someone I know is having a trustworthy person and

a bad day and he/she
shares the reason behind it
and when he/she wishes
to keep it as a secret, I am
keeping it. Although I am
aware that it isn’t always
good to keep someone’s
secret, especially if that
secret is bothersome and
has the possibility to
change positively if you’ll
deal with it properly. And I
think, sharing is not enough
when you share some
depressive thoughts. It
needed an action.
5. I’m an emphatic Being an emphatic person
person is a thing where you able to
put yourself in the shoe of
others. This is a person are those who are
characteristic where you
able to understand other
people’s motivations,
needs, emotions, and
struggles. Having this
characteristic and based
on personal experience,
you can be a crying
shoulder or a buddy of
someone who needs
comfort and attention.
person who have trust
issues are matched
because this way those
who have trust issues could
somehow change their
perspective that not all
people can’t be trusted.
I believed that the people
who will be receiving the
actions from an emphatic
having a bad day, who
have depressive thoughts,
or other person related to
having deep and dark
emotions. I believed that
an emphatic person can
someone be a bridge or a
gateway for a person be
able to release his/her
hard emotions.

4. What do you think are the challenges and joys in doing the actions you mentioned?
(5 points)

- I think one of the challenges when showing such those characteristics I have
mentioned is that sometimes you are doing it not because of the principle of that
characteristic, but because you are afraid on what people could say to you if you
are unable to fulfill it on their eyes, and you tend to overthink sometimes. For
example, when someone asked to borrow money from you, and you have that
value he/she is asking, but you already reserved it for your essentials. If you are a
person who is afraid of criticism, especially if you knew that the person who is
asking something from you is someone who is a gossip lover, it is inevitable that
you will be overthinking. This caused you to jump into conclusions that if you will
not give what he/she ask, that person might do something unnecessary in your
part. On the other hand, the positive side of having these characteristics you are
able to see both sides (positive and negative) of the world. Also, having these
characteristics where you able to perform it accordingly and sincerely, you
already served as an example to other people to do the same thing. Additionally,
you are able to channel positivity in the world as well as it can contribute to your
personal growth and principles in life.
