From the author: What I thought about after the first meeting of a long-term psychological groupThe first meeting of the “Evening Psychological Group”Yesterday the first meeting of our new group took place. What happens in such groups at the beginning? Of course, this means getting the participants to know each other and developing rules for the group. But rules are rules, and I’m more about getting to know each other. How is it for you to get acquainted? Exciting or anxious, interesting or scary? Have you thought about this? Do you often meet people? Have you ever had to choose a person to date? Please note that now we are not talking about a sexual partner, we are talking about communication. In our everyday life, in professional life, many often have to meet each other and maintain a wide variety of contacts, without thinking or asking themselves - why do I need these people? Are they necessary? Do I even want to know them? And if I want, then who exactly? How much? Do I just want to say hello when passing by, or do I want to be close and long-term friends? Are you able to choose those with whom you get to know and communicate? Will there be a difference between acquaintances, friends, close friends, or is your distance always the same? Is it possible to feel a true, genuine interest in the Other, or does any communication become a habit and become a routine part of life? How often does it happen that life is simply “littered” with an endless number of acquaintances and even “friends”, and call in a difficult moment and talk about painful things? no one. So how did this happen? This is how the note turned out, mainly from questions. Psychologists are more adept at asking questions than at giving answers.!:)
