1.0 INTRODUCTION

Horney believed that we have two views of ourselves. The "real self" and

the "ideal self". The real self is who and what we actually are. Examples would

be parent, child, sister, etc. The real self contains potential for growth, happiness,

will power, realization of gifts, etc. The real self has deficiencies that the neurotic

does not like. The ideal self is the type of person he feels that he should be and

is used as a model to assist him in developing his potential and achieving self-

actualization (Engler 125).

1.  A good relationship is one where intimacy develops slowly from a friendship

to a commitment. 

2.  A good relationship is one that is based on a commitment. You feel secure

about the future of the relationship. 

3.  A good relationship is one where two people do need each other.  

4.  A good relationship is a partnership that is based on friendship and respect. 

5.  A good relationship is one where there is a true intimacy of revealing and

sharing yourself with your partner as he/she reveals and shares himself/herself

also. 

6.  A good relationship is one where two individuals can resolve conflict in a

peaceful and calm manner. 

7.  A good relationship is one where both individuals see themselves as

partners. 

8.  A good relationship is one where two people maintain an enthusiasm about

the other’s hobbies, work, and friends. 

3

9.  A good relationship is one where each partner has a circle of friends and

interests outside the relationship. 

10.  A good relationship is one where there is talk of a future together. 

11.  A good relationship is one where both parties balance each other in taking

actions to make the relationship work.

the respondents who agreed with the statements and those who did not

agree,marked the false box.

During the answering session,some of the teachers were given a short

5.0 REPORT

Based on the bar chart and pie chart, I can conclude that the people in

Group 1 and 2 mostly are in the style of moving towards people. The paradigm

and style leads them to move towards other people and situations. They value

relationship, connection, support, building up. Their natural tendency is to affirm,

embrace, and approve. If they over do this tendency, they may become cloying,

co-dependent, and crippling, ironically, the opposite of what their best self

intends. They become overly solicitous and flattering.56% of the people in Group

2 move toward people while only 20% of them move away from people.

The move away from people group, stepping back to allow others to stand

on their own two feet. They also move inward to discover and develop their own

creative sources and affirm their own agenda. They move away from others

because they feel hurt, misunderstood and underappreciated or because they

feel special and priviledged because of all they have done for others.Foe Moving

against people,both Group 1 and 2 have the same percentages which is

24%.They move against others, setting boundaries and limits, expressing their

own needs, and making requests of others. They are clear about who they are

and what they are responsible for and challenge others to accept responsibility

for themselves. They move against others in an aggressive rather than an

assertive manner, imposing their services on others, becoming critical and

domineering. They may fantasize or seek revenge for feeling used and taken

advantage of. Or they might push others away, claiming they don’t need them.

The style contains characteristics of moving against are competitive,

proactive, go-getters. They get things done by aggressively working towards their

goals. They tackle problems and overcome obstacles with gusto.Sometimes this

people can get caught up in Type-A behavior where they over-work themselves

and their team, raising the bar of competition along with their blood pressure.

6.0 SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

In a real-life situation,a main reason is due to the prominence of the

affective aspect of the user experience. In particular, feelings of social

embarrassment often act as a barrier. For public interaction to become a more

acceptable mode of social activity requires the purpose behind it and how it is

manifested around and at the display to have strong physical and social

affordances, that people can easily and unambiguously pick up on. There also

needs to be a highly visible means of conveying this, which enables the public to

rapidly develop their conceptions of the purpose of the social activity, and to be

able to move seamlessly and comfortably between being an onlooker and a

participant. One means of achieving this is to design ways of encouraging people

to cross the thresholds from peripheral awareness to focal awareness, to

participation and back again, without becoming selfconscious I agree that

relationships are absolutely key to making life worthwhile. Don’t give up and

separate happiness from friends. Although you shouldn’t be “dependent” on

others, there’s nothing wrong with the feelings of comfort, happiness, belonging,

and a sense of place that come with your own friendship circle.

I would also say that happiness with others will come as a result of

happiness with yourself. No one likes a person that’s critical, sarcastic, negative,

or complains all day. Be happy with yourself and others will see the radiance

within you and gravitate to it. Isn’t it fun meeting new people when you can just

see them beaming with joy from a mile away? It’s great being around them,

too.Stick with it, look for opportunities to meet others on a personal level, and

relationships will come naturally.The form of interaction needs to be very

lightweight and visible from the offset; it should be easy to do and importantly,

not embarrassing to recover from mistakes that are made. Participants need to

be able to learn how to interact with the system vicariously, rather than be told or

have to follow a set of instructions. They need to be able to simply walk up and

use it, having watched others do the same. The interface needs to be clear to the

person such that they are reassured that their interaction with it will be a low

12

commitment activity, that will be quick to do and enjoyable. When a person

suffers from intense shyness or social anxiety, being around other people can

trigger very intense feelings of anxiety and panic.  For a shy person, being in a

social situation can cause unpleasant physical sensations such as sweating,

trembling, and hyperventilating.  These uncomfortable physical sensations may

also be accompanied by intensely negative self criticism and feelings of acute

shame and embarrassment.

For some shy people, avoiding others may seem to be the best solution

they can think of.  As soon as they rush away from a social situation they feel an

intense inner sense of relief.  No longer do they need to worry as much about

feeling embarassed by their social awkwardness.  No longer do they need to

worry that everything they say sounds stupid, and they feel less worried about

what others are thinking about them. Ironically, many people who are very rude

or abrupt with others, who don’t get involved in conversations, or who walk away

quickly from social encounters, are perceived by others to be stuck up or

conceited. The truth is that these people feel terribly uncomfortable in social

situations.  By avoiding interacting with others, they try to hide their shyness and

social discomfort.

Although avoiding others is a very common technique used by many shy

people, this social avoidance will actually make their problem worse.   Not only is

their fear of being around other people likely to grow if they keep avoiding others,

but people who are shy will feel even more lonely and less confident the longer

they avoid social interactions. So, a shy person who may already be very lonely

will become even lonelier.  He will lose out on opportunities to make new friends

and to learn constructive ways of improving his social skills.Therapists who

specialize in treating shyness often recommend the exact opposite

approach. Instead of allowing the shy person to continue to run away from social

situations, the therapist will encourage the shy person to gradually have more

exposure to the type of social situations they fear most, and to participate more

fully and more frequently in social interactions. 

13

So if you have been hiding from others because you want to avoid your

feelings of shyness, keep in mind that you have a better chance of overcoming

your shyness and making more friends if you don’t run from social situations. 

Instead, make an effort to stay at social events longer, talk to more people more

often, for a longer period of time, and give yourself a lot of credit for every social

interaction you have.
