Jealousy: The Qualities Of Being An Outsider

Improved Essays
Growing up, I have always been the outsider or someone who observes others doing things. I would gaze near people's directions and their amazing qualities. Whether that individual had a talent or was outgoing, I would be in awe. Sometimes I would feel a tinge of jealousy because I wanted to be one of those people who are productive, active in their community, and talented. Overall, I just wanted to be someone who was confident and talented. Confidence to me is doing something you love and getting better at your god given skills. Loving yourself plays a huge part. If you love yourself, people will naturally love you. If you feel good inside, it will radiate on the outside. All these things made me realize that those people I stare at awe

They couldn’t depend on other people except on themselves because they didn’t know who could die next or get injured; they had to carry their pain day after day. Loneliness is expressed by the emotion of a character missing someone they love or cared about.
