In addition, fostering self-awareness helps to establish deeper connections with others. As individuals gain a better understanding of themselves, they become more understanding to the needs and experiences of those around them. This increased empathy not only strengthen social bonds but also contribute to a sense of belonging and support, finally reducing feelings of social isolation and loneliness.
Unsurprisingly, the booth focusing on relationships received the most attention. Relationships are a fundamental aspect of human experience, influencing our emotions, behaviours, and overall well-being. The survey questions at this booth aimed to determine the role individuals predominantly play in a romantic relationship, offering insights that could help them find suitable partners and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.
