“INDIVIDUALISM AND COLLECTIVISM IN MY LIFE”

# data[].attributes.body
Individualism

Sometimes being individualist person helps me to be more responsible. As i age i became more sensitive about supporting myself financially, I’m not saying that you should stop depending on your parents. In some ways i just don’t like to depend on anyone else so if I wanted something I’ll make sure that i have my own money to spend without worrying someone especially my parents.

Collectivism

As a Collectivist person, my relationship with other people always matter. If we have goals as a group we need to consider and ask everyone’s opinion. I need to show my willingness to help, to listen, and value my relationship towards others so my particular need and wants won’t be important than the needs or interest of everyone else because we will work as a group.

I am collectivist. Family is the first group a person belongs to.  I grew up in a large family. My family influenced my career choices in life. I like sharing thoughts and exchanging things with them. Decisions are based on what is best for the entire family. We support each other because it is essential.

I always express my gratitude to my family to show that I care about them. When I'm with them, I always pay attention. Part of building a strong family is being able to rely on others by supporting and helping them during their difficult times, because I believe this will bring my family closer together.

I consider myself as an individualist. I am self-sufficient, and for me winning is everything. I enjoy being in competitive situations. I believe that whatever success or failure I experience is entirely due to my own actions. Because success is usually the result of my hard work and patience. I enjoy giving opinions, doing my own thing or working alone, and I always value my privacy.

# data[].attributes.body
I interpret myself as an individualist because I always believe that I should make my own decisions because when the time comes, I only have myself and sometimes I tend to keep all my doubts to myself and also because I have more responsibility in the future and I am an older daughter, so I need to make the best decisions regarding what I want because it will affect my own future. Also, when I was in junior and senior year, I always had my friends with me, so I was very overwhelmed, but now that I'm in college, I feel more lonely, and I believe it's time for me to learn more, especially during this pandemic.

# data[].attributes.body
I define myself as a collectivist because I tend to ask everyone's opinion regarding my decisions, especially my parents. In terms of my friends, I prefer to work in a group rather than alone because I believe it's beneficial to have some people with whom you can share your thoughts, understanding, and goals, and I believe that I feel good whenever I was working with a group of people because I feel lonely whenever I was alone.

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever I feel like every one is busy with their own lives, I would never disturb them. I tend to focus on myself, and to accomplish my task alone. I know to myself that I can accomplish things that I needed to do without the help of anyone. I always put in my mind that I have my life and they have their lives. They can't be with me anytime I want them, and this is why I learned to have my individualism self. When my friends and classmates ask for my help, it is fine with me, I will help them without hesitation, but when it comes to me and my study, I seldomly ask for help, I accomplish my task without asking anyone for help.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed hanging out with my friends, I enjoy their company's. I love to help everyone. I sometimes wanted to be with them whenever there is a task we needed to accomplish, it feels like the task would be easier to finish when there is someone to help you out.
Sometimes when I wanted to be enlightened with a particular things I tend to ask for advice from them and for their suggestions. When I turned Grade 11 I realized that I need people in my life in order to grow and to develop myself, in order to learn new things. I learned that being alone wouldn't be nice at all, when there is someone you can ask for support and help.

Walang sinuman ang nabubuhay, para sa sarili lamang
Walang sinuman and namamatay, para sa sarili lamang
Tayong lahat ay may pananagutan sa isat isa

When I was a kid I use to sang that song without understanding the lyrics, but then as I grow older and I 've experience new things in my life, I just realized that, yes, it is true, no one live for their selves, for their own. We people need each other, we have responsibilities to each other, and we can not just neglect that thing.

# data[].attributes.body
I see my self in collectivism as a captain ball when I was playing a volleyball before my mindset always said that we need to win by helping each other just like in our life, we sometimes need a companion to get what we want nor to be a successful, there is a thing that you cannot do on your own. I love helping people by not expecting give back from them, especially people that always respecting my individualism as a person.

# data[].attributes.body
Being independent person is defining my individualism because I am taking care of myself without depending on anyone also I have goals that I want to achieve by myself without rules by others. And I can make decisions without fear because I know myself, I know my worth, and I know how to valued myself and I can say that no one can drag me down.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on my experience with individualism. I work by my own that's why i can support my needs and financial like buy a dress, food. I usually work on my own, so I can save money. I can't buy everything or Expensive things but at least financially or what i want to buy for myseky,my money will be spent. And also I've been experienced in my life especially this school year, I just started doing activities and homework by my own because my friends and I, will have a different course.
When it comes to collectivism, because everything i do i need mama's permission first, In doing activities i will ask my friends help me for doing the video or pictures activity. It also enjoyable to finish the task with friends. Because you can celebrate after that, Instead of Individualism yes I can do it by my self but after that it seems like you're not happy what i mean you cant get rid of stress because it's really different when you work with someone because you can learned something.

