Look Me, No Sandra Dee....I'm a...

Bette!

What.A.Dump. (wild gesturing with a cigarette)

You Are a Bette!

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   (I sometimes forget there's a tact button)
• * being restless and impatient with others' incompetence   
• * sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it   (all.the.time)
• * never forgetting injuries or injustices   
• * putting too much pressure on myself    (all.the.time)
• * 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    (I was the feisty one)
• * 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    (vigorous head shaking)
• * can be demanding, controlling, and rigid (my kids laughed at that one)
