    You are a Bette — “I must be strong”
    Bettes are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

    How to Get Along with Me

    • * Stand up for yourself… and me.
    • * Be confident, strong, and direct.
    • * Don’t gossip about me or betray my trust.
    • * Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
    • * Give me space to be alone.
    • * Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don’t flatter me.
    • * I often speak in an assertive way. Don’t automatically assume it’s a personal attack.
    • * When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that’s just the way I am.

    What I Like About Being a Bette

    • * being independent and self-reliant
    • * being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
    • * being courageous, straightforward, and honest
    • * getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
    • * supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
    • * upholding just causes

    What’s Hard About Being a Bette

    • * overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don’t intend to
    • * being restless and impatient with others’ incompetence
    • * sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
    • * never forgetting injuries or injustices
    • * putting too much pressure on myself
    • * getting high blood pressure when people don’t obey the rules or when things don’t go right

    Bettes as Children Often

    • * are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
    • * are sometimes loners
    • * seize control so they won’t be controlled
    • * figure out others’ weaknesses
    • * attack verbally or physically when provoked
    • * take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

    Bettes as Parents

    • * are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
    • * are sometimes overprotective
    • * can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

      Are you sure I’m a Bette? I don’t feel like a Bette. I feel more like a Robert or a William. Ummmm… I have a feeling I am not allowed on this blog. :)

      Thanks Kate.

      Now how did this thing decide I was a Lassie? I’m feeling a little insulted.

      Diddums: I always think of that song when I see her name.

      Max – Yes, you have to be Bette, but if you don’t like that how about Doris? It’s a fine and under-used name ;-)

      Debbie – You got Lassie? That’s not fair. Mind you, she did have lovely brown eyes and beautifully glossy hair ;-)
