Am I going to be Ms. Nice Social Worker everytime I meet youths?
I don't think so.
I feel so fake.
What's my style? I really don't know. I'm still trying to figure out through my mind of confusion.
What kind of style do I feel most comfortable and yet best to interact with the youth so that they feel comfortable to share their problems with me and at the same time I could gain respect from them without trying to win over their favour?
Fun.
Easy-going.
Patient.
Smiley.
These are all Ms. Nice Social Worker's traits.
It's not wrong, definitely.
But I just thought that something is amiss. It's not who I feel comfortable being eventually.
Something just doesn't fit in me, somehow.
What is it?
