Sounds too good to be true?

Even though being kind and generous to everyone is a desirable trait to have in you; still, sometimes it's better to change the strategy. To let others have a taste of their own medicine. 

In simple words, to adopt a mirror personality. 

What is a "Mirror Personality"?

Well, despite the fact that it is pretty clear from its "name"; still, some of you might confuse it with another term called "Mirroring". 

Well, mind that both terms might sound the same, but in reality, they aren't. Allow me to explain.

Mirroring, in simple words, means copying others; Copying in terms of gestures, movements and maybe the speech.

Why do we do that?

According to psychology, it is a behaviour that we unconsciously exhibit while interacting with others; 

but, sometimes,

 it can also be used as an intentional technique to boost the trust relationship between you and the subject(the person you are mirroring). Because research shows that this kind of behaviour helps foster trust and relationships.

Moving toward the "Mirror Personality"

Due to frequently used keywords on google, if you search this term, you will find the exact definition as I did for "Mirroring"( to mimic someone). 

But mirror personality(at least according to me) is different. It means to treat others the way they treat you. 

 Or, as I said earlier, 

"To give them a taste of their own medicine". 

Well, to this point, this idiomatic metaphor(deep. Isn't it, Well, I was going to say quote, but that's what I found on google. lol) might give you negative vibes due to its frequent usage in a negative sense. But, it doesn't need to be negative all the time; sometimes, it can also be positive.

In simple words, adopting a mirror personality doesn't mean you will lose your generosity. It is only an advanced strategy to let other people realize how their words and actions affect you(those actions can be negative or positive, your job is to deliver the same as you receive).

Which one is better Generous personality or Mirror Personality?

Well, generous personalities are always in demand because these people are always there for you, no matter how hard you go on them. 

For example, your parents, No matter how rude you are to your parents(which shouldn't be happening), still whenever you get in the slightest trouble and are in need of help, they can't bear to sit back there and do nothing. Similarly, your generous(and genuine) friends possess the same traits.

But along with pros, there are cons. 

Even being the most acceptable category still, generous people struggle a lot in this world. Why? Because they are selfless souls; they don't think about themselves, 

And, due to their kind nature, they are often misused and are deprived of their "Rights".

Having a mirror personality is considered more of a practical; trait. Because In our world, "generosity" is often taken for granted. So, In these circumstances, it is better to let others pay the price for their actions( Saying again, it can be good as well).

In my opinion, for this era, the "Mirror personality" is the generous personality. 

Because, now, we live in a world where being too good can also be harmful to you. So, basically, we can conclude that In the present situation being a Mirror-er( that's not even a word) is an ideal option for you.

Conclusion:

It is better to let others have a taste of their own medicine, but this medicine doesn't have to be bitter in every case.

Be generous, but don't let others take advantage of you. 

Caring for others is a desirable quality, but that doesn't mean that you will have to be too selfless to even lose your own rights.

So, friends, here it comes to an end. I hardly managed to sum it up. But tried my best to make it as simple as possible for you. Hope you will like it.

How I got this idea?

Well, I have a friend and he is a very approachable kind of guy, I mean everyone likes to spend some time with him, it's like he shares interests with everyone. In short, everyone feels like they both are on the same page(whenever having a discussion).

One day we are together and I mentioned the point I noticed and asked how do you manage to do this?

 He replied by saying that His father had advised him that

"Treat everyone the way they treat you" simple as that. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it is true, trust me.
