Feedback Thoughts



I had no clue that our brains were wired to feel rejection as physical pain. It makes sense. Rejection is a normal part of living our day to day lives and it can hurt. I am guilty of feeling hurt when I am ignored or shut down by someone I care about. As a student, the best criticism I received was always in my written papers. I always want to improve my writing and those critiques really help. I was well aware that it was not healthy to put yourself down. I am not sure I would make a list of my positive qualities and write a paragraph about myself to improve my self-esteem.



I am a perfectionist, so this article helped me think about a different perspective on things. "What ifs" are constantly in my life. I always want to make the right decisions. Poor coping skills with the unexpected during inconvenient times is something I struggle with. I think that I give myself extremely high standards and when I do not meet them, it is not good for my self-esteem. I will benefit from reading this article in my day to day life.

I would have to say that this class last semester was my favorite. I did not get to finish due to a close family member passing away, but I enjoyed what I was able to do. I worked the majority of my break at O’Connell’s, where I still work now, so I did not get to do much over the break. IZombie, Supernatural, Dexter, The Punisher, and This is Us are just a few of my favorite TV shows. Sleeping with Other People is the best movie I have seen recently. I would not judge the movie by its name. It is actually roman...

Week 2 Story

Adam was the most popular boy in high school. He was the one all the ladies wanted, and all the boys were jealous of. Adam was the definition of perfection. He was intelligent, athletic, and charming. The one boy who hated him the most was Sam. Sam wanted everything that Adam had from the girls falling all over him to Adam’s spot as the quarterback of the football team. It did not help that Adam was also the debate team champion. Sam tried to do everything that Adam did, but never quite measured up. Sam was the third-string quarterback, alternate for every club he was in, and could not get a female to look his way. One day, Sam decided to plot his revenge for always being in Adam’s shadow. Adam was dating Sylvia at the time. Sam had a class with her and asked her to be his partner in chemistry lab. Sam did not think that Sylvia liked Adam that much, so he saw it as a door into Adam’s vulnerability. She was his kryptonite and Sam wanted to make Adam feel weak like he has all these ...
