Taurus, as a friend...

I have embarked on a series of assessments of my friends. Altogether, there are twelve (I hadn't realized there were so many!), four of whom are Taurus. This is more for me than it is for you, of course. Feel free to add as necessary. 🙂


Cons: Yikes. 😛 These folks have heads made of cement. One way is all they know, and that is THEIR way! The only reason that sucks is because they can be stubborn about the wrong things, and put themselves at a disadvantage. Also, clingy. For some reason, they have a terrible habit of clinging to people who do not have their best interest at heart. And being a Taurus, it takes several years of mistreatment before they decide to finally...FINALLY, let go.

Also, they can sometimes momentarily forget to be sensitive to the needs of others. As the bestfriend of a Taurus, I can unfortunately say that I rarely open up to her about issues that upset me. She has a tendency to be dismissive of my feelings, or laugh them off as though they're trivial.


Pros: A funny thing is that their weakness are also their greatest strength. When I say I love my Taureans, I mean it. I've fought for them, literally, and will do so in a heartbeat if I sense they're being threatened. Why? Well, because if by chance I had no one else to depend on....I can say with total confidence that my bulls would still stand. Reliable just doesn't sum it up well enough. They're an immovable and/or unstoppable force when they choose to be.

I'd like to add that these people give some of the best advice you can find.

weakness are = weakness is

Being a Taurus, I can definitely say I would fight tooth and nail for the friends that are close to me. Even if I know my friend is in the wrong, I will defend that friend till no end. I definately admit to being guilty of each Con you mentioned. We love our friends and can sometimes seem clingy, mistreatment results in me cutting you as a friend however. I am stubborn in that sense, but friendships are easily rekindled by simply making friendly contact. easily angered, easily forgotten, easily forgiven.

Ironically the best friend I ever had was a Taurus as well. We were an inseparable pair and we did almost everything together. We were 2 chatterboxes and we would just laugh and play 24/7 and it just never ended. We always had something to talk about and always had something to do. despite our age, we acted like children

I never smiled so much in my entire life. If I needed her, was there in a heartbeat and vise versa. We stuck by each other through thick and thin. I would not hesitate to say that those were the greatest days of my life... Unfortunately we had a bit of a falling out, and I never saw that Taurus girl again.

Us Taurus are definitely lovable creatures, so don't take us for granted. =)

My Cap best friend once told me she was proud to be my friend as I have very few people I class as friends, and she felt honoured that I'd chosen to be friends with her. That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!

I am stubborn, as I always think I'm right. The worst thing people can do is get really angry about it, as I'll just dig my heels in and refuse to move. If they are nice about it, I'm much more likely to go with their plan. I don't want to face the humiliation of backing down, so by people calmly explaining how another way is better, I don't feel stupid backing down. Shouting in my face about it is not the way to go. I'll cut my nose off to spite my face sometimes, not a trait I'm proud of.

My Taurus friend is always there for me. No matter where he is, on holiday, at work, if I need him for anything, he straight replies back and always makes me feel better about the situation and myself. I love him to pieces, we've been friends since we were 9.

no i agree with years

lol ok...guilty as charged.

And yeah sometimes it takes me years to let something go, but if in the end I can say I learned something valuable from it I dont take it as a loss. And Merc is right about defusing the Taurus. Im generous with the kindness when Im expressing my opinions and you should be too...should you fail to do so things could get pretty ugly! Male Caps are really good at getting me to admit Im wrong and Cancers too, male and female. They're just so sweet and factual.

pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.

HAP

on the subject of friendship.... i'd do anything for my friends. I've actually gone wayyyyy out of my friends my best gf. she was once upset and needed me with her and i litterally left my house got on a train, then paid $ 5 for a bus ride into staten island (which is actually very far from me). i honestly give so much of myself to my friends, i cant help it. i dont like letting people down and i cant just stand there and let my friends wallow in there sadness. i guess its my earthy nature, but i have to be there for the ones i love or how could they possably know i love them?

I'd agree my biggest strength is probably my greatest weakness, but wasnt it some great leader who said turn ur weakness into ur strength, therefore you would never be weak—

""sometimes, that big problem you had over time becomes trivial.""

doesn't matter. a friend is there to listen regardless. i should be able to go to her if i need to let something off my chest, so to speak. i'm the first person she rings when matters (that some might call trivial) upset her, and as a friend, it should be reciprocated at least once in a while. is that too much to ask?


""also, a taurus doesn't like to help ppl wallow in their own self-pity, for numerous reasons.""

expessing one's feelings does not necessarily imply throwing a pity party. there's absolutely nothing wrong or unhealthy about the former.

yea, cassandra summed it up perfectly.

""She doesn't care about her boyfriends needs.""

Oh? My friends aren't like that at all.
