Fighting and other confrontations require some finesse. If Tauruses feels attacked or cornered they will dig in their heels. This doesn’t always mean that they’ll come out guns blazing during an argument. The stubbornness of a Taurus can manifest in several ways. Depending on the other emotional issues and personality traits he or she is facing, you could see an emotional shutdown, a need for distance, or an insistence that “everything is fine.”
