Hello, everyone. It's great to be with you again this week. Norma and I will be having a conversation to explore a term that's being widely used these days. We thought it would be interesting to examine what it means when we refer to someone as a "snowflake." Today, we're specifically talking about the term used to imply that someone has an overinflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or is overly emotional and easily offended, especially when they can't handle opposing views.These individuals often project themselves as fragile. With that, we welcome Norma and dive into the conversation.Hi, everyone. Hi, Carrie. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this topic. I approach it with some apprehension because it's not our intention to label anyone as a snowflake. Instead, I'd like to explore where I might exhibit sensitivity in my own life, perhaps areas where I believe I have unique circumstances that warrant consideration, or when I feel someone has been insensitive in their remarks. I don't use this term to label others, but rather to reflect on my own reactions and seek balance and perspective.Sometimes I do find myself taking offense or being sensitive, especially in specific relationships where I feel people are using their knowledge of me to hurt me intentionally.Yes, I think this topic has made me reflect on my own sensitivity and how it can affect me and those around me. I've noticed that we tend to be most sensitive around those closest to us, often expecting them to understand us completely. However, making assumptions about what others think can lead to unnecessary suffering. We need to recognize the impact of our assumptions on others and question whether we want to live our lives that way.
