Who is Who

Do  you know your closest ones?

What should happen for you to say that you know the people in your life?

People tend to say that they know the other party if they are familiar with their family name, age, profession, or anything that could be answered at the very first moment in a meeting. 

“I know him from German class.”, “We used to work at the same workplace as her.”, “The one with blue eyes and a huge smile on his face, right?”, and the sentences go on similarly… 

So, is it enough for one to be in the same room to be acquainted with the other? 

Does having a person's phone number saved on my phone mean that I know them? What about the people I see and greet all the time? 

Let's narrow the circle further: Do I know my deskmate whose family I know what they do and where they are from? My single colleague with whom I have been working together on a project for a long time? 

Let's narrow it down further: Do I know my sibling with whom I live in the same house, eat at the same table and share similar stories? My parents, or my child? My wife with whom I grew old?

Let me ask again the question I asked at the beginning of the article: What should happen for you to say that you know the people in your life?

For someone to get to know the people in their life, they must figure out what makes them nervous, sad, happy, anxious, and so on. 

What makes my father angry the most? 

What would disappoint my spouse? 

Where are the places in life where my close friend needs support and where he has difficulties? What does my brother enjoy doing the most? 

What can I do to make my mother happy? 

What does my dear one expect from his spouse?

Experiential Design Teaching says that the more adjectives we can describe a person, the better we know them.

My father is a calm person, but a loud voice to him makes him angry. 

My brother is a fun-loving person. That's why there is constant activity and action in his life.

My wife likes to talk, but if she's down, she would be too sorry to say a word. On the strength of her silence, I can tell that she was disappointed. 

To get to know the people in our lives, we need to know how they will react to specific occurrences. We need to be able to describe them with certain adjectives. We need to be able to guess why they did what they did. Only that way can we truly get to know the people in our lives and understand who is who.

However, in the current scenario, most people do not even know the people closest to them, passing them by with cursory information and a few questions. They think they know each other when they have information that can be obtained only in a five-minute meeting. 

What about you?

Do you know “Who is Who?”
