Are You Too Friendly? [TEST]

Being friendly is undoubtedly desirable, but is it possible to be too friendly? As it turns out, it is.

Some overly friendly people may spend time with those who aren’t very polite or respectful. In some cases, they may befriend toxic people, those who don’t treat them well or take advantage of them in some way.

On top of that, many people say they dislike and avoid overly friendly people for a number of reasons:

  • Many overly friendly people are eager to please and think they have to agree with everything, even when it’s OK to disagree.
  • Second, they often give compliments that are not necessarily deserved, and the person on the receiving end knows it.

These behaviors make people wonder what their over-friendly acquaintances are trying to achieve and who they really are. It feels like they are playing a role, and one may only wonder who is really behind the mask.

The irony is that while over-friendly people usually have good intentions, others may not see it and avoid them anyway.

A little bit of assertiveness without being rude is the way to go.

17-34:

You are a friendly and helpful person. Other people and their opinions are extremely important to you, which may sometimes mean people-pleasing and approval-seeking tendencies.

It may also mean that sometimes you are a bit too friendly. For example, you might sometimes befriend negative people or people who don’t treat you well.

Another thing to be aware of is your tendency to suppress yourself to appeal to others or avoid confrontation.

No matter the situation, you make a conscious effort to treat others well, and you sincerely want to see others happy.

Under 17:

You know how to be friendly without losing yourself. While you are flexible and open to suggestions, you know how to balance your own and other people’s needs.

You may still be conventionally polite, keeping up appearances and following the rules of etiquette. And while you may want other people’s love and approval, you don’t befriend just anyone, and you only interact with those who treat you respectfully.
