 On entering university, we make more and wider personal relationships than those in our middle and high school days. While taking part in departmental or club activities, we meet various people like professors, seniors and juniors, and friends. Some shy people including myself often hesitate to make new relationships with others and even try to avoid this altogether.
 To get to the point, they are eventually applied to such situation just like a saying that a man is an animal of adaption. However, this is not a simple process. We can not always play one role in a relationship among other people. There might be various relation we, human being, are faced with, such as hierarchical, vertical relationships. When there is a leader of a group, some create a pleasant atmosphere and others take a role played out in cute and sweet acts such as those by the youngest in a family. When the surrounding situation is changed, any person in such a situation must take on a different role. It has taken me a long time to admit such an inevitable conclusion.
 While I answer and speak like a crosspatch in a commanding tone in group A, I pretend to be obedient and might make a fake smile in group B. It makes me feel awkward, like wearing badly-fitting clothes. I can not understand why I behave like that, so I even laugh at myself. At such a time, I am attracted by the phrase on the back cover of the book, saying "Your faltering heart was pricked by a thorn of relationship".
 This book describes relationships with others, and that is why I read it. It is a good chance for me to look back at myself. We do not completely know ourselves until we make an interaction with others. My behavior in group B is another of mine. It is a part of me that I don't normally realize.
 Psychologist Carl Gustav Jung said "Human beings have thousands of personas, the aspect of one's character that they present to other people, depending on various situations, put on proper persona to make relationship." Sometimes, there is a gap between yourself and your persona. It is better to admit the persona as a part of yourself, rather than blindly say, "It's not me." 
 We have lots of relationships taking on many roles in our lives like the subtitle of the book 'Solve 12 relationship equations on the blackboard of the world'. This book cites some examples of movies to explain 12 specific relationships which become the basis of our inner growth. I want to recommend this book for any person who suffers from the same worries as I do.
