If you are a Taurus, then you’ve probably come to terms with being known for your stubbornness (possibly the most forward-facing attribute of this sign). And if you’re friends with one of these bullish types, you can probably recognize their Taurus-aligning characteristics, like allegiance and commitment to you.

These are 6 Taurus personality traits the bull in your life will identify with.

1. You have a reputation for being “stubborn”

Take it as a compliment—it means you’re determined and unfailingly persistent, both of which can bode well for you regarding career and life goals.

2. Treating yourself is a lifestyle, not a hobby

You demand a lot from everyone, yourself included. But you know what they say: “Work hard, self care hard.”

3. You’re not usually emotional, but when you are, it’s all melodrama

You usually keep a cool head, but when you snap, it’s like an explosion.

4. Your approach to friendship is quality over quantity

Being such a dedicated and loyal friend means that you don’t really have the time or energy to maintain relationships with people you don’t deeply care about. This means your friend group is small and intimate.

5. Some call it being a control freak—you call it extreme independence

When you do something, you commit yourself to it 110 percent, which means you’re not the most flexible person in the world. But, hey, there’s a price to pay for your intense dedication.

6. You’re extremely charming and personable when you feel like it

Because of your persistent nature, you can set your mind to accomplish whatever you want. That means you can be super friendly and social—when you choose to be.
