I realized (since a very long time) that I do not easily make good or worthwhile friendships.. Not that I am not trying, I do try. But the problem is that I find myself ending up being lied to, betrayed, ignored, used by ppl whom I thought are close friends. And I truly have no idea why it ends like that. Now I only have very few whom I can call bestfriends and even very few good friends.

I realize a few taurus ppl in my life (including my taurus bestfriend) have very few friends too.

Is that a Taurus thing? Or is there something that I'm blind to...

Would like your input ppl and tell me your sun signs too pls? Thanks

I think you have high expectations of people. There's nothing wrong with that either.
I thought it's bad luck with ppl

But wht u said could be true..
I'm just thinking back about that relationship you have/had with that guy. You were holding him to very high standards if I remember correctly.

Taurus expect consistency, and for you to do what you say you are going to do.

I was with a Taurus for 15 years and observed a lot of his behaviors with friends. He was all about having only a few friends, not many.

One of my best friends is also a Taurus, she calls me daily. She also only has a few friends. She does have high expectations. Things that bother her or my ex wouldn't bother me.

She has bad luck in that she said she can never trust any friends or that they end up jealous of her (I don't know the truth to this in all cases, as we've been friends for 3 years and she's only stopped talking to one friend...and I don't think that was a matter of the girl being jealous of her in my opinion, although she believed so.) My ex simply wouldn't bring his wall down when it came to allowing people in his world and could not understand how I did.

Neither have an easy time bringing their walls down. I find that to be a common theme among most that I know. My Aunt also has little friends she holds dear to her heart.

However, I do know one Taurus who is way more social than I am. She is married to a Sag, was in a sorority, and loves calling everyone her "bestie."

I don't let very many ppl into my inner circle, I have a few close friends and then I have ppl I socialize with but I'm very private and selective about who I let get in that inner circle. And we're loyal ppl in general - I'll go to the ends of the earth for the ppl I love, that means I need to be choosy about who I love.
I get you... I just wish others understand how loyal taureans are.. I would move mountains for a good friend but they dont do the least ...

The Taurus peeps who like me tend to have more water and earth. That particular Taurus said she looked up to me. But she is seriously more social than I am (I'm a libra.) It's too much for even me. So makes sense she is with one... Although I am with one too and let's just say I cannot imagine a Taurus with a Sag together knowing what I know about all the Taurus and Sag I know. lol

But hey it could happen.

My Taurus BFF doesn't have many close friends either. She used to but overtime some of her friends fell at the wayside. Now she's always complaining she has no friends & no one to go places with her
What do you think caused her to be with no friends?

Some got into relationships & don't seem to make the time for her anymore. Another friend moved. She complains a lot about it. She has become a Debbie downer but I still love her lol

I'm Taurus moon and I have very few friends.

It's more due to my nature - I've realized I do expect a level of understanding from friendships and it takes a lot for me to vibe with people who are not on the same 'wavelength'. This keeps my circle small.

I have had Taurus friends in the past. I just don't think we see eye to eye. I find Taurus to be very self centered (not necessarily selfish) and for me it's hard to have a friendship w them. I've learned it takes a lot for me to be friends with someone.

Uh well ... I am turning into one. I tend to be in denial about my social life being a wreck lol just not to fall into the dark thoughts.. Let's say I was even unsure about putting up that post.. Cause then I am admitting my weakness .. Sigh

And yeh the best friends in my life are either married/in relationship or moved to another country.. Thats why i feel lonely.. Dont know whom I can go out n have fun with anymore (like ur friend said). I dont remember neglecting my friends whn i was in a relationship ... But many ppl do... It just doesnt make sense to me

May I know your sun sign? My gemini friend has taurus moon and I always wondered how could be a gemini and not have a vibrant social life (talk about generalizing...but I always had that image in my head) .. Taurus placements have a big impact it seems ..

Yes she feels lonely & wants to go out more but she's also a loner & very stubborn in her ways. She's not the type to be neglectful to friends while in a relationship. Then again, she's only been in one, a long one though. She's mentioned looking for friends on websites but she's not sure if they're real or not .

Huh. Taurus? I don't think so. Lol

In my part I find taurus are the ones who is going to betray..

Come on darling, let's be real here.

If someone is going to betray me.

1. I can handle.

2. I will pretend I dont know about betrayal.

3. Get close to that person..the closer I get the more guilty that person feels.

4. Let that person know you are not the person deserves that betrayal - just be kind regardless.

5. I only promise myself..I will walk once in their life and never again. I just show kindness regardless of what was said and done.

Did I applied all of those above? Yes.

Even at workplace. Friends(but take note I dropped that person like a hot potato in my plate without that person knowledge)

Can you handle people's BS?

If your answer is No. Then you cannot handle your Bs too. It is just a reflection of yourself.

Yeh kill them with kindness lol ... I could never really do otherwise .. Cause those who betrayed me were always the closest ppl .. And I couldnt do anything about it cause I get confused .. Are we friends or enemies? I always thought we "are" friends so I end up treating them the same way as a friend would do, I never thought of being sneaky or vengeful I just do what I know and then become distant (which is what the heart wants).

I'm Scorp sun 🙂

To me, gems come in the most shapes and sizes of the zodiac- but they all have similarities. I know a gem sun cap moon from work. He doesn't speak to many people and is more of a toned down gem

Hmm. I have tons of aquaintances, but few very close friends. Since my closest friends are air signs, I meet a lot of people through them, but I'm not like them and often don't include all the people I meet into my inner circle.

I wonder if Taurus likes to be a big fish in a small pond? Maybe we prefer a few really good friends we can rely upon to a lot of casual friends who may take more than they give back? I'm also very close with family memebers and count many as my closest friends as well. I'm a Tau Sun and Asc too. Doubly slammed.

It doesn't bother me to have few friends, if they're the right ones, that's all you need.

Yeah that may be true but Taurus have selective friendships because of what we have been through kinda leaves a bitter taste in their mouth. And usually a taurus treats people right off the bat like they should be treated as if that's how you want to be treated.

Problem with this is I get asked regularly to chill outside but I'm more like a homebody that would throw some meat on a grill and tell you to come over. Then go out for some fun afterwards.

A taurus is selective but once they find a close knit group of friends and they trust you. Then you'll see a taurus if not we stay home and reschedule events til we feel better.

I'm wondering if Taurus moon and Taurus sun people know what it is to vibe well with as friendship. I build friendships from jump but close small groups.
