I like observing people. And conserving my energy, I mean, how many people would do something if it didn’t improve their life? Even if I were a social butter (which I am almost definitely not) I would most likely be a dark, brooding moth. Just waiting until someone finally makes it move. Have I shared a PB&J with anyone? No. Do I want your PB&J? Most definitely not. I like my own PB&J. You may believe that this is related to the fact that I have almost no friends, and that the friends I have are my Mom, my sis, and my dog, Art. I wouldn’t count my father as my friend, but that’s an entirely different story. I mean, what kind of father makes his son work all summer when he could be sprawled out on a plastic folding lawn chair in the backyard trying to suntan underneath the moody sky. As I feel I have said on numerous occasions (or maybe just one, I can’t remember), I like observing people. After all, would that woman really get a non-fat coffee if her skinny friend wasn’t there? Most likely not. I feel that an expression says a lot more about a person that words ever could. I find this especially true with my father. Even though he didn’t say anything, you could tell he was furious when I told him I didn’t want to work in the local corner store anymore, but who really wants to deal with bratty kids and snooty adults all day long, for the measly minimum wage. And that brings me to my next topic, I’m currently self-employed, which turned out to be a bad choice, as I earned
People are built for social contact. It’s an inborn trait, certain and inevitable, located in the brain called the amygdala. That brain structure causes the need for human companionship. Humans want to share their inner self, thoughts and feelings with someone else, so that when they leave this world, they can be remembered. When living in a society, we are bound to have friends, relatives and colleagues because we interact with them on a daily basis.
They believe in “goofing off” because the day is too long in their opinion. Jordan also compares the mental attributes of heavy and thin when she talks about happiness; in “That Lean and Hungry Look”, the thin person portrays a bothersome trait, believing logic and 2,000-point plans lead to happiness, while the fat person is already aware that happiness is indefinable. Jordan uses these kinds of comparisons and contrast between fat and thin in the article to demonstrate the advantages of being fat that are not seen by most people, for they are under the impression that fat is always unattractive or unhappy.
Always, I was told from parents and elders that anyone can achieve their dreams through arduous work and dedication. Surprisingly, I hadn’t pondered this until I observed a shivering homeless person standing at the corner asking for help on one snowy, frosty winter day. This affected my life greatly. On the way, I just started thinking about the life of homeless people and how they are not fortunate enough to get their own place to live, their choice of delicious food to eat and several other amenities that we all enjoy in our everyday lives. An incident, like this, sparked an enthusiastic sense of compassion and empathy in me. Along with my family, I started thinking deeply and my thoughts to help the homeless expanded to other areas and I wanted to start helping the community around me as much as possible.
I have always been a “people person” and my communication with people is very good. It gives me great pleasure to make other people laugh and cater for their needs. It has never been difficult for me to form new friendships and maintain existing ones. For instance, when I was in primary school, I had made a lot of friends, four
I like my privacy and solitude moments. I get my energy from being alone exploring my own ideas, which doesn’t mean that I am anti-social. I actual enjoy working with extroverts and sit next to people and talk with them one on one about their work and concerns. However, sometimes I just need to be alone with my thoughts. So don’t be upset if sometimes I prefer not to go out for drinks or feel like meetings are taking forever;
1. Britt serotypes both thin and fat people to write a humorous tale that people should treat themselves to sweets and let go. The reason she wrote this essay was to entertain and show how thin and fat people differ through stereotypes. While her depictions are not accurate because stereotypes never fit everyone in said group. What she gains from stereotyping is a very interesting and humorous story, all tongue-in-cheek.
In this short artifact “A Tale of Two Summers for Parents” by Belinda Luscombe I was able to get an idea of the different things that parents might be going through that us kids/teens have no idea about. Luscombe shares two stories about the struggles that parents were going through especially during the summer. The summer as we know is the hottest time of the year. For some states summer might just be different but I am aware that climate can be a challenge for some families. Having to change schedules and making sure to know where your children will be spending the day or after school may be your priority and I agree with that. Now a days I see kids walking home when the day is just simply hot. You can’t even go with your car window down because the warmth of the hot air hits you and it makes you so tired and stresses you out so much. No matter how much you try to be fresh the heat just really gets you making you upset and not thinking straight.
On the other hand, the females seem to go to the gym just for the purpose of running and losing weight. It appears that the females’ mindset is that it doesn’t matter how skinny they are, they still think they need to lose weight. Our studies of this strange setting yielded more important information concerning the behavior of the humans and hopefully will lead to more effective studies in the future.
have friends because it helps people by giving people useful life skills, can help support people
What makes us tick? The question intrigues me because of the power its answer holds. On the individual level, the things which we enjoy seem personal and specific. We proudly pursue our passions publicly in follows on Instagram, retweets on Twitter, and likes on Facebook while displaying them on t-shirts, mugs, and key chains. These overt expressions of interest are so common that the mere phrase “I love Chick-fil-A” is mundane and unimportant. “Of course you love Chick-fil-A,” we say. “Doesn’t everyone?”
1. Discuss your present leisure interests. Also indicate and explain which of these interests you expect will change and which you expect to remain stable as you age.
Kids can’t last that long in the son doing constant strenuous labor in the middle of field. Anyone who needed money were in the fields working their
The first letter of my four-letter personality type is “I”, suggesting that I am an externally driven person. There are two different worlds that we live in. An introvert lives inside of their thoughts. I prefer to live outside of myself. I enjoy talking to other people. I am quite social and enjoy throwing parties and organizing social events like cook outs. I listen to what others are saying. I prefer to cook my own food. I also enjoy working on my car, home improvement, and Do It Yourself (DIY) projects. Proverbs 13:4 tells us," A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied." (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2001) While I do enjoy being by myself occasionally I prefer to be around others. When I start a task I prefer to
Furthermore this ability is only effective if it has been recognised or noticed by the individual (Freeth, 2007). I believe I illustrated this skill when I said “Sounds like you have had some positive personal growth; that is wonderful Nathan, you have come so far over the years”. This was a conversation I had with a long term friend who was feeling lonely and lost in his search for a woman to share his life with. This statement conveyed unconditional positive regard and expressed a form of acceptance (Rogers, 1995).
I have many hobbies that I fill my time with. I enjoy reading. Ever since I was little my dad has called me a “voracious reader”. I am open to reading any kind of book, but I especially love realistic fiction, action adventure, and nonfiction. I also love playing sports. I did track for one year, softball for two years, gymnastics for three years, basketball for five years, and soccer my whole life as well as camps for tennis and swim. I find that playing sports has taught me many important skills including teamwork and reaching out to others as I’ve played with new people. These sports have also taught me the importance of staying healthy and fit. One of my other hobbies is music. I love music and find myself dabbling in piano and guitar whenever I have free time. I also play the trumpet and sing in my church choir. Lastly, I love baking and cooking. Although to my parents dismay sometimes (because they complain I’m making them fat) I always find myself gravitating to the kitchen and have acquired quite the collection of pans, sprinkles, food coloring, and other tools. My hobbies have taught me the importance of hard work and dedication and a love for trying new things.