Happiness is where I can be myself with no judgement.

# data[].attributes.body
Being alone, sometimes, makes me feel at ease. I can do anything that will make me happy by just simply vibing to my favorite songs. I can finally decide for myself now. As I grew older, I casually recognized my priorities and my wants. I came to realize that I don't need to depend on something or someone because I can also help myself. I know my worth, and I don't need to be with someone who doesn't see me the way I see myself.

# data[].attributes.body
How blessed I am to meet strangers turned into a friendship that I will cherish forever. I consider my friends as my second family. They knew some of the secrets my family doesn't. Whenever we hang out, we prioritize the wants of the majority. If one of our friends doesn't like the idea of something, we immediately cancel it out because it is important that all of us must enjoy and be happy when we're together.

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever I feel hurt or have a breakdown every night, I don't let anyone see or know that because I don't want them to worry about me. Being individualistic is not easy at all, but I have learned a lot and am learning to be independent. Yes, being independent. I can buy my things i want with my own because i work hard. I'm not depending on those people who have decisions about me because I have my own choices and my own decisions. I also have my own goals in my life without any permission from anyone. because I can do whatever I want, but I know my limitations. Day by day, especially on the days when I'm hurt badly, I see what my true worth is and it's okay to be alone, it's okay to not always have a person who is there for you. I will and I can accomplish my dreams without any help from anyone because I believe in myself, even though I have a lot of doubts about myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I identify myself as a collectivist person, when it comes to my friends and family and simply to the people that I know i can rely on. I always care about these people's feelings and I could say that I will put their well being first if I were to make an action that would involves them. I am very reliant on a person that I know I can trust and I know wouldn't let me down, in which is kind of a good thing, because in that way i would know who the real ones is.

# data[].attributes.body
I love my circle of friends, and they know that friendship is really important to me. I love my different kinds of friends because we support each other, we support our own goals and help each others for the hard times because we believe "We help each other because we have a dream"
when they are with me. I am the type of person who is always willing to help, willing to listen to their hard times, and willing to protect them at all costs. Even if I know for myself that my decisions for that can destroy one things, but I don't care. But in terms of having to make decisions on important things, that i can have a hard time to think. I really ask for their advice or suggestions like "what can I do?" because their answers really help me to know what the right things are. In Grade 11 and My childhood friends made realized to that

"Even if someone leaves you, we are still with you no matter what."

That's why I always express my care for them, I always express love to them, and I always support them for what they do. Because I am so blessed to have them.

When it comes to my family and friends, I see or identify as a collectivist person. I'm the type of person who is able to socialize and interact with people from different walks of life. As a result, collectivism is created. If I make a decision about school, I always seek my parents' permission before going. They described me as a sociable person because when I'm with my friends, I always share my life experiences, I can express myself clearly, and if I have a problem, we end up hanging out to have some fun. Also, when I play volleyball, it's critical that we work together to support each other and prioritize our goals in order to have a successful team. We emphasize on the concept that the group is more essential than the individual for this.

# data[].attributes.body
When I make a decision in life without seeking approval from others and without hesitation or doubt, I consider myself to be an individualist. So, individualist comes into play when I complete a task independently even without confusion, and when I refuse to let others make decisions for me. If I want something, I have to work hard for it and get it on my own. ​Sometimes I like being alone to distract myself from the idea that I feel obligated to meet society's standards or to satisfy those around me. Some people never have the opportunity to live their dreams. I've had the experience of being free and making my own decisions on the spot without seeking the advice of others. I always tell myself that one day I'll be able to live on my own terms that are best for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I see myself as being an individualist person when I do a lot of things and I don't want other people to criticize my work. I like to do things in my own way rather than imitating other people. but in this case, it is applicable in my home life. and also for not depending on anyone else to support my personal needs and the money that I used for my agenda is the money that came from my hardships.

Just now

I identify myself as an individualist person, when it comes to my personal goals and achievements that I want to achieve. I often work on my own specially when it comes to tasks that I am confident that I could do alone and with ease. I also am much comfortable doing tasks alone, without relying to anyone because in that way I can focus more, and be more productive all by myself. I also enjoy solitude when it comes to solving my own personal problems. Although I couldn't say that I am that I am independent enough, I could say that I am on my way there.

# data[].attributes.body
I define myself as an individualist because we need to be  independent in our own lives because we have a lot of responsibilities that we have encountered in our lives. For example,in high school days,you have a lot of friends who are there for you to help you,but in college life,you need to be independent because your own goal and journey to accomplish that is your own choice to make because no one else can obtain that except you.

# data[].attributes.body
I characterize myself as collectivist because I am a kind person who enjoys being there for other. I usually seek approval from people making decisions,and I defend myself in difficult situations. Because I sometimes believe that before I make a decision or do something that bothers me,it is preferable to hear the opinions of others before I make my own decision in order to make better decisions and achieve the success that we want.

