Personal Narrative: The Time Of My Life

Improved Essays
I remember the time of my life when I was a completely different person. This time of my journey was not too long ago. Recently, A setback of a friend has made me think differently, talk to people in a varying tone, and certainly has changed the way people look at me. A situation that made me an individual. Not too long ago, A few very close friends made me realize that I should be careful who I look up to, open up to, and certainly who I trust and have belief in. One of my close guy friends once has disappointed me with being what my expectations were for a “ close friend.”
One night, A party came across for the end of the year and all of our friends were looking forward to it. We spent a lot of time planning this party and we wanted it to

It's from him. It seemed like it was really important but I didn't know what to expect or think coming from someone that doesn't know how to do much. I unlocked my phone and went to the messages app and read the message in my head. Immediately I dropped my phone, sat down and thought about what I just read. He basically texted me saying that being in a “coma” and lying to me this long about it wasn't supposed to turn out to be serious. What was supposed to be my closest guy friend, Lied to me about getting into a car crash and being in a coma. This whole summer I spent my days teaching him new things and trying to get him to remember the past. The anger that I had was unbelievable and I still don't know why someone would lie to me about something so horrible like that and go through it for 3 months. After this, I have completely changed as a person. He is not in my life anymore. I haven't opened up to anyone, And not to mention but my trust issues are on a whole other level. This situation has made me think differently and is careful who I talk to, because not everyone is as good as a friend then you think. And I will always remember that and think before I speak. Knowing this situation was very horrible but it did make me realize the better things and make me become a better

    Have you ever stopped caring so much that whatever happens, happens? I remember the time I had gotten in trouble by my mom because I had walked home from school. It was a gloomy day from it being so cloudy and cold. I was talked into walking home during school by friends whom, at the time didn't care about school as much as I did, cared nothing of school. I didn’t like it, but then again I started not to care either.…

    “A handful of moments I wished I could change, but I was carried away,” are the lyrics that remind a lot about myself. Growing up, and even about two years ago, I was insanely shy and did not talk much around people, friends, or family. The way I talked to people was in a timid, soft spoken way, which looking back, was awfully embarrassing. My friends and family would laugh at me because I could not talk well, and when I did talk, they acted as if I were a baby who just said its first words. With all of that nonsense going on, their idiotic response kind of made me not want to say anything anymore.…

    Unfortunately, in this particular situation, I was the person who created negative communication leading to a negative relationship. My own selfishness, coupled with his misunderstanding, caused a friendship to be divided. At that point, all I was offering him was a negative relationship. According to Heath and Bryant (2000), as relational partners, “we define, negotiate, and comply with the responsibilities and limits of “paying” for what they receive from a relationship predicts the relationship’s likelihood of surviving” (p. 229). Furthermore, people negotiate the rules and requirements of each relationship using norms.…

    I was constantly left out of things and had to push my way back into conversations. As uncomfortable and as hard as these moments were to go through, they were the moments that showed me what I valued in my friends. It also showed me that they weren’t the people I was supposed to be friends with. As time goes on I become more and more confident and comfortable with the decisions that I have made that have made in choosing the friends that I have today. We were bound to stop being friends due to the amount of change they undertook in their morals and attitudes and how much I had not.…

    I have experienced many situations in life that have shaped me in the way I am until this day. I often keep things to myself and I rarely share happenings of my life with anyone. As I was growing up, I experienced betrayal from friends; cognitively, I developed a defense mechanism towards betrayal and refrained from sharing any information that might put me at risk. “According to attachment theory, young children construct cognitive-affective representations or internal working models of their experiences in attachment relationships from infancy onwards” (McCarthy and Maughan 446). Since I developed such defense mechanisms at an early age, I have continued to have those same mechanisms until this day, making it hard to change my view towards persons in general.…
