Friends or family describing you. What would they say?

My family would say I was generous and thoughtful and also a bit of a rebel!

My eldest granddaughter (13) says that I'm weird...in a good way!!

I dread to think...

Yeah, I daren’t ask my lot tho since they’re always here cluttering up the house I can’t be bad.Found DD2 here when I got back from work chatting to DP and making herself cheese on toast🤔 she lives in her own house a ten min walk away.

My daughters would say good things about me, as would my GC. A long-standing friend once described me as someone who would do anything for anyone - which surprised me cos I couldn't thing of much that I had done!

However, I have had few close friends in adult life, the closest one sadly gone and two others have not spoken to me in several years - telling me "you well know why" when I asked. I still have no idea why. Plus, although I have lots of "contacts", was well-respected with my work colleagues, I don''t really have any close friends any more. It upsets me.

No idea, I've never asked them. I daren't.

I dread to think, but I do know that they love me, as I do them! 😂

My daughter describes me as bonkers and a total nightmare
How very dare she ...😂

I feel far more comfortable with descriptions like this than any others.

A very 'mumsy' Mum, my family come first and nothing is too much trouble. I'm an animal lover and love small children. On the downside, I'm a real worrier and super sensitive (hate confrontation). I am hopeless in a crisis, but thankfully DH is brilliant and so level headed.

DD thinks I’m unconventional and undomesticated (arty), my mother thought me conscientious and worried too much about other people, friend has described me as mad, eccentric and “sounds posh, but she isn’t” (meant as a compliment)

I have been called humble. By several different people.

I wouldnt say I was. Or not enough anyway.
I am not sure I deserve the title personally.

I must come across as that.
Not sure my inner self is really.

And writing this post, ccertainly isnt!

Intelligent, artistic, romantic . Doesn’t suffer fools gladly, pedantic and now nearly 80, does her own thing.

I dread to think...

I'd love to be described as being like my role model, who is the female engine Emily in the Thomas the Tank Engine series.
"Clever, cheerful, competent, that's Emily" goes her song.
I know I fall short in all three characteristics, but I try!

I hate to think. My sister and I don't speak. I think she's cruel and she thinks I'm mental. My lovely parents, if they were still alive would have different opinions. My Mother would say I was a problem, my Father adored me. I actually don't have much family but would probably be seen as the black sheep!

Friends however, would say I'm reliable, trustworthy, kind and put others first.

oh, and I think most friends would agree with DS and DD.

My son once told me how much he enjoyed having eccentric parents, which was a bit of a surprise because I thought we were boring ly 'normal' and dear daughter assured me, only this week, that I am odd and not normal. I am quite happy with these descriptions.

DS and I are diagnosed neurally diverse and I am pretty sure DD is and DGS awaits diagnosis.

My dgd recently described me to someone thus - ‘she’s lost most of her sight and her hearing but she behaves like a normal person.’ I was quite chuffed.

Mad as a box of frogs. Annoying a loving grandma and supportive.

Loud, grumpy, silly, pedantic, overly worried about my adult children, generous, empathic and annoying

Forgot the most important quality, VERY Family orientated! I adore them!

Generous, optimistic, happy, loving, artistic, intelligent, supportive, impulsive, sometimes annoying. And looking at this list, probably big-headed too!

All the good stuff but with a certain edge ! Family take a sharp breath in if "the look " appears. Sadly not everyone recognises it so carnage has been known to happen, I mean verbally , never physical.

Our Yorkshire Lass says “she loves us in the abstract”. 😁
She & Himself can clash as both are very opinionated people. But lovely with it …
