or too passionate with my opinion, etc. However, at the end of the day, people in my life are going to do what they want anyways, so I'll give them my two cents, and if you choose to not agree and do what you wanted anyways, then so be it. It's your choice, your life. As long as I get the same treatment, it's all good.

Thanks for your responses. Interesting stuff!

I don't try. I like what I like, he likes what he likes and that is okay with me.

But I wonder is he will keep trying to bring me over to his side when it comes to his taste in things?

It depends of the challenge. I have challenges I simply throw myself into them with a passion and aggression that you'd think I'm crazy haha --> but I'm a Taurus that has a little bit of fire in me 🙂

The ones that exhaust me are the challenges that usually tend to affect my life. The real challenges! And they exhaust me because my mind processes things in a very wide angle way. I see challenge in all it's complexion in a first go and in my mind it becomes this huge monster that becomes bigger and bigger and bigger. When you'll notice a Taurus STUCK on being anal about details and constantly becoming more and more hysterical about perfection and all sorts of crazy details no one can sometimes notice, be aware that you're dealing with a Taurus at the end of their rope.

When we become more and more burdened by a challenge we slowly can be at risk at becoming STUCK. VERY STUCK. Help that Taurus! Because it will take him/her a long time to be able to get themselves OUT of their stuckness - and trust me, it's not even a place we want to end up; we simply don't know how to escape it!

And let's just get to the matter of things: FEAR is what makes us crazy and fixed and stubborn and stuck most of the times. It's fear of failure. Like for everybody else 🙂

"how important is it to you that people agree with you? "

It depends. If I managed to hit the emotional level and my morale is VERY low, I also need someone to agree with me in the sort of supporting me emotionally. Or say at least that you can also see my perspective, but gently try to tell me your perspective too as I might see the light of it or mule over it while in bed until I go to sleep.

Challenges usually are those moments when in one way or the other you'd find yourself ALONE. Because usually, even if you're in a relationship or not, challenges are something everybody has to deal with themselves actually.

"do you guys continue to try to convince others that you are right if you first don't succeed? or do you silently revel in knowing you are correct even if others disagree? "

Both! 🙂 If point 1 is not valid anymore in the reality, then point 2 does it for us nevertheless 🙂 ---> yeah, we're stubborn 😢 I'm sorry *hugs*

dear bulls and bullettes,

As an aries rising and 1st house sun, I do enjoy a challenge. Sometimes for the hell of it. Other times, it isn't worth. It's a little tough to discern when I'm up for one or not. It just happens.

do you guys continue to try to convince others that you are right if you first don't succeed? or do you silently revel in knowing you are correct even if others disagree?

I will try a couple of times, sure. When it hits me that it's a waste of time, I'll stop. As long as I got my point across, it's a small victory.

Oftentimes, it isn't about being right, so much as being understood.

important is it to you that people agree with you?

Like I said, being understood is more important to me than being right. I don't need prole to agree with me. I'm actually fine if they don't. No skin off my nose. But before they do disagree, I'd like to them you to understand. If they still do afterwards, is it what it is and I move on.

I do have to say though, I enjoy being right, proving that I am right, yet people will still disagree with me (for whatever reason), let them be, be proven right eventually and ultimately say: "I told you so". With my eyes not words.

Petty, sure. But oh so sweet.

"Like I said, being understood is more important to me than being right. "

I agree with this too! This is what's it's of utmost importance for me in life actually. It's not "being right" for the sake of it.

Also don't be afraid to offer solutions or gently point out "flaws in the system". Taurus people are actually very logical and rational. We do hear you and if you access our rationality level be sure we will take notes. Personally when I'm stuck with a challenge I'm happy to get solutions from other people. Especially because I know I'm fixed and maybe there's a perspective that I'm actually not able to see! My sister is a Gemini and I always found it helpful to talk to her (sometimes) because it's the sort of brainstorming that actually helps me. And even if she doesn't give me a solution per se, seeing her try or simply talking about it might actually generate from deep inside of me a perspective I wouldn't have been able to figure it out myself!

I don't think Taurus people are arrogant. I personally am not. We value more getting the job done and finding the solution, than having ego wars as who came with what idea and why didn't i come with bullshit 🙂 That's why compared to Aries people for example WE DO BELIEVE IN TEAM WORK! And team mindset! We're "socialists" like that 😛

to me it's not important if others don't agree - as a matter of fact most people do not agree with me but come back a year later and tell me I was right ... I knew I was right from the get go but when others don't see it that way then it left me wondering in my early years ... until I saw how often they come back around just to tell me, thank me, whatever, I was right all along - but I don't push it on people ... and that's not to say "always" ... I'm sure I have been wrong - at least once - LOL !

lol I am sure he is @jeane - with him especially being a Taurus - we like what we like and we want what we like around us so he is trying to convince you to have his taste lol

that is crystal clear !

continue with the "everyone is different" and that he has to learn to compromise and that sometimes he might like your style and sometimes you might like his style ... it all works out evenly in the end - pretty much I guess if you want to keep score ...

