Cassandra Sometimes A Personal Story

An online profile can convey a lot about one. A lot of times, one’s digital body can say a lot more than their physical can (Source F). This can be either a good thing or a bad thing. The good side of it may show talents that could contribute to the applicant. The bad may show traits of racism or the using of illegal substances. It is one’s responsibility to be aware of what they post on social media.

There comes a time in every persons life where they feel a burning sensation to lie, but is it worth it? Don’t they feel the shame and the guilt of that lie? On average, people lie between ten to two hundred times a day. But doesn't all of that lying come with a lot of conflict and trouble? The more that you lie the more conflict arises by avoiding truth then if it were to be faced head-on.

But, besides that I dont see why there is a reason to lie. People uses the term, a white lie,

It takes a special kind of person to be completely comfortable with themselves, because we all have our insecurities no matter how insignificant they may be. Small lies are a common way for people to find some sort of connection with each other. For example, a person may lie about being interested in a certain type of activity in order to build some common ground or gain approval from someone. Even if the person lied in order to feel more accepted, they lack respect for themselves and for the other person because they aren’t happy with themselves, and therefore care about the other person’s opinion for all the wrong reasons. This lack of self respect often stems from more personal issues, characterized from lies by a person who cares little about themselves and focuses on what other people think of them. In order to be an honest person, it takes happiness and a strong sense of self-worth so that you are complacent with the person you really

Sometimes, people tend to hide truth just to spare someone’s feelings and they think of it as small, good lies. But the point is that lies never bring anything good. No matter how small lies are, they might even hurt people’s feelings more than telling the truth right away.

It doesn't matter what other people think about you. As long as you believe you can do, you will be able to achieve your goals. In the story it says " I especially love what happened at the Dubque's Five Flags Center just a few month's later." In this story he says multiple times he loved what he did and that's what matters the most. As long as you love yourself

To continue, self-presentation is a concept in which people try to influence the perception of their image. It can be good or bad, it depends on the person. Morrie try to influence his image by teaching to other people, by loving his wife, children, and friends, by doing the right things, and also by always staying himself. He tries to be a mentor; he knows that he is not the best person on Earth, but he tries to do good things. Mitch is completely different. In the beginning, the only thing that matters to him is his status. The most important things for him were money, expensive cars, and fame, but not love. He just tries to portray himself as a great sports reporter. Nothing else matters to him, not even his wife. Morrie and Mitch present themselves differently, but the example to follow is clearly Morrie.

Often times, we attempt to avoid the truth to save ourselves or the feelings of others. Fitzgerald states “I don't care about the truth. I want some happiness.” This is something that happens all the times. Amongst other things, people lie, saying it was to protect and shield people from the hurt they might feel once they find out the truth. We often lie to ourselves for the same reasons. . In the song Don't want to fall in love, by Kyle, he sings “Be happy with lies? Or be

“I don’t want you to get the wrong idea of me from all these stories you hear,” more likely than not, we’ve all felt this way before. Being pre judged often happens today in our society just based on the clothes people wear, the car they drive, or the people they hang out with and these are just as a few of the many examples. “ I have known the eyes already, known them all.” We often get judged before we even have the chance to make an impression on people, we’ve all seen it happen, or maybe we’ve even been the ones doing it.

Apollo smirked and tied back his hair with a piece of cloth he hadn't had a moment before. Then he held out his hand. A bright flash came from his palm and when it was gone the god held a bow that looked like it was made of pure gold, slick and unmarked. A quiver appeared slung over his shoulder.

Lawrence Lovasik once said, “Only the ignorant and narrow minded gossip, for they speak of persons instead of things.” Most, if not all, judge a book by it's cover because their intuitive mind is too dull. For instance, they tend to extrapolate the most out of what they see in social media, but ironically social media does not depict who anybody is. Sometimes biographies are written about famous people like Barack Obama, but only when an autobiography is written will people know who they are. The point is no one really knows you until you either write an autobiography or a short recollection of your life. In an attempt to decimate the repugnancy of gossip about my life I will frankly write a short autobiography of it.

I also agree that we should think before we act. First, we tell lies to avoid hurting the feelings of someone. Words are very powerful so when we are friends with someone and we know that they are hurting we usually tell white lies to make them feel better. In addition, we tell lies to protect their own feelings. If we know that a lie can make a person happy then go for it even though it is bad because we love them and we will do everything for them. Second, we tell lies to avoid getting into trouble. An example is we prevent physical and mental harm. A situation that is proper to this is when we are in danger; obviously we need to tell numerous lies to protect ourselves from getting hurt. Third, we tell lies to avoid losing someone. We tend to lie because the truth might ruin our relationship with the person even though we know that when we lie to someone, we already ruin the relationship we have with them. Moreover, gaining the trust of a person is very hard; we tend to push them away because some of us have trust issues, so when we finally gained that trust we are afraid to

This is the story everyone knows; the story that has been heard. This is my “name”. You look at me now and see me as the girl who has it pretty nice. I live in a simple house nothing too fancy. I have nice clothes and a comfy bed to come home to every night. I have a loving dad and a family who cares about me. This is what everyone sees. Everyone sees me planning a future. Most people know that i want to become a math teacher and that i want to live in Charleston. I’m seen as the girl who always has good grades and is good with school. Everyone assumes i have the simple easy life and believes i haven't been through anything difficult. I only let people see what i want them to. I try to hide all the struggles i go through. I try to make it seem like the worst thing that's ever happened to me is getting into a fight with my friend or me and a boy not working out but i've seen much worse. The world has taught us to hide our pains and failures. We are all trying to fake the perfect life; but the truth is everyone is going through something or has been through serious pain.

At first introduction I am seen as perpetually cheerful and high energy. Coworkers, friends and acquaintances recognize quickly that I am fiercely competitive, passionate about my work, and easily classified as Type A personality. It is clear from my Instagram account I am obsessed with the outdoors; from skiing and hiking to mountain biking and camping, I search for adventure as often as possible. My Facebook is littered with photos of my four-year-old’s choice in outfits and silly quotes showing her viewpoint on the world. (“I’m a strong, interpendent woman!” is a recent favorite.) What many people don’t know, however, is the laundry list of traumas and tragedies I have endured. I often get the shocked deer-in-the-headlights look when someone finds out both my parents died within two years of each other. When it comes out that I married young to escape my emotionally abusive mother, just to realize my husband was also abusive, the comment is usually on how courageous it must have been to file for divorce and leave with my young toddler in tow. It is not uncommon to hear the exclamation, “But how are you so happy still?” after hearing of my multiple miscarriages.

Erving Goffman sees self-presentation in six aspects, which are all related to the idea of life as a drama; persona, performance, staging, teams, role, personal style. According to Goffman, a persona is when someone wears various personality ‘masks’ depending on which roles they are undertaking, for example, when someone is with their friends the mask they wear defines them as a kind, friendly person whereas when they are with the family the mask will come off and their personality will change. I wear a mask when I’m with my friends and this portrays me as a friendly, outgoing character, whereas the mask I wear at home is loud, moody and unproductive.
