the real word what's up with that personality quiz
  • Do you ever feel the need to make excuses for your actions?
  • Are there certain people who just really get under your skin?

Ask yourself these questions:
· What does it mean to be merciful?
· How can you be more merciful to those you encounter daily?
· Think of a time when you failed to act with mercy. How would you replay the scene if given the chance?

what to do?
pictureYou hear that an old friend has said something that hurts you deeply. What do you do?
A Cut them off. If you don't protect yourself, who will?
B Confront the person and tell them how you feel.
C Hurt the person back. Sometimes, someone doesn't know what's up unless they get the same thing.
D Check out if what you heard is true. If it is, then be honest to the person about what you feel.
