REFLECTION-STORY TELLING

Challenge and Selection:

Story telling is a great to analyze different problems in our surroundings. I also encountered  something that I was already experiencing myself. In our society I can see that there are many  people out there who are HSP’s (Highly sensitive personalities). It’s a problem /a social issue  many people are facing but a very little population is aware of such. These personalities are  extreme at every kind of emotion to show or express. They are friendly in nature and confident  enough to gather more people around them. They are attractive yet sensitive ones, try to  explain even a small issue and give justifications even if not needed. They have complexities  and compare themselves with others, letting themselves down and useless. These personalities  feel little issues as well and do a great deal of overthinking on sarcasms and jokes as well.  People’s behavior towards them is non empathetic. They don’t think before they speak, they  don’t analyze the selection of their words for them. Knowing about their emotionality they  don’t treat them specially or change their behaviors. People deal them normally and that’s not  the requirement to make them feel better or normal citizens of the society. Such people are  wanting separate attention and condolence that everything is alright and you are beautiful the  way you are. I used the above data to help out such unprivileged people who are not being  heard making them more independent and confident about themselves.

Application:

I work with an organization for orphan children where the CEO is really friendly and wanting to  meet all the demands and wishes of the orphans in any case. What I could see in him are the  symptoms of HSP’s. He is extremely friendly as well as sensitive about things, comparing his  work and outstanding efforts with others but still not satisfied what he does. He still is not  trusting his capabilities and efforts as best. That complex of not being like others is making him  do comparison. He is calling himself useless or trash although its not like that. His organization  is the most renowned and preferred. I saw him and figured out that he needs condolence from  a trustee friend. I jumped into the field finding it a great opportunity to help him out. Talked to  him as frankly as I could irrespective of any barriers. I started gaining his trust day by day.

Insight and Approach:

And what happened was an ultimate miracle for both of us, this exercise was not just an action  but had a reaction too.  He started to trust me the most and felt a lot better in all this I tried to  tell him his real worth and opened his eyes for what he is doing is amazing.

As I am also an HSP I got a friend to talk to and helped a victim come out of his shell. He not  knowing that I was the same as him changed me too as I trusted him and talked to him the  same way as he did. We both worked out for each other as bicycle wheels, both worked  together.

This course made me realize that I could reach out to more people and just using a small tool of  storytelling can make a lot of people feel much better. Not just feeling better but helping to  emerge the bright shinning stars come out of their shells and inspire others.
