This week, I was able to find my protégé for this weekly happiness self-assessment. He is a friend of a friend that I was able to meet recently and he agreed to be my partner for this class. When I asked him how he would rate his happiness before we did the “fast friends” activity he said a 5 on a scale of 1-10, ten being extremely happy. We did the “fast friends” activity together. On answering the questions, we did get to know each other more. The activity did help us understand each other more and show each other a part of our personalities. When the activity finished, I asked how happy he felt now. He said the activity didn’t improve his happiness. The activity being something required acted as a wall from actually trying to be friends.
