Taureans...do you enjoy your solitude?

As long as I have my iTunes/iHeart playing I'm in the zone. I can make all kinds of plans in my head, along with my many other thoughts that come on thru. At work, it irks me sometimes when people want to come in my ofc and chit chat. Will you please leave me alone so I can do my thing? No I don't want to discuss what you had for lunch or if you think it was interesting or not. This isn't all the time tho...just more often than not 😛 I can't really do this to my kids too much lol but I can get peeved with them too. I do enjoy my quiet moments....wonder if this has anything to do with the cold-and-distant-complaint that many have about us? And I would rather shop alone, exercise alone and even eat alone at times, especially if I have a good book. My friends all want to be chained at the hip, let's do this/that, even go to the rr together? What are we, in high school?

Am I being anti-social or is this a normal thing for us?

Yesssss. The only time I don't feel this AS MUCH because I still do, is when I'm attracted to someone. Otherwise, whatever to everybody else. I'd rather observe than participate, especially since I'm not sure I want to contribute and if I do, I won't continue if things are derailed or I've decided that someone is being an idiot and as such, is simply not worth it. 😆

I live for these moments. Planning my next moves, immersing myself fully in whatever I'm doing without having to worry about anyone else with me.

Even while socializing I keep my distance, I'm here with you and everyone else but within my own confines, under my own terms. Like there's an invisible force field permeating around me - Bish don't kill my vibe.

I guess its about keeping myself under control in unpredictable environments and its effects on me.

Well said. And ppl generally think I'm standoffish/rude because I don't want to 'go with their flow'. Just leave me alone - I'm thinking!

Yes I do. I am very comfortable with my own company. Value it in fact. It's my time to recharge and be at peace. Whether it's grubbing in the garden, tramping through the woods or simply doing needlework while music plays. Zen for this woman.

My male co-worker (Aquarius) just transferred overseas but I used to get really annoyed with him bcuz I felt like he invaded my bubble. My office has a glass window and if I didn't acknowledge him or smile each time he passed by, there he was -- what's wrong? U mad? I'm thinkin really dude!? Urgggg he was super sensitive and couldn't understand

*barges in, interrupts everyone's silence*

But yes, I do get where you folks come from. Moments like that...the world literally stops around me, there's no sound, touch..hell I cannot even see. I'm all tuned in myself.

Yes I love my solitude. I can imagine two Taurus in a relationship together in silence 😄

Comfy. 😄

Oh yeah.. I've been like that ever since I can remember.. Even when I was really young I would always be off on my own.

To the point that anytime we had a family outing, Or even went anywhere. My dad would always say the same thing before everyone got out of the vehicle.. "TaurGuy, stay with the family" lol

That's funny. When I was little Dad was talking to some fellow and told me to stay close. We were on a pier in Cali. He turned away and apparently the sea was calling. Ploop! One little Cow swimming down down amidst the seaweed. He was terrified and 'saved' me. I was on an adventure.

Jeez, I don't just enjoy it, I absolutely need it. I actually get annoyed when my roommates knock on my door to invite me to do something or follow me around the house to make chit-chat. I find myself obliging simply to not appear anti-social and crusty, when in fact I'd just prefer to stay in alone.


I get sick of my best friends too. Every time I'm with family I have to seek solitude pretty often (like every couple hours...)

For some reason I don't feel with way with lovers though. I can do a lot with them with minimal breaks. I don't think I've ever given the men in my life as much space as they needed...

I feel like this a lot of the time...I get sick of people but no not lovers...for some reason that s almost like energy...im not a Taurus though...but I like to blame the Chinese zodiac for that...im year of the earth snake which is astrologically the equivalent of the western zodiac sign Taurus...so my year is a Taurus?..lol..but I feel this way often

I have mixed feeling on having alone time. I enjoy it but I also hate it. I generally try to keep myself as busy as possible. When I have too much alone time or free time I don't get anything done and start closing myself off. I get lost in my comfort zone and don't want to leave. It's a safe place but not a productive place. I'm much more productive when I know I only have a small window of time to get some things done.

I feel this is my one life to live so I want to life it to the fullest. When I'm not working on my business, I volunteer at the zoo and children's hospital. When I have free time from those I always make plans with family and friends to go on weekend trips, explore a new area, go camping, biking, or yoga. Anything outdoors is great for me. I guess I don't generally get run done from these things because I am in control of them and have planned them in and I most often spend time one on one with someone while doing an activity. I think Pisces and Libra are great for that because they are always up for an adventure. I'm not the type of person that can just sit and watch movies or play video games. I get bored when I'm indoors. I do however love to read. Time just seems to fly by when I've got a book open.

I think I'd get emotional run down and need solitude to recharge if I spent my time at parties, clubs, or bars where you have to chit chat with a bunch of random people. That is draining to me. So I typically avoid those situations. I honestly don't know how people have tons of friends and keep up with them all. I only have a handful of people close to me and I sometimes feel overwhelmed with that when they all want to talk or need my time. Most of the time it's not a problem and I enjoy their company.

Am I being anti-social or is this a normal thing for us?

yes especially in my younger years. My parents just thought I was weird. I would go through great lengths to create solitude and quiet to read, listen to background noise (passing cars) and nothing else. Now I love to exercise outdoors during good weather. Nothing makes me feel more alive outside a solo tropical vacation. It clears my mind, it calms me, it makes me content etc.

Yes. I adore some time alone. I can usually grab a few hours to myself on a Friday afternoon when I finish work early. It's my precious precious time. I can go shopping or go home and nap or play around with music...whatever I want. It's like a recharge to my soul batteries!

I feel intruded on if my best friend wants to do coffee during this time! That sounds terrible! But I really enjoy just zoning out and blocking out everyone else's needs and demands!

My husband and I have 7 children and 1 grandson so you can understand...things get busy and demands are constant!

We have every 2nd Friday night to ourselves where we can go out and have dinner or just sloth on the couch together with a bottle of scotch and I adore these nights. That's our recharge our marriage battery night!

I love my solitude.

I can own my own thoughts without any intervention.
A glass of red wine.
Blues and Jazz.
A day off from being overly-consumed by every one else...and everything else.

When this day isn't granted, I can be quite moody when I'm surrounded by other people.


I'm a proud introvert.
