MO:
I love the human psyche and social psychology. It amazes me and interests me and keeps me entertained most days of the year.
Imagine the following scenarios:
* You and your friend are both single looking for ♥. Suddenly you stumble upon the love of your life and swept off your feet you live happily ever after with your newly found partner...
* You and a friend are both unemployed. Suddenly you get offered the BEST job, with the most FUN prospects and a monster HIGH salary...
* You are house hunting and magically, so is your friend. Suddenly you find (and buy) your dream house! Right by the ocean. With 11 bedrooms. And a jetty for a huge boat. AND an amazing walk-in closet, AND...(sorry, got a bit carried away there...)
Yes, yes, I think you get the point.
Here is the million dollar question:
HOW DOES YOUR FRIEND REACT?
In my world there are a couple of expected reactions and personality types out there:
A will mutter something which is barely audible,
B will say nothing at all with a sour, tight lipped face,
B2 will say nothing at all with a sour, tight lipped face and then backtalk you as soon as B2 can.
C will pound you on your back with an obvious false smile and then tell you about something fabulous in their own life- (very quickly) before you get the chance to say anything more on the subject.
D will be genuinely HAPPY for you and very sincerely congratulate you on your success.

Now, which one would YOU like to call a friend?

Kul test! :)
Det finns ju ett självklart svar så klart... har tyvärr en del erfarenhet av C-personerna. Men många D:n runt omkring mig också!
Lycka till med styrketräningen!
Alexander,
Hahaha, visst är det så. Självklart alltså...men samtidigt är det otroligt intressant hur vissa människor har så svårt att dölja sin avundsjuka/missunnsamhet.
Jag har alltid valt bort A,B & C-typen av människor ur min närmsta vänskapskrets och fortsätter att göra det. Life´s too short.
Tack för lyckönskningen-den behövs!
Ses/hör snart!
Kram
Mo
Mo...har gjort detsamma! Inte många kvar nu, men de som är där står kvar för alltid!
Ha en fin måndag...kramar i massor!
Helena,
underbart, eller hur?
När det gäller vänner är det definitivt KVALITÉT och inte kvantitet som räknas...
Massa kramar
Mo
Bette Midler sa: "Det svåraste när man haft en stor framgång är att hitta någon som gläder sig innerligt på ens vägnar"
Men ack vad fantastiska dom är dom där få man finner, säger jag. :)
Kram!
Jenny,

Ses på Nike?
Kramar
