Love-shyness

Perception is a powerful concept in society. How we view ourselves and others is dependent on the environment surrounding us. Diane Levine, an American author, educator, and advocate known for her work in media literacy and media effects on children, was able to captivate this concept. “When my son was tested for a coveted spot in a private prekindergarten, he was asked, ‘What color is a banana?’ ‘White,’ he answered. ‘A banana isn’t white!’ he was told. Fortunately…

SHY “Alex would you please be quiet for one second?” asked my mom. It’s funny that she always says this to me, because I got my talkative side from her. She talks more than I do, most of the time at least. Everyone else thinks that I am just shy, but that is not the case. If you really know me, you know that I am very outgoing. I have a ton of friends, that support me. My friends know my strengths and my weaknesses, and they could tell you that being shy is not one of my weaknesses. Because I…

To be completely frank with you, this class was a challenge to me. Although this class did have some similarities to my twelfth grade english class, the differences were unfamiliar to my sense, but I am glad I faced it in this semester. A big challenge that I had to face this semester was asking for the proper help I need to improve my writing, and participating in class. I do admit, I never truly faced the challenge of participating in class as much I expected to. Although, I did ask for help,…

I was like really shy at one point of my life I don't know why but it really affected. Me and the people I talked to I am getting better. if you get to know me I seem really happy outside but inside I am like so shy. The more people i talk to the less shy I get. When I was like in first grade I knew I had a problem with being shy but I was determined To stand up and talk to bigger groups of people. I started with talking to one person and almost every time I was suful and then…

Here’s my answer: because I’m shy and I don’t talk to strangers, sorry. I like to be alone sometimes, but I feel lonely easily, especially when there are many people surrounding around me. I’m also a quiet person, but that doesn’t mean I don’t swear. I love to swear, and I swear everyday. I’m very polite and nice since I don’t swear to someone I don’t know.…

Although I was born in the United States, I have spent the first half of my life living in other countries. As glamorous as that may sound, it is far from that; instead, it had made me feel like a social outcast. All this moving around did not allow me to establish a firm cultural foundation, and I found myself being very introverted, shy, and reclusive; I just never really “fit in” anywhere I lived. To make matters worse, my parents were so oblivious to this; I felt like I could not even talk…

What is loneliness? According to the dictionary, the definition of loneliness is sadness due to having no friends or company or being in isolation. Loneliness is a complicated emotion; everyone is a little afraid of loneliness and everyone feels it. It is an emotion that everyone experiences during their life. A person can feel lonely if he/she is alone or in a crowded room. However, the dictionary definition of loneliness is partially correct. Feeling lonely is not the same as being alone.…

I believe some of these people have very intellectual views and the fact that they can share what they think and feel freely brings them and me joy. Michael S. Rosewald in, “Can Facebook help Overcome shyness?” tells us how Larry Cohen feels about the use of Facebook. Cohen says, “The benefits are more obvious, apparent and immediate. But the downsides, at least at first, tend to be less obvious and deeper in the long run.” Rosewald and Cohen believe that…

or themselves. In the past, individuals willingly isolated themselves from their community with the intent to reflect and grow without distraction. Today, we isolate ourselves because of imaginary benefits of online socialization,empty vanity, self love, and convenience. It’s hard for people to be independent from the inert state of…

Finding your own identity is something everyone does in their life. At times it can be complex and stressful trying to figure out who you really are but at the end it can be really satisfying to see the outcome. The process of finding yourself can be a pleasurable one or an ungraceful one. It can be quick or take years to unravel and the journey to finding that answer can be filled with an abundance of obstacles but overcoming them will get you one step close. I went through these things myself,…
