Discussion Questions

Dr. Crabb talks about our tendency to keep relationships shallow using the image of “not turning our chairs toward one another.” Why is it so difficult for us to “turn our chairs”? In other words, why are we reluctant to let anyone really know us? As you think about your answer, consider these possible reasons: Don’t have time. Don’t want to get involved. Don’t care. Feel inadequate and awkward. Don’t know how to form deeper relationships. Not culturally acceptable. Explain several possible reasons (using your own or from the list above) and then give an example from your experience that demonstrates which reason most often keeps you from turning your chair towards others.

I think there’s a few reasons – self need and self gratification are flesh instincts. Also ithink we edit our inner mess. Also the other is going through the same process, part of brokenness which inhibits spiritual connection

I tend to be the one who shares my transformation story because I have a small group. So, if I am not transparent, it’s really hard for anyone else to open up and share. But there is always one, who is reluctant to share. Although we all have trust issues, we try and make it a safe and confidential environment. There can be a cloud of shame, a person feels because of their experiences. Some have worked past the point of caring and just want to be free to be who they are, accepted in a loving environment. This is sometimes easier for older people depending on their age.

For me, I don’t trust anyone enough to really tell them anything about me. I was raised on guilt and shame bringing these things into adulthood. In my world, no one is interested in what I have to say about anything. I can only imagine there are others who may feel the same way, and won’t take the time to get to know others. I would love to have a deep discussion where the issues and questions mentioned in the lecture are asked, and explored.
-
I think shame and insecurity in either person during a personal conversation can keep people from opening up to each other, there could also be the fear of not being accepted because of low self esteem or social anxiety. Knowing our identity in Christ and our relationship with Him can help with these issues. I believe meds could be helpful if there is a true mental disorder.

If relationships are kept shallow then no one can have the upper hand. People tend to be judgemental
