They don’t start every conversation by talking about their unimportant and boring problems.

They don’t gossip or speak badly of other people.

They understand that life happens and they don’t fall apart when it does.

Able to see big picture, accomplish goals without letting small things trip up their egos. Not overly-sensitive/easily offended. If offended, able to understand/attempt to understand the stuation without being reactionary/impulse/fly off the handle. Able to disagree and stand up for themselves without hard feelings/taking things personally.

This, plus being able to apologize and admit when they were wrong, and try to do better next time.

Not gossiping is huge. Genuinely happy for others. No fomo.

Agree with traits listed above and will add not overly reactive--ability to remain calm and problem-solve

They are generous, because they are confident that they have “enough” and will not be diminished by sharing.

They don’t blame others for their shortcomings.

oh my gosh this gave me a nice boost this morning. I do basically all of these things. Except for reading the list. on this website. which maybe negates them.

I"ve become acutely aware recently about the "gossip" one and whether a story or anecdote I am preparing to tell could be considered "gossip". I also recently have become aware about when what I'm being told is "gossip" and gently avoid listening. I realize now that the 3rd hand story about why my cousin in a state down south supposedly got divorced was gossip, had no bearing on my life why I would need to know details, and was none of my business. And it came from my mom. Sigh.

They are not obsessed with their social standing or class.
