Pooh, Eeyore or Tigger?
It has been interesting the last few days reading about empathy and should we be cheerleaders or should we be realists?
Sometimes when I read posts character voices jump in my head. Today it was Eeyore as I read what someone told another member. You know Eeyore only sees the downside or the worst possibility of a situation. My mind read the post in the slow manner even.
I got to thinking, are the member here divided into the AA Milne characters?
Are you Pooh? Trying as hard as you can to be accepted and still getting into things that you have to work your way out of? Think of the honey pot, and how it relates to clothing. You sneak into the cabinet, eat all the honey and then...you get caught because you didn't pay attention to what you were doing.
Are you Tigger? Happy go lucky, doing what you want when you want and damn the consequences. It is all about now and you.
Are you Eeyore, who as I have stated, sees only the downside to whatever you do. The possible (or in Eeyore's case the probable) crash that will follow.
Piglet? Anxiety city.
