Topic

shufang.submit.form.fillTip

* Required

Name this narrative specifically—don't use big words like 'success' or 'happiness'; write the specific version you actually follow in life. For example: 'I believe that people who haven't saved a certain amount by age 35 are failures.'

Min 80 chars

* Required

Write a narrative from a different domain than Narrative 1 (if Narrative 1 is career-related, Narrative 2 could be about relationships, consumption, or identity).

Min 80 chars

* Required

Write one more. Special suggestion: try to find a belief you've never questioned, one that feels 'obvious.'

Min 80 chars

* Required

For each narrative above, mark its main source: family inheritance / school education / media input / peer pressure / social rituals. Most importantly: when and how did you internalize this narrative?

Min 100 chars

* Required

Choose the narrative you find 'hardest to question' and run it through the four questions: ① If no one believed in this narrative, would its value disappear immediately? ② Did I arrive at this belief through my own observation, or was I taught it? ③ Is there social punishment for questioning this narrative? ④ Who benefits most from this narrative?

Min 120 chars

* Required

Classify the narratives you identified: which would not hold if transplanted to a hunter-gatherer civilization 10,000 years ago (imagined order)? Which would still hold (natural order with material/biological basis)?

Min 100 chars

* Required

Honestly evaluate the narratives you identified: which are you willing to continue obeying (have real value, you认同 them)? Which do you want to renegotiate (have value but the execution is problematic)? Which do you want to loosen (you don't actually agree but are still controlled by them)?

Min 100 chars

* Required

Find the belief in your portrait that you are 'most certain about but have least verified,' and do a self-check using three steps: ① Name this belief ② Acknowledge 'I'm not sure if it's true; I've just been acting on it' ③ Describe a plan to pause one automatic decision driven by this belief and observe what happens.

Min 100 chars

Optional

If you have a 4th or 5th narrative you want to record, you can add them here.
