What kind of person are you? Push Over, Bitter, or in the middle?
What kind of person are you? Do you go through a horrible experience and learn a lesson grow from it and move forward, or do you take it to heart and let it allow you to make you bitter?
When your boyfriend cheats on you do you sit around and speak badly about men for years, if you ever even stop? Did you have that one girlfriend who betrayed you, then now you just have sworn off ever having a close gal pal again? When your brother did that really stupid thing in school and embarrassed you by telling your crush everything your diary said about your fantasy life together, did you disown your brother and never forgive him again? Do you just think that sometimes things should not be forgiven no matter what people do to redeem themselves? Does this sound like you? Are you one to hold a grudge for all time? Do you hold it against one specific person or do you hold it against anyone who may be anything like them?
Or are you the complete opposite? Are you the one friend that will always let everyone do whatever he or she wants whenever they want no matter how it affects you? Are you known as the friend who will always bend over backwards to do anything for everyone? Do you think that you are walked all over by your friends? Do you think that you are a push over?
Or, do you see yourself as the one in the middle, the one who knows where to draw the line on both sides of the spectrum? Do you think that you know when it is time to let go of your friends, but you also know how to pick your battles and when to just back down? Do you get angry, but know how to understand that people are human and mistakes are made? Do you think that there is always a way to get over things without giving in?
Which kind of person are you, have you always been this way? Have you noticed a change in your reactions to others has changed, as you got older? Do you have tips on the way you think is best? Steps to get from one extreme to the middle of the road? Do you even think people should try to be in the middle of the road?
So at first I was going with push over, but I would have to honestly say i am somewhere in the middle. Great blog, check out mine when you have time.

I agree that sometimes it can be very hard to tell which one you are. One thing that I have always said is; “There is a fine line between being a fool, and loving someone unconditionaly.” Sometimes you think you are just loving someone for exactly who they are, when in reality you are letting them walk all over you!
For the longest time I was a complete push-over, and I got burned so many times because of it. And I knew I was this way too, I just didn’t know how to change.
Finally I am gravitating toward the middle, slowly, and with much effort, but I am getting there.
It is very hard to make life changes like this! Especially considering that you must change your whole reactions to life and people while being surrounded by the same people and situations! When things change for you it is easy to adjust, while it is much more difficult to change everything yourself!
