5 people Interviews: (Audio got deleted, paraphrased the best I could from memory)
Paola- "What makes you special is your ability to know when to be serious and when to have fun. How you always know the appropriate time to say/do something. Because of that, it makes it so easy to talk to you."
Jonathan- "Always been the same old Louis from day 1. Known you since the 7th grade and now were pretty much 'adults' but you're the same guy I met back in Middle school. And I know if I need someone to count on, I can count on you."
Nadia- "You're one of a few people that get me. You are also one of a few people that I few genuinely comfortable around with. Between your personality and actions, you make me feel comfortable about myself.
Philip- "Once we officially bonded the beginning of sophomore year it seemed like our friendship was set. You've always been there for me and looking out for me even when I didn't ask for it. I know I can count on you for anything."
Marielle- "You've always been weird, but in a good way. You manage to always make everyone feel better whenever you see them. You are a very caring individual and have no problem putting others before yourself."
Comparisons
There are differences from how others see me and how I see myself but I am not surprised by what I was told. I know when I was thinking about myself I thought about things that were solely about me, however, I know in reality I am someone who looks out for others as from what was told from the interviewees. I completely agree with the interviewees and if there was anything I would change from my personal list is that I am more considerate and concerned for others over myself.
Louis, I’m glad you agreed with your interviewees for the most part and it seems like you know yourself pretty well. It is however difficult to determine how exactly your interviews lined up with your list as it can be a tad vague in its description of the items mentioned. Hopefully more insight and retrospection will be available to you if you can get the audio fixed.
ReplyDeleteLouis, sorry to hear you're audio was deleted. It makes it hard to know exactly what your friends were saying without the audio but it seems they all know you really well. It seems as though many times our friends help us discover ourselves. I think concern for others can really help you in your future.
ReplyDeleteHey Louis, I wish I could have listened to the audio to get a more detailed description of what your friends thought of you, however, your descriptions were clear enough to understand what those close to you think about you. I think it is good that you do not see some of these qualities in yourself because it just means that your a genuine person. Also, most of your interviewees said the same thing for the majority of the comments. I can see how you would want to change how concerned you are for others because sometimes I have the same problem.
ReplyDeleteHey Louis, I am sorry your audio got deleted, it would have added a lot to your post. But I appreciate your paraphrasing, I think it is a lot easier to look at yourself differently as self critiquing is something many of us, including myself, are very familiar with. It adds a lot to your personality that you do not see yourself in the same way others see you, it adds to your caring nature.
