Chapter eight- “If you know how I feel” I feel strongly on a lot of topics. I feel strongly on topics like how people eat to how people treat each other. The way I feel about these topics will be revealed later on in this chapter. I feel as though I am not as good looking as the other kids in my age group. For as long as I have had access to a mirror I look into it and think I am ugly. I know I am not ugly but when I see a reflection of myself I see the flaws and think about how people will judge me. I am not comfortable writing about those flaws but some of the flaws are in the description of myself in a previous chapter.
When it comes to my intelligence it is touchy for me. People tell me I am smart all the time but media and my peers have …show more content…
For me it is the opposite I only care what other people think and don’t take into account what the people close to me think.
The way I will write this specific chapter is by order of importance. I care most about people who I don’t know but who I will get to know in the future. Around these people I speak as well as I can and try to sound as educated as I can. I do this because “a good impression makes a lasting impression”. The people I don’t know who I will get to know in the future, say that I sounded very intelligent and educated.
The impression I leave on strangers influences how I act. I know it shouldn’t because they are strangers, but it does. Around strangers I again act as smart and intelligent as I can but I also use my best manners and try to act as though I came from as family of class. I try to not leave the house ungroomed but sometimes I do and I think they are going to judge me and think I am poor. I can't really speak on the behalf of strangers because they are strangers but I have been told I look nice and am …show more content…
If they are distant friends I try to act my best around them but I slip sometimes and start to act silly and carefree. A lot of times it is met with “what are you doing chill out” or most common a very firm “andrew” or “drew”. With close friends I act silly all the time and it is hard for me to focus or pay attention to detail. I’m told to pay more attention or to focus. But with close friends I act like my true self. Which is why I treasure true friends. Around my family I am different. Around my family I am closed up due to the fact I find my family very annoying ( I won’t get into the details). But my older sister when I asked her what she thinks about me she described me in one sentence she said “ I am a person”. When I asked to elaborate she said you're just a regular person. My younger sister said many nice things surprisingly. She said I am nice, caring, likes sweet things, and some anger issues.
You may ask why are my parents all they way at the bottom. You may ask why do I care more about what strangers think and not my own parents. It is because my parents don’t know who I really am and their opinion of me will never change.They think I am a thieving, lying kid with know respect and no appreciation and a kid who deserves to get nothing. Those are previous encounters that they remember and will hold against me my entire life. So you can see why I don’t really care what they think of me as long as I live my
