...See more The Project I experience a constant internal monologue, mostly in the form of a stream of random yet connected reflections or scenarios. It is my intention to become more analytically attentive to this monologue and my emotional reactions in general than I have previously been. I want to be able to produce a detailed overview of my minds most important patterns, which I will do separately outside of our discussion. (And possibly develop an initial plan of how to ensure my life will be a fulfilled one, in accordance with those conclusions.) So far, these are the broad areas of investigation I can think of: - Communication - Personality & identity - Tastes & why - Habits & reactions - Fears/insecurities - Relationships - Lifestyle Since I do not come to 7 Cups looking to alleviate any specific problem, I do not expect that to be the centre of our conversation. However, while discussing these areas we might dig up under-analysed problems, which I will want to dwell on a bit longer than other things. The Listener I am looking for a partner in this exploration, whose role would be to: - Encourage me to open-up completely (and maintain that commitment throughout our dialogue) through your communication style - Direct the conversation on one topic at a time and avoid getting lost on endless tangents, give the investigation some structure - Ask enough questions to ensure we cover everything we discuss in as much detail as possible - Help me analyse be providing a second perspective You would have to be willing to: - Experience some awkwardness as a side effect of the depth of the conversation - Be exposed to an unusual amount of honesty and detail about myself, both good and bad (whatever that actually means), and be endlessly patient/open-minded about all of it - Occasionally be show vulnerability too by sharing your own experiences to help me put my own thoughts and experiences - Negotiate how (format/language) and when we will communicate - Take on someone long-term: I expect the project to last anywhere from several months to 3 years (though you have no obligation to be my partner during all of it, just as long as possible) So, the final question: would any of you listeners who have made to this (congratulations XD) be interested in being my partner in this project? P.S. If any willing listener also happens to like Alain deBottons attitude towards people and relationships we will likely get along perfectly… ^^
