I know we've all touched on this from time to time; especially the regular posters (ie, no life having folk 🙂 lol). Obviously, this may not be hard and fast across the board, because I'm sure someone will pop on and tell a horrific tale of their sister/cousin/dad/mother/friend who is a Taurus drama king/queen, but it seems to be a recurring theme within a lot of these posts and our advice that we issue to non-taurus folk when it comes to relationships, that we just prefer minimal drama.

My question is what is it in us that makes us detest drama? There are a multitude of signs who seem to encourage drama, yet, time and time again, we post on our distate for it. I don't think it's because we can't defend ourselves (definitely to the contrary), but I think it's the fact that we love beautiful surroundings, music, food, and any other things that signify peace and harmony. With that being said, why is it that Libras are a lot like us in the way that they love beautiful things, etc, but oftentimes Libras will be embroiled in TONS of drama, yet, they are supposed to be the ones who strive for balance (just using them as an example since I know a lot of Libras).

Any other thoughts?

The difference with Libra's is if they're "off balance" they become totally crazy, whereas Taurean's are more calm and relaxed about it 🙂 Libra's strive for balance because that's what makes them sane. They're very "middle-of- the-road" people. For example: they have both masculine and feminine qualities, in an argument they usually cannot take a side because they're too busy seeing both sides to that problem, and nor can they make up their minds about simple things.

I think it disrupts our mental peace. And it's amplified by plain common sense. i.e. "Why work yourself up over THAT? It's ridiculous." Also the scene created by such behavior engenders that 'ugh' reaction because it seems so low brow, tacky. Definitely without class to see some harridan shrieking over something so patently silly it borders on the manic. ( To a Taurus brain anyways... )

@ Delishhh, you are right about the balance, and that Libras DO have a problem making up their mind on anything!

@VB, yea, totally low brow and tacky. That's why when I was with my ex-Libra, we did have that in common, in that, we did NOT make scenes in public; not that we hardly fought at all or had disagreements, but if we did, it was NEVER in public. It seems so tacky to me, and I see it all the time, and it's (usually) women screaming and causing a scene, as if they are just embarassing themselves, and I want to say to them, "No honey, you are making an a $ $ outta' both of you!" It happened at my last Corporate gig - this chick found out her fiance (not husband, yeah, just wait for the story) was having an affair with someone he worked with. Mind you, we all worked together in different departments. Do you know what she did? She called him out in the center of our building where EVERYBODY could see, and cussed him out and everything, and I heard (although this I don't know for certain) that the other woman was going to put a restaining order against her for harrassing her. Now, don't get me wrong, the other woman knew his a $ $ was engaged, but for her to call her fiance out AT WORK like that in front of over 1200 people (cause you know the word spread like wildflower and people were watching from their windows). BUT, she still married his a $ $ . So to my point - WHAT THE F@CK did she do all of that for, when she had NO intentions of leaving, and all she reconfirmed is that she is pathetic (in my opinion, and not because she didn't leave him, but because she showed her a $ $ at her PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT).

LOL!! But I LOVE those cabinets just the way they are!

Oh no. That would have occurred at home, thank you very much. The marriage would not have taken place. Couldn't keep it in the drawers before the marriage, what in the hell makes anyone think a ring is going to matter? Oh man, I'd have called him everything but a white man before I told him to get the f**k OUT. As a matter of fact, if I discovered something like that I'd turn on my heel and walk out, because I would not have been able to control myself. Definitely the bomb blasts would have happened on home turf.

Six words: Women think they can change men!

I don't give men too much credit, but 75% of them KNOW they can NOT change their women; whereas, over 90% of women think/believe/hope they can change that man! *smh *

And my sentiments exactly, it's like, he's cheating on you with a woman that you BOTH WORK WITH, what the hell makes you think he's NOT going to continue doing that when you're married? But, she can hope against hope. And, as an aside, I am close friends with a guy who is sort of friendly with her husband, and honey, it only took him about 2 months for her to loosen her leash hold on him and he was out getting his "swerve on."

*smh* That's just flat out stupidity on her part. I don't care if the cho-cha is gold plated. A woman could be the most perfect one on the planet, but if someone is going to cheat, they're going too.
Hope is a beautiful thing, but realism needs to step in. I find her situation unacceptable. For me it would be. I'd have called 'done' as soon as the cheating was known to me. 'Awwwww, BABE, didja slip and fall into that?! Well here's the door hitting that ASS!"

Word, I said almost these exact same words when I was 16 years old (I knew it that early on). I said, it doesn't matter if you are: model beautiful, banging a $ $ body, wealthy, can cook, and pop out the most beautiful babies. If he's going to cheat - he's going to cheat. It's really THAT simple. It doesn't mean anything is wrong with the woman, it's all with that man. And, not to be sexist, so I'll say, women cheat too; no matter how "perfect" the guy is.

