Personal Narrative: My Life In The Comfort Zone

Improved Essays
I fell in love with my best friend’s sister and I regret it. I have many regrets and so does everyone else. If everyone could go back in the past and change one thing, many of us would do so in a heartbeat. The fact that we think we made the wrong choice at any past situation is what makes regrets. The moment I kissed her I knew that the feeling of regret was the only thing to come after that. It was out of my comfort zone and it did not feel normal. I was angry and lost and blamed that on myself and the world. I made a mistake that I never thought I would have made, breaking a long lasting friendship. I am that typical honest kid in the movies that destroyed something that was so perfect. I made that decision because I wanted too and knew exactly what was going to happen, but in reality I didn’t know anything.
I let anger get the best of me. Every decision is made because of our emotions and personal feelings. For example, if I am happy I will react calmly and thoroughly or if I am mad, I will react quickly and violently. These emotions, especially anger have very bad end results however, I

The comfort zone is the safe zone. It’s a place where danger is nowhere to be found and I don’t have to worry about awkwardness, nonsatisfaction, and experiencing bad situations. However, it is a place where I can grow as a person and determines an important portion of my personality. The great inventors and the great entrepreneurs avoid this comfort zone and take risk, which makes them unique to everyone else. Although everyone thinks they are crazy, but it’s always the crazy ones that change the world. I spent my entire life in the comfort zone and I will no longer be living in those boundaries. I will stay out of the circle of comfort by doing things I have never done before like talking to people I don’t know, traveling to places, and putting myself in situations that may not be normal, but will have an effect on my

    When someone is in their comfort zone they are at a place or situation where one feels safe or at ease and without stress. Everyone has their own comfort zone, for some it’s their house, the gym, or their car. In some cases though, a “comfort zone” isn’t always a physical space, it’s a way of life that avoids anything that might be painful. Some could find relief by doing drugs, internet surfing, or drinking alcohol. Being a conformist, taking a step out of your comfort zone is a hard step to take, but eventually it has to be done.…

    Going outside one’s comfort zone makes an individual great. The easiest solution would be to stay comfortable, and safe even if it does not produce the results wanted. However, it is not the best way to arm the spirit. Staying comfortable does nothing for an individual’s spirit. Going nowhere is a sense of no accomplishment, no pride, no meaning.…

    When I first came here in Canada, I had no friend or family that I could rely on, so I was so eager to get new friends to gain a sense of belonging. That was the time I hung out with some international students. We were partying, playing billiards and staying up all night. I enjoyed it at first because I felt like home, with friends having fun together, but it didn’t last for long. I started to realize the parties took over my life, but I knew if I stopped hanging around with them, they would kick me out of the “group”.…

    My whole life I have habitually fell upon my innate skillsets to tackle tasks and in turn have only attempted to do activities that I knew I would do well in. One reason I registered for this course was to break this comfort bubble that I have allowed myself to live in and lace my hands the other way. This thought presented in the reading struck me because it phrased the awkwardness of switching hand position as something to be valued. I have never really considered this approach to tackling things that are different and new. I often do not address the things that make me place the other thumb on top because it would make me uncomfortable, like making eye contact with others during partner dancing, or I would convince myself that it was "unnecessary"…

    Opening My Eyes to a Familiar Yet Unfamiliar World 1,200 feet above sea level and 30 miles south of Downtown Los Angeles, I woke up as the birds chirped and the sun shined straight into my face in the suburbs of Palos Verdes, California. Waking up in a house on top of an actual hill instead of an apartment on the 27th floor of a manmade building I used to live in, in Seoul, South Korea. Moving back to America after my freshman year of high school was a complete switch for me in environment both culturally and socially. It made me notice the many differences between American and Korean cultures as well as between the life at school I had switching into a public from a private school. This variation in culture and environment helped me understand others better with a more broader point of view.…
