Being an introvert hasn’t given me the chance to meet people and socialize because I love my privacy and space and also the fear of being left behind after getting attached to somebody or to a group of people makes me anxious and hypersensitive. Still, If at all I want to have a circle of friends I’ll like to be the motivator and a listener.
Every attribute everyone contributes to a friendship relationship is unique and helpful to the growth of the circle but the role of a motivator and listener Stands out among all because it requires a certain level of understanding and knowledge to be a mutual support to the group/circle.
- [x] Being the motivator in my friendship circle.
As a motivator in my circle, I tend to uplift and inspire my friends through my words, actions, and behaviors.
There’s a saying that says action speaks louder than words.
As the top chef in my restaurant, I don’t always control my workers and partners I communicate and correct them through my actions for instance after the execution of a particular baking job we are supposed to clean our utensils and arrange them where they’re supposed to be instead they leave it till they’re been told to do so but if at all I was the one to execute the job my self I’ll do the needful immediately and they’ll learn from it without being told. that’s me inspiring them with my actions.
So when it comes to inspiring my circle in terms of academics I’ll have to work on myself first to get better grades and at the same time, I would not leave them behind how will I do that?
- Explaining to them what they don’t understand
- Always bringing them along when going to the library to study
- Making it my responsibility to remind them they have to read
- Making learning fun to them
- Always checking in on their academic performances.
Also, I’ll always feed them with words of encouragement and never give up on their dreams and goals.
- [x] Being the listener in my friendship circle
As a listener in my circle of friends, I need to make sure I’ve worked on myself to be able to create a safe space where feelings, thoughts, ideas, and emotions can be shared openly without the fear of criticism.
At this age and time we are currently, everyone is mentally down. They want to share their worries and pain with somebody who won’t judge, take advantage, or criticize them which is why we hear a lot of bad news almost every day about people committing suicide because there’s no one they can confide in and share their worries with.
But as a listener in my circle of friends, I won’t just be a listener I will be a good listener who will try to provide solutions to their problems and worries if at all I can.
Friendship is a very powerful bond that can help us through difficult situations and make us feel better about ourselves if your group/circle of friends is chosen correctly.
