ReplyDeleteMostly A’s – The Steady Anchor
Your coping strength is ritual. When life spins, you reach for familiar comforts—coffee, music, the small routines that keep you grounded. People rely on you because you’re reliable (and because you always know where the snacks are).
Mostly B’s – The Tactical Planner
Your coping strength is order. You believe problems can be tackled if you break them down just right—and you’re usually correct. Friends come to you for practical advice, but also because you bring calm clarity to the chaos.
Mostly C’s – The Comic Relief
Your coping strength is humor. You defuse stress with laughter, memes, and snarky observations. You make it through the rough stuff by finding lightness, and you help others laugh their way out of funks too.
Mostly D’s – The Quiet Resilient
Your coping strength is calm detachment. You don’t ignore reality, but you know how to take a step back and let storms pass. You’re reflective, self-contained, and your peace helps others find theirs.
By the way - big shocker - I'm a Tactical Planner. Sigh.
