ABSTRACT
People are often drawn to others who are similar, however, a support network comprised also of people who are different from us can introduce us to values, ideas, attitudes, hobbies, careers, and ways of being. Review support networks in the book Enhancing Self Esteem, pages 69–73, before having the participants do this activity. Complete the assessment of your network which is included there. Then, look at the adjectives you selected to describe yourself and compare them with the adjectives you chose to describe people in your support circle. Which people are most different from you?
