The prompt
Everyone carries a few stories about who they are: ‘I’m not a numbers person’, ‘I’m the responsible one’. I want to find one of mine that’s out of date. Don’t answer yet. Ask me up to six questions, one at a time, about how I describe myself, what I say I’m bad at, and what my family or oldest friends would say I’ve always been like. Then pick the one story most worth questioning. Tell me where it probably came from, the evidence from my answers for it and against it, and what it has kept me from trying. End with a more accurate version in one sentence. Mark what you’re guessing, and if the story still holds up, say so. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
From what you know about me, which story I tell about myself looks most out of date? Quote how I’ve put it in our past conversations, give the evidence for and against it, and separate what you know from what you’re inferring. End with a more accurate version in one sentence. If the story holds up, say so. Don’t flatter me. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
