What are your most important life experiences that make you , you?
What are some lessons you've learned and why did you have to learn them?
What are some mistakes you can’t get over?
What are some experiences that didn’t teach you anything or maybe you had to look back on it years later to understand?
What parts of your personality can be found around the world in others and what can be found solely in you??
What did other individuals shape you into and that did YOU shape yourself into?
The human experience is truly an amazing part of having consciousness, though there are some EXTREMELY bad times and suffering, I think in the end (for the most part) the human experience is a wonderful and very specific thing! Id love to hear from whoever is willing to share <3
I LOVE learning about individual people so much, I think it’s important to be understanding and curious about the lives around you (this goes for animals, plants, and fungi too)!!
I am only on my 22nd year of existence and I can’t imagine how much more I have to go through and learn, but I am also excited for the new experiences that may or may not surround me!
Also ik this is sorta personal so feel free to skip if you’re not comfortable with answering <3

i enjoy learning about people too. this world is so vast and complex so getting to jnow diversity is really interesting
> What are your most important life experiences that make you , you?
it’s always gonna be the experiences i have with my friends. i realize a lot about myself through human interaction
>What are some lessons you've learned and why did you have to learn them?
there’s a difference between feeling sad and cognitive distortions(you dont have to suppress negative feelings to improve yourself at all, peace is learning to live with moderation)
>What are some mistakes you can’t get over?
a phase full of arrogance and being obnoxious a year ago T-T
>What are some experiences that didn’t teach you anything or maybe you had to look back on it years later to understand?
i dont know actually, a lot of experiences mean a lot to me

kindness is not as rare as people think it is— i might even say that evil nor kindness reign over each other. it depends where you are, sure, but it seems to me that kindness can be as common as someone who is immoral.. so it’d either be kindness i would find or just someone being nice. maybe people being morally gray seems to fill the world these days. (then again, i believe i cant define the world because i cannot understand it. too many contradictions make it impossible, i think)
something that can solely be found in me is.. well, nothing? sure, i might have beliefs that correlate to animinism and an affinity for inanimate objects— you can find that anywhere. i suppose i consider it “rare” when it comes to an environment like school?

my father had a huge impact on the way i view life and how i treat others. he’s a person that helped me with perspectives like stoicism altruism et cetera and he’s built the foundations of my morality. god has also blessed me with persistence so i love both of them for that
my father did also have a play on influencing some cognitive distortions but his enmeshment was unintentional, he does not know what he is doing. but then again, it’s my responsibility to control what i can xd
Thank you so much for sharing!! I agree HUGLEY on the fact you can’t define the world and the people in it as overall “good” or “bad”/ “kind” or “evil”, it’s easy to get distracted by the amount of evil or good going around especially during times of mass stress but when everyone goes home and has to sit alone for a while, we’re all different and too specific to label overall as a species for sure :D I also think human interaction is so extremely important, it lets you see yourself through something other than a metaphorical mirror and instead through the souls of others!
