When a Taurus is in his zone, he likes to focus on just that. He or she doesn’t want to change directions and just wants to do his thing and be left alone to do it.

They always tend to have their guards up and they don’t like to tell others how they truly feel or what they think. Part of this is because they are concerned about what people will think of them because self-image is important and also because they feel that they need to know the person first really well before they can trust them. This may entail many, many years of friendship in order for that trust to pop up.
3. Taking Someone For Granted

They may also not admit how they feel just because they are too ashamed or too high and mighty to do that. This may cause them to pitter-patter when it comes to saying whom they like. They can also choose partners or careers based on monetary merit not really because they love the person or the job.