About this: my Gemini sister lately called me to give her advice. She started the conversation: "Now give it to me because I know you're a realist and you say things the way they are! And I need this right now."

A couple of years ago she'd say I'm a negative person hahaha. It was just a matter of perception really. Because all my advice might have been interpreted as negative, but it was actually still just realist lol. It just happened that her situations were really shitty lol So therefore the advices weren't so very upbeat and optimistic lololol

lol that is me too - sugarcoating stuff makes you fat - lol - yeah, I am into reality and I will call your donkey out on it if I think you can or want to take it - if not - caoi~ because you are right - they are going to do what they want to do anyway ... you can't take a shitty situation and make it smell like a rose - that is not realistic

Oh! But this is so easy! Hahaha! I can't believe the "philosophical" responses I gave until this point hahaha.

Um. Ok, Tastes 🙂

"He'll try to convince me to like what he does."

If i'd do that with you is because I'd really really REALLY love to have this in common 🙂 Sharing is caring and same tastes and being fan of some things together it's like heaven for me! 😄 I absolutely LOVE to have someone to be able to geek out with and that would "get me" 🙂 And maybe that's what he's trying to do with you!

"But I wonder is he will keep trying to bring me over to his side when it comes to his taste in things? "

It depends how sensitive he is.

Example: I had a best friend when I was younger. She was an Aries. Until this day I will never forgive her the fact that she simply didn't want to like something that I liked too. While I was a fan together with her for her and her interests. At one point it just started to feel hurtful and it started to make me feel cold towards her and like we don't really click that well.

And truth be told be didn't lol! But that was my situation with that person lololol.

--> also, my god, Aries people... Just... yeah...

Definitely no need to apologise! Your post was incredibly helpful. More than you realise - thank you. A lot of it sounds very familiar. You've articulated his perspective very well I think!

I don't mind that that is his is process. I smile and nod, give him hug and accept that he feels the way he does. He can do (practically) no wrong in my eyes.

I like the philosophical stuff! If it doesn't directly relate to my initial question, you're going to be sure that it will relate to something else.

I like hearing from you guys. It makes me love him better.

I kind of wonder if he will think that we don't click if I don't like the same food he does or like the same music.

I will eat and listen to those things because he likes it and we can enjoy it together it just won't be my favourite. I am willing to come to his side of things to have the shared experience but I wonder does it hurt him that I am not a carbon copy?

Really, all the things I mean are insignificant! The big stuff we agree on but trying to decide on a wall colour is just murder....:p (He likes white and I prefer anything but!)

it really depends on what the challenge is. i most certainly like a challenge here and there. when it comes down to trying to change a person's opinion on something though, i don't really try to change their mind on it per se. i tend to just state my opinion on it, and it's really up to them to agree or disagree. i'm ok with people disagreeing with me, that's going to happen no matter what, so it's not that important to me.

what's important to me is that my opinion is stated and they know what it is if they ever ask.

But the difference is Libraurus, if you both liked the exact same things, wouldn't it be boring?

I think its great if two people like different things but are willing to try the different things that each other likes? It's the differences in two people which makes their relationship exciting.. Too much of the same would be staid. Stick to what you like and try and get him to like what you like! Hahahaha. Tauruses I feel like to have things too comfortable and too much their own way... It's good for them to experience different energies to get them out of their comfort zone... 😄

Your energies will obviously be slightly different as you are air and he is earth...

click to expand

You're right. He likes comfortable and known. I like different and exciting. He likes traditional food and what he has eaten before, I want to try all different cuisines and eat things I've never tried before! He wants to watch the same film over and over again and I moan that life is too short because I'll never get to watch everything! Even how we would landscape the garden is completely opposite.

Like I said, it doesn't bother me. I enjoy that he is so different to me.

If i'd do that with you is because I'd really really REALLY love to have this in common 🙂 Sharing is caring and same tastes and being fan of some things together it's like heaven for me! 😄 I absolutely LOVE to have someone to be able to geek out with and that would "get me" 🙂 And maybe that's what he's trying to do with you!

"But I wonder is he will keep trying to bring me over to his side when it comes to his taste in things? "

It depends how sensitive he is.

Example: I had a best friend when I was younger. She was an Aries. Until this day I will never forgive her the fact that she simply didn't want to like something that I liked too. While I was a fan together with her for her and her interests. At one point it just started to feel hurtful and it started to make me feel cold towards her and like we don't really click that well.

And truth be told be didn't lol! But that was my situation with that person lololol.

--> also, my god, Aries people... Just... yeah...

I like the philosophical stuff! If it doesn't directly relate to my initial question, you're going to be sure that it will relate to something else.

