Who I think I am? I’m not exactly sure who I think I am or how to describe who I think I am. I tend to act differently around certain people. Constantly changing to try to seek approval. Constantly in fear of accidentally doing something wrong; that I might say something wrong and all my friends will abandon me or leave me for someone better. I think this fear came from when my best friend was taken from me. I had known her since preschool, but she had met another girl and she stopped talking to me completely. I’m in constant fear that this will happen to me again, so I struggle to be accepted. I don’t want to be forgotten again. Personality wise, most people would say I’m annoying, loud, and rude. Strangers would describe me as quiet and shy.
My close friends; they describe me as nice, optimistic, jealous, prideful, and a crybaby. I think all of those are true, but I think I’m so much more. I’m not exactly sure what. but I believe there is more. Most people would say they have two faces, but people have more than that. You show different sides of yourself to different people. Some have more sides than others. I believe I’m one of those people who have more than others. It’s almost as if I have a separate side for every separate person. I get angry really easily. Most people would not know that because I don’t let my anger out. I don’t have any way to let it out. I know it’s really unhealthy to keep it bottled in, but I don’t have any way of letting it out without getting in trouble with either my parents or other people. I get angry over the smallest of things and I just anger myself over the fact I get angry over everything, so its just a big circle. I’m scared I’m accidentally going to lash out and hurt someone I care for. That maybe something small will set me off. I don’t know what to do and it scares me. I have literally no idea who I think I am and I find that weird. Some of my friends had no problem writing this essay and here I am, stressing over that I might not be doing it right. I have so many different sides of myself, I don’t really know who I am. I change myself so much, I don’t know which one is the real me.
What words best describe your character? Give specific examples of why each word is applicable.
I affected by what people have thought of me. I let the fear of one person in high school keep me from doing what I loved which is theater. I was afraid of Kayla because I was bullied by her. In 8th grade I was afraid to speak out because I thought I was wrong. During presentations three guys who thought they were “all that” the “jock type” the muscular guys who thought they could get any girl were mean to me. They probably had to be mean on the outside to hide some hurt on the inside. They would call me names and throw spitballs when the teacher was not looking .I looked around the room and saw the kids faces all laughing. I couldn’t speak after that. I felt like I had a lump in my throat that was preventing me to talk. After that day I felt like a ghost wandering the halls, that everyone ignored. I felt that everyone was out trying to get me for something I didn’t do. I was an easy target. I was too sensitive. I was self conscious about my body. People where telling me I was fat, I wasn’t pretty, I will never get a guy because I was a “looking like a
I was scared and really shy. I have always felt like people will judge me if I act dumb or if I mess up, even to this day, I sometimes find myself feeling self-conscious. This is because people’s opinions regarding me are very important to me. I have a dependant personality. Relationships are very important. I want people to like me, if they don’t like me it may mean that I’m doing something wrong. Of course I know the false in this thinking, but I still have these thoughts. This is a barrier and a weakness that I have to overcome. I think that people with dependant personalities normally make much better actors because their barrier is much smaller and they don’t care what others think of
...at little voice in my head, got to me. I started to feel unsure about myself, I would talk down to myself. To the point where I would have some sort of mental breakdown. When this happened, I went to the people who I knew loved and cared for me. I would get their words implanted in my head of them saying that I can do it, that I am a beautiful person, that I should not second guess myself. In these circumstances, this is where I felt like I did not know who I was. I questioned my identity of who I am as a person. Even though I have been living for eighteen years, I still do not know my true self. I will keep questioning myself, I will keep feeling a some sort of abandonment, and trust issues for the longest time. These psychological effects will not leave my mind for a long time. But at least that who I am, I finally found a part of me that is not a mystery anymore.
In terms of my personal identity, I would say that based on my experiences throughout my life, I considered myself to be hard working, especially when it comes to pursuing my goals; honest; generous, I like taking
that life would be better and that my sister and I would be more accepted. For that reason,
Identity-“Ones personal qualities.”Identiy is something only he or she can fully define. My uncle says I am affectionate,cheerful, and calm. My grandmother sees me as slim, pretty and sweet. My dad described me as perky, cheerful and happy, my mom says beautiful, gentle, and self-conscious. These adjectives describe me accurately, yet they are only abstract versions of me. Adjectives cannot begin to describe me and I aknowlege these descriptions for what they are, a condensed translation from my outward self to the world. It is impossible for anyone to understand me completely because nobody has experienced the things I have. My mother has never cherished a raggedy doll named Katie and my father never spent hours upon hours making collages and scrap books for his future children. My uncle never hid in the back of a pick-up-truck and traveled four hours to New York and my grandmother has never walked hours in the rain looking for the Queen of England. My identity is something only I can define.
There are many different personality types. I can use various words to describe my personality. Some examples I use to describe my disposition are sensitive and shy. I think that these are just two words I use to describe my personality, but they are not the only ways I can describe my personality. I am a very complex human being. I have gotten to know myself better, and I know there are words better suited for a description of my disposition.
I would describe myself as a weird individual. I am quiet but if I really know you really well I can be very goofy and exciting. When I am around a lot of people or people I do not really talk much. Most of the time I observe my surrounding, hearing conversations, seeing facial expressions of those I should not have seen. I do not like expressing how I feel and my emotions. A lot of people see me as always laughing and crazy person but sometimes that is hiding what is really going on in my brain. I am a heavy thinker. In many cases the reason I am quiet is because I am thinking. My boyfriend describes me a mean girlfriend but if was not mean I would not love him. I am laid back, and very calm. Sensitivity can also describe my personality because I can see other people cry and it tears my emotions
These past few days, I learned a lot about myself. One of the things I learned about myself is that I am a, Auditory learner. I didn’t agree at at first and after I read it, I said to myself that ‘’That is totally me’’.It said that as a, auditory learner is a person who listens to ideas and loves to tell jokes and I often like to talk to myself. I have trouble writing, and that was one of my goals for this year to become a better writer. I don’t really read body language because I like to express myself a lot and that is what makes me a better learner in my own way. I am very social, I always come to school with something on my mind that I need to do or fix and I have problems of my own. I guess that’s not very personal because everyone
Well, who really am I? Am I rude, strict or obnoxious? Or am I loving and caring? Think and know me better.
Who am I? Such a simple question: such a profoundly difficult one to answer. I could tell you that my name is Rob Jones, but that would only be my name. I could tell you that I would like to become a professional author and that I have strong linguistic skills and an artistic flair. But these are merely reflections of who I am: gifts I possess and talents I have perfected. I suppose I must start by telling you what I am.
I am an intuitive-feeling personality. I am charismatic, participative and very people oriented. I tend to focus on the big picture and not the small specifics. I am not power hungry and try to be helpful and giving to those around me.
who I am and how I am with very few things that I would disagree about my personality traits. I
I am sentimental, out-going, indecisive, understanding, curious, naive, lazy, and young. I want to be ... , well a lot of things, and growing is discovering what they are. I feel people cannot see the potential within, although there is no one to blame but myself. I look to others for approval instead of to myself. I aim to please; it leads to approval. I don’t like to discuss my faults; I pity myself.
