Reflections on Topics Report

Big Five Theory
Ego Psychology
Trait Theory

We started our virtual class at 8:00 AM. The first report was about the Big Five Theory
wherein they discussed the five main characteristics of personality. My reflection on the report was,
it is indeed a well-presented topic. New insights and knowledge were presented and I learned that I
am an Extravert with Low level of extraversion. During my college days, I want to deal with friends.
I go along with them, hang out on free time like weekends but, I never tend myself to be the ice
breaker of the group. I merely listen to them, and just listen alone. I never suggest nor comments on
some of their experiences, daily activities happened to them in school or at their homes. but if you
will ask me, It is OK for me to be alone? My answer is NO. I experienced loneliness if there is no
circle of friends around me. I want my friends to be with me but I am a listener NOT an adviser in
the group.

As I grew up and became professional, I still have that kind of personality. Having a circle of
friends but still a listener to be with. I think, that personality is not an issue nor a negative side of me.
Because, being a listener helps my colleagues especially if they have problems to face and all they
need is a friend ready to give a time to listen to them.

In present time, there are times that I tend to be alone. I rather to listen to radio, watch TV or
read books. There are times that I do not chat or message my friends who are also my co-workers.
The reason is that, sometimes I feel relaxed when alone. Sometimes, I feel calmness and safe. I
realized this personality I think, maybe because of this pandemic that gives me much stress. Addition
to this is the stress caused by school work and reports and negative people around me. I am lucky
because I have a jolly son and a supportive wife that keeps me continue to run and stay of the track.
With them, with the guidance of the Almighty God, what ever my personality is as long as I do not
step on other people I will succeed and fulfill my vision and aspirations.

Speaking of “negative people”, ego-centric theory is much relatable. I am not perfect in terms
of my personality. I also have my weaknesses as a person but what really surprised me is in this
world, there are people that who are not satisfy of what they have. They live because they want to
compete with others. And the most hurting is they were my relatives. They are blessed with finances
but still, they feel envy and jealous on what others have. They are very arrogant and they only
concern on their own benefits regardless if someone will negatively be affected on what they do.
“Ego-Centric” people are very stressful. It is very hard to deal with them more stressed, they are very
closed to me. I pray to Almighty God that miracles happen. I believe in God’s ability to shift the coin
in just a snap. I faithfully trust God that He will also give me strength as a father of my own family
and as a MAEd-AS student. I can push through and reach the finish line with good people around
me.