As a member of a devotional group about sharing the word of god before, it was a pleasant experience since we are a group of individuals who share a wealth of information and experiences about how powerful God is. and the general purpose of a devotional is to encourage people to join our group and also sharing spiritual growth. Not all spiritual journeys are the same, so different devotionals serve different purposes. This includes individual devotions, group devotions, or family devotions. we also welcome those people who wish to join us in sharing God's message, however, I, unfortunately, left my group to focus on my academics.

# data[].attributes.body
I like to have an alone time to take care of myself and also, I like to work on my own pace like to be planned out what I’m going to do. and I like to spend my own money rather than ask some money for my parents to support my personal needs because I want to spend money that comes from my own hard work.

# data[].attributes.body
As a club member of dance club when we are going to pull up some routine to perform in some school activity. we are going to decide on what genre that we must do or what steps should we create. and we are always open on some suggestion that the group have and were going to vote what is the best to perform in some sort of school activity.

“Success doesn't come and find you, you have to go out and find it"-Kushandwizdom. If you wait for someone to find you and help you to succeed it gonna take a lifetime for that person to find you. So It's better to succeed individually than as part of a team, because you don't have to depend on anyone to get the work done and you don't have to share your credit. For me, it means you need to find your success in your own because no one will do it for you. You need to work for yourself, because you have your goals.  Example is that you want to be a successful flight attendant. You have to get it by your own and do not depend on someone. You have to be hardworking because of your goals.

I consider myself an individualist. I've grown to appreciate being alone and at peace as I've become older. I enjoy spending time alone at our house with our dogs and cats. I also learnt that my friends are not always available to help me when I need them. We all have different roles and responsibilities in our life. I need to be self-sufficient, especially when it comes to making life decisions. Sometimes I want to accomplish things on my own; of course, there is fear, but I need to overcome it on my own. I like to do things on my own because I dislike it when others tell me what to do or interfere with what I'm doing. Being an individualist also allows me to create a variety of things and to be a more responsible person.

# data[].attributes.body
I define myself as an indivualist because  sometimes, I just want to be me, I don't need others because I know in myself that even if I'm the only one I can. we have responsibilities so we can't say that those close to us are always there to help or guide us. sometimes, we also need to learn and not train ourselves to be there because they will not be with you for lifers. and yes we can say that we are with you for life but it is better if you train yourself so that when you know there is nothing there for you you can do it even if you are alone.

I have a circle of friends from school, church, and my neighborhood, among other places. I enjoy spending time with them since I always feel happy when we're together. We were laughing until our stomachs hurt and we were out of breath the entire time. When I'm with them, they become my happiness. When we're together, we enjoy making jokes, taking pictures, dancing, and singing. I enjoy working with my groupmates, especially in school, because my brain is not broad enough to work and think things through on its own. I prefer it when people help with a task that needs to be completed. When we work as a group, it makes the job go faster. My friends are really important to me, and I treasure them greatly.

# data[].attributes.body
I define myself as an Collectivism, I'm the type of person who is easy to get along with. especially when it comes to friendship. I'm good at getting along when it comes to that. and sometimes, I even ask them if my decision is right or what I'm doing. because for me, I will feel good or what if I ask before I do. and sometimes yes, I listen to them what advice they have because i trust them and of course i trust myself more.

Every time I'm with my friends, I always tell myself that I am lucky to have them. They all knew me for what I am as well as my secrets are all safe with them. They are my second family. We have one circle of mind because we are open to each other. When we are going to date, we have to exchange ideas if where we gonna go, we sure that we are safe when we go to this place. We need to enjoy the time we spent with each other but also make sure that we are all safe to go home.

I define myself as a collectivist person. I cannot imagine living my life without my family by my side. Family is very important and valuable to me and is something that should never be taken for granted. Without my family, a large part of my life and culture would be missing. This pandemic made me realize the importance of family in our life. Even though we came from broken family, the relationships we have with our members make our family strong. We all have unique relations with each family member. In addition to other things, my family is the strongest unit in my life. My family has always been there to motivate and encourage me to overcome all difficulties in life and achieve success. The role of every member in my family is unique and important in their own way. I thank God that I have grown up in a family that full of love and discipline. My family values will definitely help me in becoming a better person.

I define my self as an individualist. For me being alone is not always a bad thing, it gives me time to learn about myself and I love to try new things and push myself out of my comfort zone. There is just so much in my life that I want to experience and one needs to be adventurous to be able to accomplish them. I try to live life to the fullest, and I hate wasting time not out living an adventure. Whenever I feel sad, I prefer the comfort of my pillow, listening music and being alone rather than a crowd of people at a party or a social gathering with other people. l enjoy my time like going to the mall and eat alone. I prefer the feeling of being alone rather than with other people because it gives me time to find comfort in myself and to have fun and be happy without relying on other people. This is why I like being alone.
