[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me get this straight. Your daughter texts you happy and bubbly and enthused about her new piano -- you immediately prick her bubble by informing her "jokingly" no one in the family has any musical talent. But you were of course kidding. Because you have a sunshiney bright disposition and she does not. OP, we all have a certain way of looking at ourselves which is firmly established. We don't take the time to question it. But I ask you, who in the above scenario was bright and upbeat? You or your daughter? Couldn't you have just been happy for her? Why did you need to make a mean joke?[/quote] This.[/quote] +1 People act differently around different people, depending on the kinds of reaction they expect. If you feel she doesn't share or project joy, perhaps it's because you often cut it down or nit pick etc.[/quote]
