I have decided to categorize everyone I know into friends and acquaintances. My friends will include people who can be described as the following:
“A Class Act” - maintains their dignity at all times. No drama, no flying off the handle.
“The Real Deal” - follows their own path. Doesn’t worry about what others say.
“A Stand-Up Guy/Gal” - there for you. Keeps to their word. No flaking out.
“A Straight Shooter” - Honest, no B-S pal. Never blows smoke up your ass.
“The Total Package” - This person has it all together, but is still down to earth.
My acquaintances will be people who can be described as the following:
“Hot Shot” - Thinks they’re the total package, but they’re not down to earth.
“Ball-Buster” - Thinks they’re being a straight shooter, but they’re just giving you a hard time.
“Brown-Noser” - thinks they’re a stand-up guy/gal, but they’re not doing it from the heart.
“A Drip” - thinks they’re being a class act, but they’re really just BORING.
“A Gadfly” - thinks they’re being the real deal, but the individual path they’re following is designed to annoy other people.
