Hello!
It's nice to meet you.
Where are you from?
What about "Who are you?"
Of course not. That's an uncomfortable question. What if I inaccurately respond and end up bending the truth? Or worse: what if I'm not interesting?
YOU ARE! Of course you are! Everyone is interesting. Every single individual has a story and each one has value and worth.
Well... what do I say? There are so many things I could say. Wait... no, there isn't anything I can say. Wait... actually, I don't know what to say.Start with something you feel passionate about. What are you involved in? What motivates you? Coke or Pepsi?
. . .
If you are anything like me, you've probably felt that cringing fear when somebody asked, "Who are you?" You probably came up with a hundred answers at once, and in the same instant, lost any clue you might have had.
Or maybe you know exactly who you are. In either case, I want to know.
. . .
Who are you?
My name is Emily. I am a college student. I am an introvert, but I love people. I feel very strongly about loving people regardless of their exterior or interior qualities.
Because of this, I decided to conduct an experiment that will investigate the individual's sense of self. I will be analyzing the different responses that volunteers have when asked, "Who are you?" I want to explore how people define themselves. I'm hoping that doing so will allow the volunteers to better conceptualize their own identity.
Also, I'd like to practice talking to strangers.
