Describe an interesting person that you have not met in person and would like to know more about

Part 3 Follow Up Questions
1. Are there any differences in the relationship between you and your friends and between you and other people?
Of course, I am much more honest and direct with my friends. I know my friends well and I know their limits and what is tolerable to them. On the other hand, with strangers I am always afraid of saying or doing something that might hurt their feelings. So, I am much more reserved and sometimes I hide my true feelings in front of others.
2. Do people feel lonely in crowded cities?
Yes surprisingly although we are geographically surrounded by people in cities, emotionally we are much farther apart. Because of the busy lifestyle, people don’t find time to interact and form close bonds with their neighbours and friends. Thus, more and more people are facing problems of depression and loneliness in cities.
3. Where and how can people get to know new people?
I think one of the best places to meet new people is celebrations like weddings, anniversaries and birthday parties. People can also meet strangers while travelling or visiting new places. I think getting to know people is all about spending time with them. For example, while travelling I used to play games with the fellow travellers and this way I learnt a lot about them.
4. Can clothing tell and reveal a person’s personality?
Yes, I think appearance and clothing preferences can give a pretty good idea of a person’s personality. For example, a person who wears informal clothes like T-shirts and Jeans is much more likely to be carefree and casual. Similarly, people who usually dress formally in public, are more disciplined.
5. Why do individuals from the same family have different personalities?
I think personality is influenced not only by upbringing but many other external factors like media, teachers and friends. Also, gender influences behaviour as most families treat boys and girls differently.
6. How does society influence a person’s personality?
We are social animals. It is our basic tendency to conform to the standards set by the society. If people don’t adhere to the morals and ethics laid out by the society, they are afraid of being left out and being a social outcast. So, in a way, people try to match their behaviour with what’s considered normal and fit into the world around them.
