When you see someone going through a tough time, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

Select an answer:

Perhaps it is enough just to be silent with him and wait until he speaks for himself. I will try to advise him based on my own experiences. Sometimes people exaggerate; it's better to let them resolve it on their own. I am looking for a way to practically help him, for example, to solve a specific problem. I feel helpless because I don't always know what to say or do.

Imagine finding yourself in a circle of younger people. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I listen to them carefully and observe how they think. I will participate in the debate if I feel that I can add something valuable. I feel a bit out of place; today's generation thinks completely differently. I am trying to guide them to avoid the mistakes I made. I would rather withdraw; I don't like to impose myself.

How do you usually respond to conflicts in your surroundings?

Select an answer:

First, I try to understand what caused them. I prefer not to get involved; conflicts are exhausting. I am looking for a way to reconcile both sides. Sometimes I feel like telling the truth straight out, so things get resolved quickly. I've been thinking about it for a long time, even though the conflict ended a long time ago.

If someone questions your life experiences or opinions, how do you feel?

Select an answer:

I understand that everyone has the right to their own perspective. It may disappoint me, but I know that it does not diminish the value of my experiences. I feel the need to defend myself and explain why I am right. Some things simply can't be explained; one must experience them. I'm ignoring it, I don't feel like talking about it.

What is the most important thing for you when building relationships with people?

Select an answer:

Trust and the ability to understand each other. Shared values and a similar worldview. Mutual exchange of experiences, everyone has something to offer. Respect, even when I disagree with the other person. It is not necessary to be on good terms with everyone; some relationships simply do not work.

How do you react when someone asks you for advice?

Select an answer:

First, I try to understand his situation. I will advise him based on my own experiences, but I will let him decide. I provide direct and clear recommendations to avoid mistakes. Sometimes I'm afraid that I might give him bad advice, so I prefer to encourage him to find his own solution. Sometimes I feel that people do what they want anyway, so I pay attention to whom I advise.

What helps you cope with difficult emotions?

Select an answer:

A conversation with someone who understands me. Thinking about what this situation can teach me. Physical activity or some activity that keeps me engaged. Time, because I know that nothing lasts forever. Sometimes I just have to live through them and accept them.

When you see that the world is changing at a rapid pace, how do you perceive it?

Select an answer:

I am trying to learn and adapt to whatever I can. Some things are already too fast for me, but I respect that. I feel that certain values should not change. I don't think about it too much, life goes on, as always. Sometimes it frustrates me because not everything new is good.

How do you perceive your role in society at this age?

Select an answer:

I see myself as a person who can pass on experiences to younger people. I try to be useful, but mainly I want to enjoy life. I feel that society forgets about the elderly, but I can find my place. I engage less, but if needed, I can offer my perspective on things. I live my life regardless of what others expect from me.

If you could pass on a message to younger generations, what would it be?

Select an answer:

Live life to the fullest, but remember the consequences of your decisions. Everything has its time, don't push yourself too hard. Values and relationships are more important than quick success. Learn from the mistakes of others; you don't have to experience everything firsthand. Don't forget to enjoy life; not everything has to be about performance.
