A few common questions.
What is the difference between self-reflection and social prompts?
Self-reflection prompts are made for journaling and getting to know yourself better. Social prompts are to help you get to know others better and build a deeper connection. Self-reflection prompts usually use "I" or "my" ("What matters most to me?") while social prompts usually use "you" or "your" ("What matters most to you?").
