Interviewing Emotions

Improved Essays
My emotions behind the interviewing were kinda just regular but I liked the whole idea. I did connect to the person I was talking to. We did get off topic, had a real conversation. I was happy I got to talk to someone I did not usually talk to but it wasn't about school related. It was about our life outside of school.
The question that was most difficult to answer wasn't one specific one it was several. When we got to part 2 and 3 I couldn't come up with answers.

I think its a worse world because it just isn't the same. You will never be on the same level of emotion through a screen without seeing the person and the way they react. Maybe a phone call is a little better because you can hear their reactions to things. But face to face will never beat it, you could also face time but if the person is feeling upset you could never reach over and hug them or comfort them the same

In the recording I just ran through the questions speaking with more general and broad ideas.…
