Hello everyone ^^

On May 11th we will be running a discussion on 2 very important topics which are psychology and relationships. I included some of my own questions which are also about mental health because I think it’s not talked about enough. After all a healthy mindset is what will attract success and happiness.

The purpose of this discussion is to know each other better, open up a bit, and hopefully be more comfortable with each other. Everyone’s different and it’ll be fun hearing unique answers to these questions.

Here are the questions from Women.com

1. Are we alone ?

One of the most popular questions today is, “Are we alone in the universe?” Believe it or not, you’re in the minority if you believe that absolutely no intelligent life exists outside of planet Earth.

2. Would you obey and order to hurt someone ?

Adolph Eichmann was one of the architects of the Nazi Holocaust. At the end of the war he was arrested and would have been put on trial with other war criminals but he escaped. Over the next fifteen years, like many ex-Nazis on the run, he lived a very ordinary life in Argentina. Eventually he was tracked down by Mosad agents and taken to Israel to stand trial for horrific war crimes. His defense was so simple it was almost boring. When asked: “why did you do it?” his response was “I was only obeying orders”.

3. Would you be a good eyewitness to a crime ?

Research illustrates that the human mind is not like a tape recorder; we neither record events exactly as we see them, nor recall them like a tape that has been rewound. In eyewitness identifications, witness memory is impacted by a variety of factors that occur from the time of the crime onwards, and their memories can be easily contaminated.

4. Who would you choose as a dinner guest, if you can invite anyone ?

Jesus Christ ? Elvis ? The Pope ? This question, which has been asked many different ways, is an interesting insight into who you value, what information you find interesting, and if you’ve thought about the question before.

5. Would you help someone in trouble ?

Ask yourself or your partner this question and have them go through the litany of questions one would ask themselves about the situation? Would you help a old woman walk across the street ? A Homeless child ? Would you help someone hide a body ?

6. In What Circumstance Would You Steal ?

Where is your moral line? Would you steal food if you and your family are starving ? Or would you steal a car just for a joyride ?

7. Do You Believe In Nature or Nurture ?

The nature vs nurture debate within psychology is concerned with the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (i.e. genetic) or acquired (i.e. learned) characteristics. Which is a stronger influence on who we are ?

8. What does it mean to be self – actualized ?

“Self-actualization” represents a concept derived from Humanistic psychological theory and, specifically, from the theory created by Abraham Maslow. But what does the definition actually mean to you ?

9. What is key to solving life’s problems ?

There is a famous quote from Einstein which goes like this; ‘We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them’.

10. What does a sense of community mean ?

Is it your core group of friends ? Is it your family? Is it the neighborhood you life in ?

11. Would you like to be famous ?

What would you like to be famous for ?

If achieving fame meant that your life would look totally different than it does today, would you be ok with that ?

12. What does death mean ?

Regardless of race, religion, geographical area, or time period, every human has wondered about the one fact of life that unifies us all.

13. Describe your “perfect” day

14. What does it mean to love someone ?

Love: a four-letter-word that gets tossed around in conversations pretty carelessly to describe just about anything. I love your shoes. I love this restaurant. This dog totally loves me.

But what about when it comes to relationships? What does it really mean to love someone ?

15. Do you believe in the afterlife ?

16. What is your greatest accomplishment ?

17. How do you want to be remembered ?

18. How do you overcome bad habits ?

We all have bad habits, or habits that we would like to be replaced with better habits. How do you go about creating new, better habits ?

19. What makes you really angry ?

20. What are your favorite pastimes ?

21. Who is the most important person if your life ?

Dead or alive. Real or fictional. Who has been the most important person in your life?

22. What’s your best personality trait ?

Just like a job interview, think about what your best personality trait is and why. Sometimes thinking of your worst personality trait will help inspire you to realize your best personality trait.

23. Do you wake up happy or sad ?

24. Are you an introvert or an extrovert ?

Are you oriented more towards the outer world or the inner world? Are you most comfortable in throngs of people, or do you prefer the company of few?

25. What makes your heart smile ?

At the end of the day, what allows you to lay your head on your pillow at night and be perfectly happy and content ?

A few questions I decided to add

1. Do you have insecurities ? If so what are they ? (answer only if you’re comfortable)

2. What advice would you give to a friend that is going through a breakup ?

3. What would you want the world to know about you ?

4. What’s you favorite form of self – care ? How often do you have self – care days ?

5. What is something you wish the world would pay more attention to ?

6. What is something you wish the world would pay less attention to ?

7. What motivates or helps you to keep going and be strong when you feel like giving up ?

8. What’s the perfect partner for you ?

9. Describe yourself in one word.

10. Describe the world in one word.

A woman found out that after her husband’s death her sister’s husband tried to steal her husband’s business from one of her friends. The woman thought for a long time and ended up strangling him. She gave his family hell. For ruining her and her kids life for years

I remember getting ready to fly to the US and for some reason, my 9-year-old self thought that it was okay to sing loudly on the plane and I got everyone to stare at me. My mom told me not to sing so loudly but I was still bothering people. I didn’t understand this back then but one of the flight attendants brought out a toy bag for me and I thought she was just being nice but it was actually to make me distracted and shut me up. I don’t blame them though who wants to hear a 9-year-old sing. I remember being really scared when we took off and also when I could hear noises from the bottom of the plane. I was about to write my will. But thankfully we arrived. I’m no longer scared of planes and think the nervous feeling I get in my stomach when it takes off is actually kind of fun.

I’d like to start by saying that Cam is a really fun, smart, and understanding. Our discussions have been about mental health(what to do when you have an anxiety attack, how to help someone else with their mental health, etc.), smoking(cigarettes, puffs, vapes, etc), travelling, and about our future plans and goals. I’ve had a lot of fun discussing different topics with him and honestly time flies when we have Cam over. In the pictures below we were discussing traveling and learning the different between a tourist and a traveler. Everyone was involved in the discussions and everyone enjoyed it. Cam makes our class more fun so I hope we get to have discussions with him more.
