I'm sure at one point everyone has faced the dreaded icebreaker, where you have to introduce. yourself with basically the bare minimum to your personality. Generally speaking, many of the questions you will be asked will be answered with either your name, hobby or place you are from. These three aspects of your identity determine how people need to distinguish you. Perhaps, you may be "Guitarist George from Georgia" or "Basketball Player Bobby from Boston." In theory, the answers are meant to diverse, filled with people so different from each other that everyone might as well be the protagonist of a "hero's journey" adventure. Unfortunately, human beings are not too unique, at least when it comes to their names, hobbies, and place they are from. I can name twenty “James”, a couple of them play video games as a hobby, and two of them are from North Carolina. Clearly “ice-breakers” are not a good form of introducing people to others.
Yet, I find no other alternative as of today. For now, I will merely conform to the standards of today’s introductions.
Sincerely,
Writer Ruben from Raleigh
