The interview

What was a major takeaway regarding how you handle life events?

I think knowing how to deal with the things that happen in my life effectively and not, kind of, putting them away or like bottling them up and that sort of thing. The skills, I think, are really a big part of this. Knowing how to do resets. I definitely want to remember how that works and remember to do them because future things are going to come up, of course, and being able to deal with those effectively, I think is huge.

What did you learn about the way people perceive the world?

We learned a lot about how we as, like, people deal with some of the stuff that happens in our lives. And also I think how often those things are, kind of, connected and the idea of like 'themes' existing in people's lives and in the things that happen to us and the way that we kind of look at the world. Those themes are kind of reflected in that lens.

How has your perspective on your own biases changed?

That idea that the way that I look at the world is—I think by nature—inaccurate to some extent. In the sense that it's biased towards the things that I've experienced in my life, positive or negative. Also to recognize that that is true for other people, too. And so in my interactions with the people they will have their own biases, I suppose.

How are you applying this to your relationship with yourself?

I think trying to be more understanding with myself in particular. Because something that I really don't do well myself. And I think being understanding is one of the things that I think we all kind of try to work on, generally, you know, in our interactions.

How does this new knowledge impact your interactions with others?

Understanding and using the knowledge that I have now I think that that is really important to understanding interactions with others. Understanding how different people interact and understanding how I interact with people. Even when two people are looking at, like, the same situation, we can have entirely different interpretations because we have different experience.

What is your goal when observing your own thoughts now?

I think that that's a big and that's something that I want to be aware of, I think, when with other people and also kind of with myself. When I look at something that I'm looking at it through a certain lens not necessarily like, this is the full story. Especially when it comes to myself, I'm very judgmental of myself and so I think in that sense, refraining from judgment is important.
