Deep dives
The importance of relationships and interactions in shaping our identities
Our sense of self is constructed through our relationships and interactions with others. This process of social creation is fundamental to our understanding of who we are. It is through these connections that we learn about the world and how to be human in it. Our identities are not static, but rather evolve and expand as we engage with others. The closer we are to someone, the more our identities overlap, blurring the lines between ourselves and others. This interplay between individuals shapes our sense of self and provides us with a deeper understanding of our influence in the world.
