You've heard the phrase "mom friend" before, right? The friend that has to make sure all of her people are safe and happy, the friend that is a natural nurturer, the friend that loves her people so deeply, it is as if they are her own flesh and blood... if you don't know who the mom friend in your group is, it is probably you. and you probably didn't realize it's you, because you're a mother personality and that comes naturally to you. Nothing about who you are seems weird or different to you, but your friends will notice, and they will appreciate you.
So here is a definitive list of qualities you have if you are the mom friend:
1. You're a pleaser. Other peoples' happiness comes before your own. Always.
2. You're a worrier. You want all your people to be having fun and enjoying life, even if it means you have to take care of them and make sure they are safe.
3. You're a nurturer. If your people are sad, you are sad. You will love your people in the lowest of lows. You are who your people turn to when they are sad, happy, overwhelmed, stressed etc. because you will laugh when they laugh and cry when they cry.
4. You enjoy being the designated driver. Making sure your people are safe is WAY more fun than relying on someone else to make sure you AND your people are safe.5. You don't get tired of people asking things of you. In fact, you feel honored and happy that your people chose YOU to help.
6. You are a master advice giver. Even if you do not know the person or the situation, something about your persona screams "CONFIDE IN ME!" and somehow, you always have the right words.7. When your people are hurting, you are hurting. You take on other peoples pain as if it is your own, which is emotionally draining for you, but you wouldn't change a thing.
8. When something exciting happens for someone, your joy exudes as if it was your own accomplishment. You are so genuinely happy when good things happen for your people, that your excitement is as if it was your own child.
9. You sometimes get taken advantage of. You don't mind though because you are making your people happy and they will appreciate you for it one day, even if it's not today.10. You have an amazing mom that has made you strive to have the same personality type as her. Because when you have an amazing mom, you want to grow up to be just like her.
