Reflection-Storytelling

Challenge and Selection    In some situations I use storytelling to listen to other people talk to me openly. I am a student in  a college. My friends are also studying and some are working. during free time we gather to talk  about what has been passed, maybe a pleasure for example, or whatever sadness it is a problem  that usually occurs. I usually listen to my friends' stories one by one, being a good listener and  also giving advice that might be given to the problem. not only them, I will also tell them about  my daily life, and what I am afraid of, I am always openly with my friends when telling  stories,so that they also feel comfortable telling me a stories. together we look for a solution to a  problem, tell about the future what we will do in the future, what we will achieve, and where to  start it    Application    When i and my friends share a story. sometimes all the stories and suggestions are spoken too  much. because my friend is not just one. therefore some of us had to be neutral, anticipating any  confusion that might ensue. therefore suggestions that are slightly redundant will be reduced and  modified accordingly. to eliminate fear and confusion, usually give advice to each other when  relaxing like drinking a tea at the café or canteen or when the mind is not confused, so that they  can think clearly and make good decisions. sometimes being neutral is necessary because I think.  i’m and my other friends have different thoughts, which maybe in our opinion the advice is the  best but not,necessarily the best for my friends who feel it. Like as when my friend told me when  she and her family got covid and had to go into the isolation room in hospital. I’m and other  friends gave her encouragement, asking how she felt and what was the progress of her recovery      Insight    Well she and her family recover fairly quickly. Her family was able to go home, although she  had to stay for a few more days. so I told her maybe everyone has a different healing time. and I  told her, when my family and I in 2020 were exposed to covid 19. a little scared and confused  what to do, and our healing time was a little long, about 3 weeks to really fit again. I told her  everything will be fine, rest and taking medicine is the key to getting back fit. she calmed down a  bit reading my story, I told her to be patient, stay calm and don't be negative. a few days she was  able to go home    Approach    I really did not expect that what I did before starting this course turned out to be a tool for thinking, I will  study and think about stories that might help my friends or other people to open their eyes that maybe the  problems that occur are not all bad. I just found out maybe a story that we think is trivial or not so  important to tell can actually be a solution for other people, I am very grateful to know it all.
