Preceptual Proccess

My experience of perceptual process involved courting a girl. I was in my last year in high school and a new female student caught my eye. I made friends with this girl and we bonded just fine.

SENSATION: Our bond or friendship was going really well and started to think she actually liked me because it was very open.

ORGANISATION: In my mind, I began to organize the process with which we arrived at this level. Trying to convince myself that she did  like me.

INTERPRETATION: Weeks passed and  I finally talked to her about how I felt and how I thought she felt about me. Only to be disappointed at the final evaluation or her response.

EVALUATION:  The whole situation was totally different from what I thought it had been. She saw me as nothing but a very good friend, with whom she could have inter personal conversations with.

Put Into Practice - The Authentic Self

How can one better understand his or her authentic self, genuine self or real self through self disclosure? By revealing things about oneself to others, it is possible that a person can better understand his or her authentic self. In my opinion, I think this process will require feedback from whoever  you reveal things about yourself to. Feedback is necessary in the sense that it tends to be accompanied with some sort of evaluation. For instance, in a conversation where i discuss with a friend which career i would be better at  therapy or  law . Because i must have talked about how well i can read people, there is a good chance he or she might say therapy would suit me better for a career. Therefore, I think self -disclosure can help one to discover one's authentic self.

Self-disclose, which involves revealing a lot about oneself, brings in a sense of vulnerability. According to Brene Brown's  lecture, open people, who are people that talk  or reveal a lot about their selves  are whole-hearted and they do not feel comfortable or excruciating being vulnerable. For them, vulnerability helps them discover their authentic selves. Vulnerability, helping one to better understand his or her authentic self is a process where there are positive outcome and negative outcomes, but these work together. shame, fear can be necessary in other for one to figure out what can bring joy, love and belonging.