But, I'm always up front about my ish too, so there is no miscommunication or hurt feelings. That's one thing I bi# $ h at my male friends about, is that they will want their cake and eat it too. They will want to date tons of women, but don't want them to date other men. I say that's not fair, because they are taking away options from them by their not being honest about their actions.

I tend to throw everything into the context of a relationship, bypassing dating and the entire dance. Unsure as to why I do that exactly, but I do.


Don't worry VB, most women do this. Just because I date someone does NOT mean we are going to be in a relationship. Dating is just that; dating, it's testing the waters and seeing what's out there. Once you've gone out for a minute, you can decide if you want to move to the next level or if they should go on their merry way, and you on yours. Just because I go out with someone a few times doesn't mean I'm in a relationship. Also, I make the guy ask me to be his lady & be exclusive. Initially guys think that's funny and "quirky" about me. I tell them straight up, "I want you to ask, so there is never any doubt, and if I see you out with somebody else, you can't say 'Aw, I never asked you to be my lady, I thought we were just dating.' It saves us both embarrassment." Guys will try anything, but I cut their a $ $ es off at the pass! Ha!

I detest it and avoid it like the plagueeeee! Yuuuuughhhhk LoL

For me it's mostly like VB said, "Why work yourself up over THAT?"

Correction... it's exactly what I think. But it's not even that I
consciously think it, it's just the way I'm wired. Like 99.9% of
other people's dramas seem pathetic to me. Keep in mind, their
"DRAMA's" not their actual valid problems... which o_O usually they
don't really have.. so maybe that's why they create drama lmao
*sigh* I'm so insightful 😛

I agree with everyone else.
I hate drama,it's tacky,childish and ridiculous.I occasionally get a kick out of watching a drama queen or king at work,because they have no idea how stupid they look.but if I am receiving drama on a regular basis from someone,they will have to be removed from my life.I have however over the last few years, begun to help drama queens in their effort,by laughing at them.sometimes you just can't help it,it's funny stuff to see someone so out of control....and it seems to really piss them off even more,so I'm happy to help.
life is so much easier when you don't sweat the small stuff,and when it's big stuff,just deal with it, ffs.
why make a big production of everything?

"Drama has never followed me for too long. As a Taurus sun/Taurus mooner I'm a pretty pleasant person to be around. I'm polite to even those who I don't like. My mommy taught me manners. But if I bring back gifts for everyone minus you... well then you know I'm not your friend(most likely for good reason) You do me dirty, you'll know I know you did me dirty so can you blame me?? But if you ask me for help, I have no problem helping you. I'm not grudge bearing with those who I don't care about. Beware, I say no pretty easily though... but never in a bitchy way 🙂"

Yeppers! I'm a Taurus sun and moon too, so I get exactly what you are saying. I can completely detest someone, but if I have to work with them, I won't sabotage anything (hello, my NAME is on that ish too), but I am not going to have drinks with them or play "nice" it's a damn job and I take that seriously! Also, I have no problem saying no either; much to my many peoples chagrin. I don't have to do ish I don't want to do...and I don't. The only person that can (sort of) guilt me into doing something I don't want to do is my mom, but that's only because of respect; otherwise, "No" can flow out of my mouth like wine flows France! LOL!

@Bella - yeah, sometimes it's a bit funny to hear a LITTLE bit of someone elses drama, but quite honestly, I've had to tell a couple of my friends that I don't want to hear it anymore. It's funny, because I really don't like gossip. For me, a little bit goes a long a $ $ way. It's counter productive, and doesn't help anybody!

yeah,I can only stand a little...at a distance.never up close in my face.
I DETEST gossip.I have actually offended women,because I act so non interested in their gossip.if they keep talking,I make an excuse to get up and walk away.if they do it to others,they'll do it to you...which is a good thing about being the private Taurus. 😉

Yup! I feel the exact same way, I'm like "if you are talking this much ish about your 'friend' what the hell do you say about me when I'm not around; and/or are you telling all of my damn business too!" Also, if I say something about a friend, you can damn sure know I will and have said it to their face. For instance, one of my (Scorpio gf's) is a MAJOR DQ (drama queen), and she's nosey too, but guess what I tell her to her face she's a nosey drama queen and she just laughs! She'll pass by Dairy Queen and say, "Oh, look, those are my initials!" LOL!

My question is what is it in us that makes us detest drama?







it makes me feel emotionally ill/exhausted when i'm confronted with drama that i didn't create. i think the problem has to do with the fact that it's outside of our control. it's another person's feelings/emotions/issues and frankly, if there's no solid basis for the drama itself, what do they really want us to do with it? empathize? i don't empathize with stupidity. it's annoying and it's a waste of my time.
