What is the difference between being an observer and a participant?

A person can feel like an observer or a participant in a situation. An observer watches without joining in. A participant actively takes part.

By Pawan Nayar · from the LLOS AI Learning record

The rule

A person can feel like an observer or a participant in a situation.

An observer watches without joining in. A participant actively takes part.

An observer watches events happen. An observer does not get involved. A participant joins in the events. A participant helps to shape what happens. Feeling like an observer can make a person feel distant. Feeling like a participant can make a person feel connected. Moving from observing to participating means becoming more involved.

A student first attends a new club meeting. The student sits and listens. The student is an observer. Later, the student helps plan an event. The student suggests ideas. The student is now a participant.
