  1. its pretty easy for me to trust others if i know them well enough. the challenge was to keep you feet straight that was the hardest part of the whole thing. i learned that im very easy to push

  2. I felt like I could trust the other people in my group, but I had more a strength issue. I couldn't stay in one place for the entire time, which I believe is more of a strength issue than a trust issue because my eyes were closed the entire time and I knew that they weren't going to drop me, but I am very weak. I learned that even if you're really weak, like me, if people really care about you, they won't let you fall.

  3. It was a little hard for me to trust the people in my group, but mainly because i didn't know them personally very well. it was very hard to keep my feet still, but in the end, I'm happy i put my trust in other people.

  4. For me to trust someone i really have to get to know them. For me to have given up total control was difficult for me because I don't know my classmates very well yet. If we were to do this later in the year or in even a few week I would deffinatley trust them more because I will know them better

  5. It was pretty easy for me to trust the people in my group becuase I knew a few of them personally. It was difficult to stand still though, I kept on losing balance through my whole turn. Other than that, it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

  6. I had a lot of trouble with this activity becuase I can't really trust myself with certain tasks. I have to work on building my trust for myself and others.

  7. It was harder for me to just give up control over anything else. I didnt really like this activity because it felt like i was falling and when i felt like that I would move my feet. I guess I have to work on getting rid of that falling feeling because if I did then I would be able to trust the people in my circle more.

  8. it was pretty dam easy i thought becasue if someone didn't catch me i would have punched them. But i felt it was pretty cool just letting go and being pushed in any direction. I think the hardest part for me when closing my eyes because you lose your sense of direction and where your going. CM

  9. It was easy at first then the people started pushing me around but then i still let them because the only way to trust them is to let do what they want

  10. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, since i really didn't know many people in my group. I was a little nervous, but I just did it and it was kind of fun in a way. haha

  11. it wasnt really bad but the feeling that they would drop u or like if they fell back when they tried to catch you was scary. it was kinda hard to keep my feet together and than not move

  12. I actually thought that I can trust people I know relatively well. Of course it is always much easier to trust the people you know for a long time and those you are very close with. Still, it was kind of a weird feeling at first when I closed my eyes because you really had no control anymore and had to completely rely on the people around you.

  14. I dont have that much trouble trusting people that i dont know when it has to do with physical excersizes. It felt weird getting pushed in all directions and sometimes hurt. It was hard to keep my feet together and completely shift my weight. I learned that I sometimes hold back.

  15. I think in order to let people into your life you have to let yourself break free from yourself, deep I know, and in order to do that its important to be able to trust people. I have a hard time trusting people at first. It takes me a while but once I feel comfortable with a person I have no problem with trust. The activity is a good way to make me feel comfortable with my classmates and trust them.

  16. I felt pretty comfortable in the circle of trust. I'm pretty naive and gullible so I trust people fairly easily. I also am pretty light so I figured it'd be really hard to drop me and even if i fell it'd be one of those "kinda falls" because the person trying to support me would act as a pretty good cushion and i wouldnt feel much. So i really had very little trouble in the circle of trust.

  17. i was actually pretty comforatable within the circle once i got in. at first i did not want to go in the middle because i had played the game before with strong people around me and no offense guys, but i felt like they would let me fall to the floor if i leaned towards them so i was nervous at first but then i was able to just relax and let myself free.

  18. I was a bit afraid of the trust circle at first, but once we began i learned tp trust my peers an enjoy the activity.

  19. As long as i know that the people around me i can trust them pretty easily. Although the feeling that you could fall at any moment is a little scary, people kept me up and it was good exerscise.
