A genuine conversation

7/5/2008

So i met with my mate yesterday. She won’t mind me using her real name for this one. For some reason we got onto the topic of honesty. Think we were bitching about a friend who we’d really like to tell her her bad traits so she could actually get a boyfriend! she wonders why. We have the answers!

She decided she wanted to know what were her bad traits. Before she could even finish her sentence i blabbed about 15 things out. High maintenance, bad clothes, acts too motherly, uses to many analogy’s.. the lsit went on. She looked shocked at first then we just laughed. She said she founf it refreshing that someone else is pointing out things she hadn’t noticed in herself. She pointed a few out for me as well. Bossy, Nosy, judgemental. I knew most of them about myself. part of me feels hurt that someone has noticed this in me. Part of me thinks i knew all this and i still quite like those things about me so i’m not going to change.

The conversation has got me thinking, if everyone was honest with each other about their good and bad traits people would have a good idea about moving on other aspects of their life. Getting a bloke, Getting a job, Getting on with friends and family.

I know to tone down my judgemental attitude. As for the Nosiness…if i didn’t have that i wouldn’t want to be a journalist.
