Sharing your good news; Sometimes people are happy for you and sometimes they respond with little or no affirmation. According to five different studies, when another person responds with positive enthusiasm for you, lots of good things happen. A genuine positive response to your good news increases positive outcome for the relationship. You like the other person more as an example, when you share a fun experience and they enjoy it with you. It seems that sharing an accomplishment and getting a good response leaves you feeling more than just fondness. You also feel more trusting and more willing to confide in that person with many types of experience.
