How difficult is it for you to trust others or give up control? Describe your reaction to the Trust Circle. What were your challenges? Explain what you learned about yourself?
so i'm not sure if were supposed to do this question or the other one so i figured i would answer both...um I have a hard time trusting people usually and a very hard time giving up control...I don't think my problem in the trust cirrcle was trusting the people...becuase if i fell i would've laughed to...i think my problem was relazing and giving up control...i needed to focus in and pay attention and I was having a hard time doing that during the trust circle. The cirle taught me a little about my self. I have always known that I'm a very independent person and like to be on my own a good amount of time...I learned that I need to give up control more easily. I was dealing with most of people who were my friends and I had a hard to giving control to them just because thats the type of person I am. I learned that its not easy for me to give up contorl like that and I need to work on things like that...especially in acting and in improv where you need to go with the flow and work off of other people...and clearly im not too good at that and it might be becuase i have a hard time giving up that control...so the trust circle overall was fun and i learned a little about myself too!
Um, maybe it was becasue I did this last year, but i didn't have a hard time with this exercise at first. I just let go. But on the other hand, I freaked out the second it seemed like someone would drop me. Like Jake I probably would have laughed if i fell too, but I think i would have been more wary, and I wouldn't want to do it again, ever. This kind of surprises me because I'm not one for trying things, I just assume I will or won't like it/succeed at it. There was, I think one time where i almost fell, and it was so freaky. So, I learned that giving up control is good, but only in moderation. You can't be so naive as to think that someone will catch you when you fall EVERY TIME. But you kind of can't be afraid to try... pretty confusing, huh? But in all situations, I learned I need to try things, and if it doesn't work out, fine. Trying and failing is better than not trying at all. The trust circle was a nice activity that made me learn about myself, and what I can do to improve myself.
Depending on the person, I can be extremely skeptical with who I trust and who I do not. If the person rubs me the wrong way (ie wrong vibe) then I absolutely won't trust them and they'll have to work hard to prove it and earn my trust, and even then... they'll never have it fully. With people I like though, I think I can be overly trusting to the point of it being dangerous. I know what's safe and what's not but sometimes the boundaries get shaky. I like to believe that people I love won't betray me and so I put my faith in them (which is a problem if they do betray me.) So all in all, it's not difficult if I like the people. As for the Trust Circle, I'm used to that activity. In honesty though, I was never good at it. I was always giggling and twitching because I have this thing about being touched. It just doesn't go well unless I'm completely aware of the contact. However, this time, probably the third or fourth time I've ever done it... I somehow found it extremely easy. One or two people made me nervous, but I put my faith in the fact that these people, even if they hated my guts, wouldn't ever hurt me. And so to let me fall would be a breech of that belief. So I was able to easily give myself up to them. It was kind of anti-climatic. I was expecting a lot of things, like difficulty or some self-realization... but I didn't get any of that. I mean, sure, once I almost lost my composure because they said something funny, but I was able to hold onto my seriousness long enough for my turn to end. I didn't really learn... anything about myself... except that perhaps I have a lot more friends than I realized. But that's not about me is it? I guess this seems really conceited, but it's my honest opinion. I'm not gonna make up stuff to type here just because other people say other things. So I'm sorry if this isn't the reaction you wanted Sunny... but it's all I got.
I hated this. It scared me because I have a trust issue. It was hard for me to give up complete control of my body and just let people catch me. I don't know - I guess I was okay with it because it was my friends...but it was still really difficult for me to just let go. I was afraid of falling, I guess...but mostly, I was kind of afraid of not being caught by my friends after I put my trust in them. I guess I'm looking too deep into this? Buuuuuut Whatever...
