The better to misuse us with…

Big Talkers… Smooth Talkers… think of it as a wolf in Used Car Salesman clothing.

At one time or another, we have all spent time buying a car… time we will never get back. Sitting for hours in an office with lousy coffee, and a bowl of stale candy on a side table. Schmoozing, promising… talking us into compromising our better judgement, in order to get an affordable price on a vehicle they swear is Steal of a Deal!

Now that you have a mental image of a personality trait no one enjoys dealing with, I wish to relate this to a personality trait that sends red flags up for me, brighter than Red Riding Hoods Cape! I know that I used an example about a car dealer, but we all have met folks that act and talk like Grannie but are really not an old woman at all.

Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing, as they say!

I looked on Google for accurate descriptions of Personality Traits, and there is a really interesting one called yourdictionary.com . A wise thing I noted while reading, is the fact that the question we are answering should pertain to someone we know. A trait is an overall thing, a persons natural go to… not an off the cuff reaction or behavior, so car dealerships across America can breath a sigh of relief. You are not all bad… just some.

Quite frankly, we should choose our friends wisely! I come from an old school train of thought… If you are going to talk the talk, then you better be able to walk the walk… A man is as good as his word… do unto others as you would have them do unto you… etc!

As in the wise words of Forest Gump, “That’s all I got to say about that”…

Enjoy brekkers…
