"What do you think of our art teacher? Psychologically?"

"Psychologically? You mean what I could interpret from your attitude?"

"Not only from their attitude, but also from their behavior, their presence, and generally from their person."

"To be honest, I don't have a strong opinion. I think it could be more relaxed; not all rules are to be taken seriously."

"Do you know her from before?"

"Yup."

"And then that's the only thing you can think of? Hm."

"I'm sorry that my thoughts are in other dimensions. Do you care so much about them? What can a teacher learn about people?"

"When I see them, I already ask myself a few questions. Counter-question: What can you learn from people about people? But I already think that the question is unclear."

"Well: the teacher is just a role, a social mask, on the other hand you can ask yourself when you don't wear masks. What questions do you ask yourself?""In view of what I have already found out (6 years of work), I usually ask myself questions like: who can live with someone like that? At least not your husband, otherwise he would not have divorced her. I also ask myself whether it doesn't have to be exhausting to give yourself the way she gives yourself. "

"But we don't find out anything about the person behind the teacher; I don't know anything about her development or thoughts. One can only make wild guesses like: may she be a failed artist ..?"

"That is correct. But to be honest: I am not really interested in it. For that, it is not relevant or interesting enough as a" study object "."

"Then why did you start ...?"

"It wasn't about analyzing them now, I wanted to test your skills for objective analysis and interpretation in relation to psychology. Forgive me for this ambush." ​​^^ °

"Aso. But I'm more philosophical anyway.So did I fail, right? "

"No, but you just opened another aspect of yourself to me. Very interesting .."

"Which is that?"

"You suffer from fear of failure."

"There is a problem in psychology: sometimes one over-interprets tiny things. But of course there is a possibility. Fear of failure. Although I don't find it particularly pronounced. In general, I am more of the opinion that I will ultimately find a way, even if I fail."

"You see, just saying that" if I fail ", you consider a failure. Of course you are looking for a way to prevent this, that is in the nature of man; the search for perfection be less pronounced, but the mere fact that you say this you admit that you are afraid of failure. "

"Okay, I'll admit it: during this time I think about what happens if I fail in high school."

"And what scenarios do you come up with, if I may ask?"

"Well, I think I'll be surprised.Suffering is so fleeting. Today I feel stress; tomorrow I won't have any more stress and there is no need to think about it anymore. Which I don't mean to say to be indifferent. "

"Sounds almost as if you don't care about the stress that you have today. But if that were the case, you really shouldn't have any stress !? So you're stressing yourself, or how do I see it?"

"The stress is there, in the concrete foundations of science and mathematics. But I rather consider, I cannot deny, that there are negative things."

"To deny the negative would also be a devaluation of the positive."
