Ways to Perceive Others
Recently I was having a call with one of my friend’s daughter. She was telling me how her friends & loved ones criticised her and she was trying to behave in certain way to please them. She was not happy and was asking me to help.
It was strange for me to notice that we start perceiving others in a certain way from a very early age & behave accordingly.
It so happened that I was reading the book Life’s Amazing Secrets by Gaur Gopal Das.
He had mentioned about 5 ways we human perceive others:
1.Seeing only bad and magnifying it
2.Seeing good and bad, neglect the good and focus on the bad
3.Seeing good and bad and being neutral to both
4.Seeing good and bad, choose to focus on the good and neglect the bad.
5.Seeing the good and magnifying it
Sometimes when we feel not good enough due to criticism from others then we try to magnify the good in others & become people pleaser which may not be good in long run.
The ideal one is the fourth stage. But it’s not an easy one.
Both me & my little friend got our answers and understood Self Awareness is very important life skill.
Do share your thoughts: Have you noticed how you perceive others.
