Does Bae Respect Your Boundaries

At the event, does bae respect your boundaries, they had us all sit in a
classroom and they went over different relationship problems/scenarios on a
slideshow. In each scenario was a problem and we had to identify the
problem, what we would do different and tell what we would do to fix it. Most
scenarios were about college experiences like drinking/smoking, roommates,
talking to guys/girls, abuse, sex, parties and more relatable topics. Attending
this events, I learned how other people handle their relationship problems.
This event taught me the importance of communication and how
miscommunication can mess up a good friendship or relationship. I learned
healthy relationships can make life so much easier. Practicing healthy
relationships now can help you out in the future and help you be successful.
A big saying that I took away from this event was to listen to understand
and not to respond. We tend to always worry about what we are going to
say back and is not listening to the other person. They also talked about
lose-win & win-win situation from habit 7 book. Many people when in a
relationship try to win rather than listen to the other person problems or
people just jump to conclusions. Or either both people dont listen to each
other and its a lose-lose situation Overall this events was a good thing for
college students to hear. What I liked about the event was that we could
speak our mind without being judged. They had many familiar topics.
Something they could have changed would be adding more things to do
rather than just talk about scenarios or either have videos to watch so its
not just a repetition the whole time. Because after a while the concept did
get boring. The good outweighed the bad though with this event.
