I can't even tell you how true that is. And sometimes, that exhausts me too. My friends from high school used to say I was always the best at keeping in touch, which can be irritating to know because I realize, too, then, that if I stop making the effort to keep touch with them we often lose touch altogether, which is actually what ended up happening. And I wonder, too, is there a point where it stops? Where my tendency to responsibility isn't enough anymore and it falls on the other? I may be "the responsible one," but I don't necessarily think that absolves my friends of being responsible either. And I know these quiz results aren't firm lines; I'm not the responsible one and nothing else; friends aren't something else and not responsible at all. But this is making me start to think about friendship and responsibility and where the line starts and ends...Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993362069091791525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-25344956950528642492012-02-21T22:45:56.142-05:002012-02-21T22:45:56.142-05:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the quiz link...Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the quiz link.

I want to go to a breakfast party on your patio!) :)<br /><br />I took the quiz, and I am the confidante. The "beloved, mothering type is ' the person others turn to when something is going wrong... You're going to listen to them and they value your advice.'"<br /><br />As I continued reading, it said, "You have a nurturing personality... You may be the oldest sibling in your family and are used to taking care of others. You exude confidence and have good judgement... You are basically giving out love, and who doesn't love that kind of friend?"<br /><br />It made me feel good to read that! :) I could see myself in it, and I could see the need to follow through with some of the caution expressed about setting boundaries. <br /><br />(I love random tests like this!)jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348689568073335317noreply@blogger.com
