it is very clear I am close to being interdependent construal type person, I have classified 6 out my list to be “interdependent construal”. Looking at the English proverbs this reminds of “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Strong people don’t give up when they come across challenges. they just work harder… “No man is an island.” You can’t live completely independently…everyone needs help from other people… you must trust someone… “The early bird catches the worm.” this speaks for itself… “There’s no time like the present.” if you need to do something, don’t wait until later. do it now. These are some of the proverbs that I feel that are closely related to me and interdependent construal.
Looking back at what I went through and seeing others go through some things … being resilient is my strongest attribute … with this brings honesty …I have found I must be honest with myself always … this brings honesty with other however, you must have a caring, loving heart with this honesty …
