Personal Narrative: I Hate People In Store

Improved Essays
I hate going to stores. There 's too many people in stores. Which isn 't very comforting for me. I have this curse where I can hear what people are thinking of me. Only me. My mom calls it a "gift", but I don 't see it. Having to hear people call you a "slut" or a "loner" never really helps your self esteem. I try to blend in by dressing like all the girls in their slutty-ass outfits, but instead it just made guys notice me. And it didn 't help at all. I feel like no girl wants to be considered "fuckable" or "a full out ten". Which is why I wore a lot of oversized hoodies. Like today. It was a Navy blue hoodie with black sweatpants.
Since I hated people I live on my family 's farm. But sometimes you needed things you couldn 't get from my farm. Like toothpaste and a new

Yeah, my mom, since I didn 't have any friends, (mostly because I pushed them away) this was the only company I ever got at the stores and malls. We had bought a few things while I tried to push away all the thoughts of others. God what a whore. Look at all that makeup. I had heard one girl say. Whore was probably the worst word that I heard about myself. I mean I was just trying to fit in. A close second was freak.
Finally I needed to get away from all the girl 's and pig 's thoughts, I told my mom that I had to use the bathroom. Honestly, I preferred the bathroom, it was the only place where the worst thing you heard was 'what 's taking so long? ' Because they can 't look at me. It was the only break I had. Just as I saw the bathrooms I saw a guy staring straight at me. God he was hot. With all the right things in all the right places. His skin was an olive color and his hair black. His eyes were a dark brown and his lips… oh his lips were just perfect. He was built. I mean you could see his abs through his blue, V-neck shirt. But he looked too cocky like he knew how good he looked. I almost had to roll my

    Living in the northern part of Maine there are only Sam’s Club/Walmart stores, and Target stores that are “close” to where I live. An hour or so drive to get to any of them so the trips are few and far between when I am at home. The closest Costco would be a four-hour drive. The first time I went to a Costco I was skeptical of what to expect because of all the times I had spent in Sam’s club and Walmart stores. It was different than what I was used to but so similar to the other stores.…

    She had her hands in the pockets of her jean jacket. She had these sharp dark eyebrows and dark dirty blonde hair. Her face was shaped like one of those perfectly smooth blue eggs you got on easter. She was absolutely stunning. Not stunning like one of those phony movie actresses, but she was real.…

    His work was black paint strokes put together with shapes of bright vibrant colors that to a random passerby might seem like a mess on paper. Yet, art is what you make it and to make art takes guts and ingenuity. A world and life without the touch of art would be dull due to the lack of emotion, culture and innovators. Art is something created to express important ideas or…

    My past work experience has been at Sobeys, where I could experience a lot of women’s leadership. I worked from October 2013 to June 2015; I began working there since it opened to until I resigned, because I had to move to Kingston. In our Sobeys, there were more female department managers than male managers; my department manager was female as well. If I gained knowledge of what woman could do by reading about “The Famous Five” before, this time, I gained knowledge by experiencing different female leaderships. I’ve experienced both poor and great leaderships.…

    To the ones who believe asking, “What are you?” is a valid conversation starter, I am multiracial and proud, but to simplify my ethnicities to others when asked, I identify myself as Asian. I was stereotyped because of how we are perceived in media and society. I spent years cowering in my own skin because others made me believe I was not Asian because of the size of my eyes, the color of my hair, and my personal interests. I was ashamed of what I looked like since I was convinced it embodied who I am as a person.…

    Much like Melinda, in the novel Speak, I have had multiple experiences in which I have been humiliated, frightened, and even abused. Not quite exactly the same experiences, although. I was an anti-social child up until I moved to Walkerton. I had no friends before the move, ever. I was always the kid picked very last, the one who never did anything correct, who had no friends, the loner, etc.…

    When I was younger, I had always imagined that it would be empowering to shop in a grocery store, and pay for food without food stamps. I thought that it would feel good to let the cashiers and customers know that we weren’t poor and on welfare. As growing up, that was a reality that I didn’t even want to admit to myself, much less anyone else. I think society made me afraid to be poor, and as a result my pride grew to extreme heights as well. I remember with great clarity the time we did buy food without government assistance, but it didn’t go the way I had always dreamed.…

    Once I got to high school I made a decision that dramatically changed my view of the word, I joined the water polo team. Many other athletes on campus started referring to my teammates and myself as faggots, as I walked through the locker room one of the first days of practice, in my speedo, in front of the football players, I started to hear the slurs, “Faggots! Wearing your speedos! , “Look at those faggots, have fun touching each other. ” I can still hear those words, echoing through the halls of lockers, which at that point seemed endless.…

    Also the term slut itself is something that can never have one meaning, it can possess several meanings and each individual has their own definition of it and throughout time it could change based on whether or not they have interacted with something new that therefore can change their meaning of the term slut and modify it. In the article, girls could not specifically point out what a slut was or could not come up with a general definition for the term but they knew it existed in an abstract form (Armstrong et al 2014). In addition, when it comes to Symbolic Interaction, people act towards things on a basis of their meaning. When it comes to the more affluent class of girls, slut stigma is not applied to them, however when it comes to the less affluent, it is easy for the term slut to be applied to them (Armstrong et al 2014). The higher class is not susceptible to this slut shaming.…

    I have always been taught to judge people based on their actions rather than their appearance, and this was a lesson that was completely reinforced by the house I lived in, in which I grew up. As kids, if any of us even remotely suggested that we were focused on someone 's looks, we were immediately punished and reminded that there is no way to know a person based on what he or she looked like, but rather it is important to know the heart inside the body. Making snap judgments based on appearance was definitely not acceptable in our household. This was difficult for kids, since young people often judge people based on first impressions, which generally involve their physical appearance. Nevertheless, as an adult, it became as clear as day to…
