hey, my lotters, if you are going to be told one good news and one bad news, which one you would like to hear first? and why? As to me, i'd rather finish the bad one because it will spoil my mood and then the good news will compensate for it which clear my mood up.

So do I, I will not enjoy the good news, if awaiting bad news afterwards. I would rather hear the bad news first, to see how I could comprehend it and do anything to resolve it, if related with me. A separate comment about good and bad news. The apparently good news is not necessarily good news, and the apparently bad news is not necessarily bad news, either. Too much good news possibly leads to doubts, and reluctance to hear bad news is warning that there is a lot to do.

I'd rather hear the good news first :) I think it's like having a good greeting, at least the blow of the bad news would be less when I'm already feeling better about the good news. Thanks for the response on my discussion! And welcome to myLot!

I think I've been here for 6 months... I'm not sure :D It's actually pretty easy to reach "many posts" but to make sure that all your posts are relevant and informative, then you have to invest some time and effort and that's where the challenge comes from :) I know you'd do well if you find myLot to your liking :)

Hurmmm....interesting question but obviously you would want to hear good news. Some people like to hear bad news happening to other people. I don't know. Not everyone likes to hear good news. LOL

If you are a positive attitude person then you will hear the good news first and then the bad news whereas a practical person will hear bad news first and then the good news.Since I am a practical person I will hear the bad news first and then compensate it with the good news.

i think i rather hear the bad news first.. so that after it ruins my mood.. i can balance it with the good news.. but there are some good-bad news in one scenario.. so how can you handle this?!..

Same here, I'd rather hear the bad news first so that the good news can make me feel better afterwards.

I would rather hear the good news first if the bad news is really bad then the good news wont be as good if you hear it after the bad news I would rather take that one moment to enjoy the good news
