Is it normal for a taurus to constantly accuse someone else (me) of arguing? Like, he expects me to see things his way. If I don't and explain why, I'm arguing and it's sickening.

Do bulls always expect their friends to go along with how they view things, and what they think? I seem to have encountered this problem A LOT with Virgo's. What with their criticisms, unsolicited advice, and them thinking something is wrong with you if you have a different opinion. But Taurus too?

It actually makes me pretty sad because I feel this kind of thing is putting a strain on our friendship.

What you've described are some of the signs of narcissism. That doesn't mean that the Taurus is a narcissist, but he may be unable to see his own faults. This is also not a trait that is specific to any particular sign.

That being said, I used to work with a narcissistic Taurus woman. She was extremely stubborn and caused a lot of problems among our staff. When confronted she would always blamed everyone else for issues that were created by her own actions.

@Chuckcem,

I wouldn't describe her behavior as narcissistic, but stubborn, inflexible and unyeilding.

This is more of a 'fixed' sign dilemma.

Leos included 😉

People with a narcissistic personality disorder tend to have an inflated sense of self importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy from others.

I don't think this is the case with this Bull here.

I had this issue when I was younger, this inflexibility to work with other people.

This didn't stem from some grandioso feeling, but more like frustration that lead to resentment.

I had a dichotomous approach to meeting objectives, a linear, dogmatic system that produced results.

As long as I produced, I never felt that I was doing anything wrong.

My co-workers in the past were put off by this.

But this 'one woman' attitude stemmed from being let down by other people in the past, and being compelled to step up and 'fix' things and 'clean' up the mess.

So to prevent this from happening, I just took over.

This doesn't make it OK.

I had to learn to understand my flaws, and work on it.

I have a Gem Moon, so becoming more fluid wasn't as challenging as I thought it was.

Currently I'm self employed.

I am more laid back and easy going with the clients.

As for Bulls accepting other people's opinions (friendship, relationships), this will vary depending on the placements.

I'm an air dominated Bull, I take people as they are. My friends may be completely totally different from each other, but they will never be fake. Have your own opinion, have yur own identity, but please be unapologetic for it.

However I do know some Bulls who refuse to accept other people's opinions. The need to always be right. My Taurus brother is like this. Funny, he's usually right, but the overbearing approach he takes to proving that he's right can be a bit annoying. When he is met with an alternative opinion, then it becomes WWIII...LMAO!



I love him anyway....😉

Right, I generally don't look to label people as narcissists. The part that stuck out to me was OP's claim that this guy accuses other people of constantly arguing with him. That part me struck me as more manipulative rather than stubborn.