I didnt really have a problem with this. I usually have trust issues though, i've learned that people have a hard time keeping things to themselves, even i have a hard time with it sometimes..so i just dont trust people with certian things. I was able to to let myself go during the exercise though, i dont know why,when we have done those sort of things in gym class i'm always the first person to step out...i guess i just felt safe and new my friends would catch me...so basically i just contradicted everything i said..maybe i do trust people with some things. (ps. i cant spell)
IDK... this was a cool activity and I thought it was fun. I had a problem in the begining before i went and i was sooo afraid to go. But once i saw people go i figured it couldn't be that bad. When I ended up doing it i gave my trust pretty easily and i had fun while in the middle. Personally I don't think this game represents how i give my trust to people because I really don't trust a lot of people at all. With that said i don't think this game can represent my trust giving because i usually don't give people my trust very eaisly. BTW... this is Ray again if you haven't figured it out already... haha sorry about the BOWCHICKAWOW guys... :)
Usually giving up trust to others is extremely difficult for me, unless it's with my best friends and even then sometimes I have a hard time trusting them with my secrets, because I won't know how they will judge me. The trust cirlce really managed to freak me out, yeah thanks for that sunny. uhmmm I hate trusting people with my body...I have issues with it and the fact that I allowed myself to give up control, even temporarily...was ridiculous. But I'm glad I did it, because now I know that I do have the ability to give up control even if only for a bit.
Well, this activity was really hard, I've gotta say. First off, we dropped daniele (spelling?right name?) during her turn, and I just felt like the worst person in the enire world. I mean, come on, who drops someone in a trust activity, really, i'm horrible. Then when it was my turn to go I was really nervous. I guess this was because of a lot of things. I don't really know everyone in class that well, so i was kindof edgy in that regard. I kept like, stepping mi foot infront of me and stuff, to like, catch myself. I mean, it's not like I was afraid to fall, i fall on my face all the time, always tripping and stuff. I guess it's just that i'd rather fall on my face then have someone catch me, is that really bad? I'd prefer to do some things on my own. I mean, i'm on teams and stuff all the time, and i dont like being the leader, so i don't think i have control issues, more like trust issues. I guess i'd just rather fall. Uhm, i guess i learned that i need to work on trusting people easier, and taking help more willingly. ^^ - Christie
I really liked the trust excercise that we did. many people had trouble letting go but i didnt. i thought it was really fun actually which probably wasnt the main goal of it but whatever. i learned that i let go pretty easily. even though i barely knew some of the people in my group i found it very easy to just be free with my body and trust that they will catch me. overall i really liked the activity. =]
well i was ok with it till they completely dropped me. I mean who really drops someone when they have them in the palm of your hands. Oh well it was still fun having to be all weightless and giving yourself up to the people around you. So it's not that I don't trust people it's that I would rather not be dropped again.
Well, from past experiences, I have a hard time trusting anyone. Even is that trust is the form of falling into someones hands without looking or letting a group of people lift you off the floor. I tend to step back just before the point where I would fall to the ground or chicken out and let my feet fall before I do when people lift me. I try to get by my trust issues, though it is very difficult for me and sometimes I still find myself unable to fall backwards into someones arms in the hope that they will catch me. Maybe this is symbolic of my trust issues in general. Am I not able to trust anyone, or do I just not allow myself to?
This exercise wasn't hard at all for me. I did feel a little uncomfortable giving up myself to a people who I didn't know very well at the time. It wasn't that I didn't trust them to catch me; it was more the fact of me trusting if they were able to catch me. Normally I'm pretty trusting; I only get nervous about the people I trust when it comes to the bigger things like money, and secrets. But I still had fun and no problem at all. And in the end they didn't drop me and I came out okay. Even if they did drop me I would have been fine, and got a good laugh. I'm tough and that stage would have been no match for me I would have just BRUCE LEE'D IT RIGHT THROUGH THAT STAGE. You all would have saw me rise up and laugh with your mouths hanging wide open. Then I would have gone out, got a diet coke and called it a day. Unfortunately it never came to that.
I always do my best to create a chain reaction of love, compassion, and care to other people who don't understand and need someone by them. I teach them to learn have trust in each other and cooperate through troubled times.
I have a major trust issue, that is why this activity was extremely difficult for me. When Mrs. Sundberg made us go up and do the Trust Circle I was seriously ready to walk out. While we were even up there I said I had already gone when I hadn't. One of my group members ratted me out but I'm glad they did now that I think about it. I now realize that that was a really important exercise. Trusting others, especially in a performance, are really important to a scene. It was really challenging for me to just let go but eventually I did. I learned that if you ease up and learn to trust others you'll feel much better about yourself. This was a really really really good exercise.
i dont have trouble trusting people but i had a problem trusting the people in my circle though. it was most likely because i was bigger then half the people in my group, so i was really afraid that they'd drop me. so it was hard for me to give up total control

So yeah. This was a good exercise Sundberg!
