Stubborn versus sulking.

Is Taurean Behavior More Stubbornness or Sulking

Taureans often display stubbornness as a way to maintain stability, but they may also sulk when hurt or frustrated. Recognizing the difference helps understand their reactions better. Stubbornness is persistent, while sulking involves withdrawal. Both stem from their need for security and comfort.

I can do both. If I'm making some sort of noise all is well, if I'm silent, that means I'm broody. Broody can zip right off into full on pout. Usually I know I'm being a horses arse and will remove m'self to do something requiring physical ( scrubbing or baking come to mind..) If it's perfectly justified I will stew in full view of the object of my ire. What I'm really wanting is an admission of the OTHER party being a sphincterous Rex. An apology for affront. Yes, it's childish, and yes, I've done it.

Yeah, I was going to say what's already been said. They do both. Sometimes sulking sometimes just being stubborn 😛 Depends on the topic and their mood. Heh, I don't get why they say Taurus has no emotions. Quit pretending you don't silly bulls. I see through it.

famous Taurean stubbornness... LOL

The famous Taurean that was responsible of the deaths of thousands, that faithful Sept. 11, 2001, was finally killed.

Stubbornness... he lives by it.

Funny right?

My stubbornness and sulking are not mutually inclusive.
They are two separate facets of my being,that rarely show up at the same time.although one will sometimes follow the other 😛

It could be that stubborness is the taurus brand of sulking. Just as
Vindictiveness for scorps
Silence for cancers
Sarcasm for geminis
Playing martyr "everyone feel bad 4 me" for pisces
Getting even for virgos
So forth?

Taurus' can throw some of the biggest tantrums I'v ever seen!

They hate not getting their way, period. And if they have to be stubborn or sulk for 30 minutes just to make the other person feel like shxt for saying "NO," they'll do what they gotta do

Even when Taurus is in the wrong or has no right to be mad, they still may go into their shell & the selfishness in them comes out.

I've noticed that Taurus' don't actually start sulking unless they genuinely feel that they've been denied something that they believe they deserve. And in that case, yes there's a difference b/w them being stubborn vs. them sulking. Sometimes they do BOTH at the same time. Ugh, it drives me insane!

Mmmmhmmm. 😄 Strong sign would laugh and say 'Suck it up princess'. Then the other would get even more irate, perhaps even blow up a bit, and then guess where it would wind up? Oh yeh. 😈 Such therapy is so very good for the soul...
