"First I think the purpose of the class is to identify who you are as a person in order to better help another person. You need to know yourself and be confidant in self before trying to help another"
What quotes stand out to you?
"Rather than trusting our-self to search within and find our own answers to the conflicts in our life, we sell out by becoming what others expect of us. Our being becomes rooted in their expectations and we become strangers to our-self." (Theory and Practice of Conseling and Psychotherapy by Gerald Core)
Why did you like it?
"I think that it comes to show that people just try to please people rather than pleasing theirselfs, for some reason we are so caught up in how people think of ourselves"
What area in life do you think people are insincere?
I would say relationships, because people are sacred of being along, yet its ironic because being alone is the best thing for you, its when you learn the most about yourself"
Thank you Yesenia for Sharing!
Do you agree with Yesenia?
Are humans afraid of being alone?
Do we care to much about what people think?
Is the fear of loneliness keeping us away from knowing true self?
Your last question really captures my interest. I've always thought that we, as humans, are in a constant battle between wanting whats comfortable and secure and seeking something that will excite and keep us on our toes. I'm not saying that everyone who settles down is not actually happy or not actually in love, but I have personally seen a lot of people who seem to be settling for what's comfortable instead of taking the risk of being alone and being hurt to seek something bigger. It makes me wonder if we all chose to act on things we constantly wondered about, what we find out about ourselves?
