1. I am very good at conversing with people. This allows me to get points across to them while also gaining insight into their psersonakity and forming strong relationships.
2. I am very creative. Given enough time, I can come up with a concept for nearly any invention or subject; maybe something not extremely optimal, but enough to pass until given more time and resources.
3. I am good at improvising. If put on the spot, I can almost always pass myself off as knowing what I’m doing, regardless of how much I actually know.
4. I know when to apply emotion. When it comes to winning people over, emotion is a key factor; so when it comes to a situation in which people are unsure of who to side with I can use emotions effectively enough to gain support.
5. I’m very observant. No matter where I am, I’ve always been very observant of my surroundings. Whether it’s reading the air of a room or carefully listening to key points in a presentation, I usually pick up on key points.
Interviews
1. Mom
Me: “So what makes me special?”
Mom: “Well, you’ve always made a presence whenever you enter a room. Between your charm and personality, people generally pay attention to you, regardless of the emotions they exude to you. Those that admire and follow you end up being your friends, those that don’t only envy you. You know this from your elementary and middle schooling.”
Me: “Yeah, I know. Anything else you can think of?”
Mom: “I’m sure there’s a lot more, like your improv, good looks, smarts,... what’d I miss?”
Me: “I think that’ll be enough, thanks Mom”
Summary: It’s clear that my mother would have a very high opinion of me, she always has. In any case, she confirms most of my points, especially the first.
2. Girlfriend
Me: “What makes me special?”
Girlfriend: “Good looks, funny, smart, witty, derpy, good at giving hugs, good at-“
Me: “Alright, alright, I get it. Thanks for the help.”
Summary: My girlfriend has quite the bias towards me when it comes to my description. So, while I trust her opinion of me, I think there is at least some bias when it comes to her description of me.
3. Adrian
Me: “So what makes me special.”
Adrian: “What do you mean, like academically?”
Me: “No, like in general.”
Adrian: “Well I guess you’re very determined when it comes to what you do, from school to gaming you always try your hardest.”
Me: “That’ll do.”
Summary: When it comes to my good friends, I can usually rely on them for help and support. Here is no different, when it comes to Adrian, I know I can rely on him for honest opinions about myself, so I trust this opinion and can attest to this being true.
4: Arthur
Me: “So what makes me special?”
Arthur: “Uh, I guess you’re good at what you do. You generally do your work and don’t even need to study after. That kinda what you’re looking for?”
Me: “Yeah, I guess that works.”
Summary: Arthur isn’t a major friend of mine, but someone I’m comfortable relying on. I figured his response would be something along these lines.
5. Alex
Me: “So what makes me special?”
Alex: “Well the one thing I can say for sure is that even though I haven’t known you for long, you’ve been very friendly to me. Not in a way that’s simply token-like, but as someone who genuinely wants to take interest in me as a person.”
Me: “Well, I really appreciate that, thank you.”
Summary: Even when it comes to people who I’ve only just met, it’s clear that they think of me as someone personable. I always try to make my best effort to show others that I’m someone who they can come to for help and advice. I try to show others that I can be a friend.
Reflection:
When it comes to how I see myself in comparison to others, the similarities are blaring. But this was obvious to me, I’m always as open with others as I can be. Sometimes, maybe too open. But I usually limit my transparency to family and close friends. The only major difference I find is in determination. Personally, I think I’m only truly determined when it comes to something I truly believe in. I will not put blind faith into something unless I truly think there is merit to it. As for what I would change, I woactuslly change the creativity for determination, simply to better explain the type of determination I hold.
