Mindset

A fixed mindset is the belief that your qualities and abilities cannot change.

For example, people with a fixed mindset could struggle with improving their abilities and give up when a problem is too hard.

for example People with a Fixed mindset describe their perfect parter as someone who will put them on a pedestal where they can do no wrong.

Some effects of having a fixed mindset

people with a fixed mindset usually don't want negative feedback because they see that as failure or could be hurt by negative feedback because it will hurt there self esteem

People with a fixed mindset could take their partner bringing up something that they need to work on as critisum or an attack on their character witch shows that they have low confidence and are insacure

people with fixed mindset will fear failure and usually shut down if they experience it.

Those with a fixed mindset could see a singular fight with their partner as a failed relationship. This feeling of failure may cause the person with a fixed mindset to think that a fight with their partner means there relationship is over, and there's a need for a breakup instead of working things out with that person and hearing there partner out so they can both make changes to support one another.

Academic Achievement/Learning

Your personal response to these ideas

I personally see a person with a fixed mindset as someone who fears failure or rejection and is unable to take risks to grow who they are.

I see people with growth mindsets to be people who see failure as needing to work harder at something. I also belive that having a fixed mindset makes you less down on yourself and makes you more willing to put in effort to get what you want.

I believe that people with fixed mindsets can struggle with self-esteem in different aspects of there lifes. on the flip side I belive that people with growth mindsets have higher self esteem.

personally i think that my self esstem can very from high to low depending on the setting im in. for example with my close friends or doing somthing i feel confident in my self estem is way higher then it would be when im around new people that i feel i might not click with or when im doing somthing for the first time.

ive seen many people deal with failure in many different ways. I have seen how some of my friends when they are in a hard class that they dont understand they will drop the class all together even tho its needed for there degree. My friends with growth mindsets when they experience failure it might motivate them to try harder.

personally Ive never taken failure as a good thing persay. But i feel as tho it would be worse for me if i gave up completly on somthing becuse i experienced failure. for example at the end of my junior year my grade point avergage had dropped witch was crushing becuse i thought i was working hard. my senior year i worked supper hard to get my grade point average up and i was on honor roll both semesters witch i had never been before.
