I had a few inconsistencies in my surveys. And there are also dissonances in my life also. Most people find some way to rationalize their dissonance. At one point in my life, I was the other woman, but in many cases I would label the “other woman” as a home wrecker with no morals till I found myself in that predicament. It caused me a lot of stress and anxiety and even went to a counselor because it was tearing me apart, I did not understand how I could think that yet be the other woman. I somewhat changed my home wrecker belief, and I realized while some girls are out to wreck homes, sometimes things happen and one thing leads to another and then oh crap what am I doing with my life. I was in a limbo of a relationship as well as in a limbo with myself because I was constantly at war with what to do about it and how I felt about it, yet my feelings for him fogged my rational thinking a bit. It took over a year to figure myself out and after my experience I became stronger and more in tune with myself. No one likes when they feel two faced and off balance

 

This was a very good self reflect on the dissonance in my own life. What kept me in my predicament for so long was false hope, which is why I choose this picture.

with the internet and apps such as tinder, bumble, and seeking arrangements it can easily be seen that attraction is key in the start of many relationships when meeting online. As a woman, I feel I am always looking for someone who is not only attractive but also has drive, initiative, and a hard worker. Women seek stability I think naturally because women are more maternal and we want our kids to be taken care of. Its almost instinctive. Whereas men seem to not care about these things and only go for if they are “hot” or not. And this can be seen across all age groups and also seen on every dating site.

 

This takeaway made me think about why we seek what we do in a partner, and why men seek what they do in a partner. It was also good self reflection.

 

Many women want sugar daddies, the man is financially stable and she can live the life she wants, and the men get the young attractive girl. In their minds it’s a win win.

My frequency was pretty mixed. I have many friends who seem happy but I think are relatively selfish because they only think about themselves and what makes them happy. Many of my friends put themselves first and only help others when its convenient for them. However, I think my unselfish friends are generally happier because their intentions are pure and helping and giving to others is the best way to be truly happy. (I’ve always thought Christmas was more fun when you give gifts and to see your gift make someone else happy in turn makes you happy

 

This activity made me think long and hard about my so called friends. I also choose this picture because I agree with this 100%.
