The good: I like helping without expecting anything in return. If someone I care about is happy, I will be happy.

The bad: A white lie, even if it was told to don't hurt my feelings, I will label it as a lie and I will lose all trust in you.

The ugly: If you do or say something that reminds me of my best friend (who committed suicide 25 years ago), without providing any explanation, I will be in a quite angry mode towards anyone until I have been able to sort out my thoughts, and that could last for weeks.

I dunno if the bad is all bad. As long as you communicate you can't trust people who lie casually about little things, and are a relentlessly honest yourself- it's all fair game

The ugly: same thing happens when people take my family's substance abuse history lightly. Some things will always be delicate and will always require professional help.
