Help?

Instructiona: Directions: Be as clear and detailed as possible to allow him/her to see the situation from your perspective. Imagine yourself in the scenario below and respond to the following prompts: (1) How do you respond to the situation, if at all?; (2) What would be your emotional response and what triggered these emotions?; (3) What stands out to you most about this situation?; (4) If this were someone else, what advice would you give them?; and (5) Have you ever experienced a situation like this? Explain. Scenario #2: You arrive at school/work and notice that people divert their eyes away from you when you walk by, they seem to be avoiding any form of interaction, and any expression directed toward you is one of malice and disgust. You go to your advisor/supervisor to ask what may have happened and you are told the following: "Sit down, now, you know that perception is reality. Well, it was brought to my attention by several others that you have been bullying others around you by undermining their efforts and saying derogatory remarks about them. I am very concerned about your lack of professionalism and unwillingness to get along with others. Either ou need to seriously change how you treat others or consider whether or not you are a good fit here After the sudden surprise, you go speak to a trusted confidant that you have had a close relationship with for three years and are stopped by someone else who you do not know well but e familiar with. Still surprised at being accused of something that is not in your nature, he telling who told me you are a bully." As you walk away, you remember that Rs birthday was doctor's appointment. Why didn't R come and talk to you? Why would she go to such lengths says, "I don't know if it is true or not, but you may not want to talk to R. She is the one last week, and you were invited to a lunch party but could not make it because you had a to demoralize you and put your character into question? Are you really that bad of a person and you were just never aware?

Explanation / Answer

the response to the situation would not be very easy. This is because it is an emotional toll. To imagine that one of my most close acquaintances would rumor about me, because of a birthday party, is not something any mature person would do. In such a situation, I would want to ask them, but I am afraid of what the confrontation would yield. I would still overcome my fear, and go and talk to R about this. There would be a mixture of emotional responses, starting with disbelief, since it wouldn’t be very easy for me to believe that R would do such a thing for me. This would be followed by confusion as I would want to clear out the situation, talking straight with R. I was hurt to know that R could do such a thing to me. There might be a tear or two. Followed by this there would be build up of anger, which would give me the strength to confront R. In this situation, what stands out most, is the emotional toll that might occur when a person whom you trust the most might would do immature things and defame you. I believe, it is not correct to spread wrong information, about a person, especially when they haven’t done it. More so, when they are one of your closest people. What stands out is, I have not confronted R or talked to her, but there are these series of emotions, that have already developed. I would give them the advice to talk to their friend directly and ask them why they might have done this, rather than believing on a third party. No, I haven’t experienced this kind of a situation.
