In this episode Drs Heim tackle one student’s question about the difficulties, you encounter when you compare yourself with other people. They take a positive spin on comparing and then answer a question regarding forming friendships in groups that are a bit “clicky.” They finish off having a really important discussion about cultural comparisons. Along the way … Caroline talks about the “tyranny of cool” and Christian discusses some acceptance issues of some celebrities he has treated.
How do you stay true to yourself when friends, social media and the world around you are pulling you in different directions? In part two of this three-part series, Christian speaks to Caroline’s first-year students about accepting who you are, having the courage to be different, and practical ways to discover your identity. He also explores how we can accept ourselves while still continuing to change.
