What was the fear project and what was it about?
The fear presentation by Jennifer B probably hit me the hardest only becasue I can relate to her fear of rejection. She had everyone write down a time where we've felt rejected and a time when we've done the same towards someone else. I've felt rejected a lot in the dating scene because although I have had a fari number of "girlfriends," they never last longer than a few months and they break up with me for whatever reason. This has made trusting girls that show me any affection very difficult and any that do decide to date me, I have a mental clock that starts ticking until the inevidetable breakup occurs. On the flip side, I've noticed I compare every girl that ends up liking me to my exes and if thier appearence isn't similiar or better than one of them, I become an asshole so they won't like me anymore.
Why did you respond to it so strongly?
Like I said before, I relate to the topic very much. When thinking of my own fears prior to the presentations, rejection was one of them but I couldn't think of a creative way to present it. I think Jennifer had a very good presentaion for that fear and I couldn't have done it better myself.
How does it impact how you see your own project and your own creative journey?
It impacts my own creative journey by showing me that rejection is a part of everyone's life and even though I'll probably feel it many times in my future professional career, the important thing is that I pick myself up after and keep going forward regardless. In terms of my own project, I kind of wish I would've incorporated the rest of the class in mine by having people write down worse fears or bigger things going on in the world to put their own in perspective.
