*Insert cry face emoji at their responses*
It's really weird to see how other people see you. I mean, I don't think I'm a horrible person but I certainly don't think I'm the most amazing in the world. This makes me feel really appreciated. The first two responses come from my roommates, and they're both a year younger than me so I feel as though they admire me and that's the root of a lot of things they say about me. It was nice to hear about how some of the things I think about myself are also confirmed by them. The third video is from Jenn, one of my best friends, the part about her saying "I can light up a room" is really special to me. Spreading happiness to other people is something that I'm very grateful I'm able to do. The fourth video is from one of my good friends, Erich. I think the greatest thing I took away from this is that I am able to make him/others feel happy and upbeat. The ability to bring joy to others really motivates me.The fifth video is from my friend Michelle, I've known her since high school. She says that I'm very laid back, and you can talk with me about anything. I'm glad she sees me as someone who is approachable and easy going. I'm not really surprised by what people have said about me, I feel like I know myself very well. I'm just grateful to have the things I think about myself, confirmed by other people.
Kristiana- I think what people said about you was very sweet. I definitely agree that people don't think they are amazing people but also don't think they are horrible but when they hear how much people appreciate them it really shows you how great of a person you really are. I also really liked that you put about your quirky personality! If you want to check mine out its here http://lgator.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html
ReplyDeleteHi Kristiana,
ReplyDeleteI loved watching all of the videos of the sweet things others said about you! My favorite video was Landon's because of the giggles--my sister and I had to record about three separate videos because we kept breaking up in laughter! But I also like how Erich said you're a dog lover (I'm a cat lover! LOL). Your reflection is well put, I really don't think we see how we truly are, but I think that is a good thing otherwise I think we could get really narcissistic.