I like hearing from you guys. It makes me love him better.

I kind of wonder if he will think that we don't click if I don't like the same food he does or like the same music.

I will eat and listen to those things because he likes it and we can enjoy it together it just won't be my favourite. I am willing to come to his side of things to have the shared experience but I wonder does it hurt him that I am not a carbon copy?

Really, all the things I mean are insignificant! The big stuff we agree on but trying to decide on a wall colour is just murder....:p (He likes white and I prefer anything but!)

Thanks for your responses. Interesting stuff!

For a bit of background, my guy and I often bicker over matters of taste. It seems we are complete opposites.

He'll try to convince me to like what he does.

I don't try. I like what I like, he likes what he likes and that is okay with me.

But I wonder is he will keep trying to bring me over to his side when it comes to his taste in things?

Oh! But this is so easy! Hahaha! I can't believe the "philosophical" responses I gave until this point hahaha.

But the difference is Libraurus, if you both liked the exact same things, wouldn't it be boring?

I think its great if two people like different things but are willing to try the different things that each other likes? It's the differences in two people which makes their relationship exciting.. Too much of the same would be staid. Stick to what you like and try and get him to like what you like! Hahahaha. Tauruses I feel like to have things too comfortable and too much their own way... It's good for them to experience different energies to get them out of their comfort zone... 😄

Your energies will obviously be slightly different as you are air and he is earth...

You're right. He likes comfortable and known. I like different and exciting. He likes traditional food and what he has eaten before, I want to try all different cuisines and eat things I've never tried before! He wants to watch the same film over and over again and I moan that life is too short because I'll never get to watch everything! Even how we would landscape the garden is completely opposite.

Like I said, it doesn't bother me. I enjoy that he is so different to me.

Bloody hell.. You sound like me!!hahahaha

But he has a sag moon. Don't sags like trying different cultural foods etc??

You would have thought so! He's afraid that if he orders something and doesn't like it that it will be a waste of both money and food. Oh Taurus!! 😄

He is 3rd...lol.

Still, you seem to have him down!

in your fixed nature, do you enjoy a challenge or does the thought of effort exhaust you?

In relationships,

I have a Venus in Aries, so I do prefer a short-term challenge, but not a long term challenge. The effort does indeed exhaust me. Resentment grows, and it's downhill from there. I'm no longer in the same space with you.

In a work setting....I prefer a long term challenge. I'm an adrenaline junkie in that aspect.

do you guys continue to try to convince others that you are right if you first don't succeed? or do you silently revel in knowing you are correct even if others disagree?

I silently revel in knowing that I am correct even if others disagree. I watch them swim in their own vomit.

But surprisingly, I'm quite reticent when this happens. I never gloat believe it or not, nor do I say I told you so.

how important is it to you that people agree with you?

Somewhat important, but not that important.Everything I do is for their benefit, or to benefit both parties as a whole. If they can't see it my way, they will learn the hard way, soon enough.

i LOOOOVE challenges, but i hate to lose so i basically fake being uninteressed if i know my chances to win are low Lol

I like a challenge and a good debate or I will simply get bored (blame my Jupiter in gem in 12th house).

I will only try to convince others if it is of logical sense and I have something to back-up my claims or if the other person has proved that their way is better etc.

I am fixed, stubborn and a sore loser so I hate to lose but it depends on who my opponent is... If it's me and my bull... Well I know he will out run me in the stubborn stakes.. So I will make point of view heard then then waive a white flag... Lol lol

If it is anyone else, I am prepared to roll my sleeves up and fight dirty if I have to (metaphorically speaking of course! 😉)

Maybe, but he clearly loves you for who you are, so I wouldn't worry about it. Many Taureans do prefer friends and loves who easily agree with them. This is fundamental. I know I prefer it. I don't mind a different opinion from mine or occasionally debating a point, but if it's incessant, I find it and the relationship exhausting. Agreement is just more pleasant and Taurus loves pleasure.

Also don't be afraid to offer solutions or gently point out "flaws in the system". Taurus people are actually very logical and rational. We do hear you and if you access our rationality level be sure we will take notes. Personally when I'm stuck with a challenge I'm happy to get solutions from other people. Especially because I know I'm fixed and maybe there's a perspective that I'm actually not able to see! My sister is a Gemini and I always found it helpful to talk to her (sometimes) because it's the sort of brainstorming that actually helps me. And even if she doesn't give me a solution per se, seeing her try or simply talking about it might actually generate from deep inside of me a perspective I wouldn't have been able to figure it out myself!

I don't think Taurus people are arrogant. I personally am not. We value more getting the job done and finding the solution, than having ego wars as who came with what idea and why didn't i come with bullshit 🙂 That's why compared to Aries people for example WE DO BELIEVE IN TEAM WORK! And team mindset! We're "socialists" like that 😛
