1. Do you agree with the study?
I agree that women are more likely to talk about their feelings than men. What I don’t know if it is because their own nature, or just because of the social customs that are widely implemented in the society. Anyway I agree that been able to speak to others about your own feelings is very beneficial.
2. Tell me about your brother/sister. How has your relationship changed since childhood?
I have a sister who is nearly my age, and a brother and a sister who are much younger than me. My relationship with the first one has bee always good and we are very good friends. Mi relationship with my other siblings was prior a maternal relationship, now we are also very good friends.

I’m not sure that my sisters have teached me to be positive and kínder always, but they have always supported me when I have needed.

I’m very proud of my relationship with my siblings. I think that it is very important that parents teach their children to trust and support their siblings.

You are showing progress. Continue being consistent when it comes to your practice.
