Default How quick are you to announce good news?

Do you go against steadying the horses but do go about the place galavanting and telling everyone the news (a) or are you a bit more inclined to not want to jinx it (b)?

I hope that’s not the last time you heard good news.

Depends on the person tbh. I won’t announce the news until it’s confirmed and it would only be to a select group of people I.e certain friends and close relatives. Sometimes I’ll announce good news and some people will be happy and react positive to whatever the news may be. There’s certain people tho that I’ve announced good news to in the past who act really pessimistic regardless if it’s good news relating to me or something that might benefit someone else. Those kinda people are always the last to know and I won’t really go out of my way to tell them either.

100% there are certain people who just dont want to hear good news as it makes them bitter

It depends on the good news, like if it is something that will be obvious I will tell people as soon as I know its actually happening, if its something more private I am pretty cagey as to who I tell
