Q2 5-Hour Personal Challenge Proposal
So, I want to do something different for my personal challenge this quarter. It can't exactly be measured in hours and it might not even be a valid idea, but I'm going to propose it in any case. I'm really horrible to my brother. As a person. For some reason, every single thing he says or does makes me angry, even natural things that don't bother me when they come from my friends. Inexplicably, I have an innate zero-tolerance policies when it comes to him. I know most siblings don't get along too well, but I guess I feel instinctually like I'm unusually and unnecessarily hard on him. Generally, I feel pretty good about myself as a person, but after I get upset with him or while I'm feeling frustrated by him I have this horrendous sense of myself in me as well as the feeling of anger. Basically, even though I feel as though I can't help but be horribly mean to him, I have no respect for myself because of it. SO: for this quarter I want to try really really hard to be nice to my brother. I try sometimes, but it's like trying to stop biting my nails... it never actually happens. Sometimes if I buy donuts afterwards. But not really. So maybe for homework it will work. If it works out, I feel like as a social science project it will end up helping both me and him and hopefully show me a better coping strategy / relationship sense to work with.
