Who is the first person you tell when you get good news

There is this particular person that, once a wonderful thing happens in our lives, is the first person that will come to our mind. We will share the good news with them before anyone else; we reach out for our phone or run to meet them because sharing the news with them makes the moment very special.

We all have that person we can reach out to; it may be our parents. Mother or father who has always supported and listened to them in different times and in times of victory for others, it may be your siblings, friends, mentors, and spouse. That person we share our good news with is someone we value, someone whose opinion matters deeply to us. Someone that loves us unconditionally, whose happiness means a lot to them, and whose words become part of the joy itself. A simple 'congratulations' and 'I'm proud of you' can make an achievement feel even more meaningful.

When we look at the society we are in, relationships are one-sided. Now comes the big question: will you be the first person that an individual can think of when they have good news to share? Close relationships involve trust and emotional investment. If you have someone that you always call when life goes well, it is normal to wonder if you are seen the same way. And when you find out that the love is genuine, it will strengthen the bond between you. I will not lie; it creates a sense of belonging and importance knowing that someone values you and your success. You occupy a space in their heart.

Life is so unpredictable; the person you tell first may have someone else closer to them. It may be their spouse, parent, or siblings; that doesn’t mean you have less value. Probably before you came into the picture, the person had been existing.

You see this thing called 'emotions'; it can be logical sometimes. For example, when you share your biggest achievement and happy moment with someone and you find out that the person shares theirs with someone else, believe me, it can be heartbreaking. You will feel disappointed and hurt; a lot of thoughts will run through your mind, questions like 'Am I not as important to them as they are to me?'

It is normal to feel that way because when someone chooses you as their first option, it is a sign of closeness and a privilege, but if you are not the first, reach out to that cool person; that doesn’t diminish the value of the relationship.

It is better we focus on the quality of the relationship rather than who you share good news with. I don’t care who you share your good news with; what I look out for is, do you support me during difficult times? Will you be present when I need you? I don’t care who you call first or who is the first in your contact list.

Lastly, the person we always share our good news with first is someone who is so dear to your heart. Once we receive any good news, we dial their number immediately or run to them; to be honest, true relationships are not built on who hears the good news first, but they are all about who genuinely celebrates you and wishes you well.
