Have you ever found yourself misinterpreting your friend’s actions, only to realize later that you had no idea what was going on? We’ve all been there, so drink water and don’t beat yourself up yet. You might wonder why your friend suddenly left the room or stopped visiting. You might even assume they’re mad at you or just being moody.
…but what if you knew something more about your friend that could change the way you understand their behaviour? What if you knew their genotype and how it affects their reactions, preferences, and overall well-being?
We often make assumptions about our friends’ behaviour without knowing the full story. We might think they’re lazy because they don’t join us at the gym or that they’re inconsiderate because they left a stuffy room without waiting for us. That’s why I made this post. For you to be aware genotype most time plays a role in their energy levels or sensitivity to certain environments.
For example, some genotypes may predispose individuals to certain health conditions or reactions to specific foods. Someone with a genotype of sickle cell anemia might need to avoid certain physical activities or environments that could trigger a crisis. Someone whose genotype is AA might avoid certain environment because they easily get knocked down with malaria, while some avoid cold because catarrh is always waiting for an opportunity to give them a big hug. By knowing this information, we can offer more support and encouragement, without criticizing their choices.
Another thing is learning to be a safe space. When we know our friends’ genotypes, we should create a safe space for them to still open up about their needs and concerns. We shouldn’t broadcast their condition for them. This can deepen our friendships and build trust. By being understanding and accommodating, we show our friends that we care about their well-being and are willing to adapt to their needs.
When we know our friends’ genotypes, we can better understand their strengths, weaknesses, and needs.
In conclusion, knowing your friend’s genotype can be a powerful tool in building stronger, more empathetic relationships. Let’s strive to be more understanding and supportive friends by learning more about each other’s needs and genotypes.
Till I’m back to stir the drink, stay good!
