Personal Narrative: To Be Myself

788 Words4 Pages

Be you!I believe in the right to be who you are. If being yourself makes you happy, then do it.Block out the judgement and express who you are.
Around my sophomore year of high school, I struggled, I was always told what was cool and what wasn't. I was told what was in style the thing that made you cool, the thing that everyone had to have. I was that shy girl, always afraid of being me because I didn't want to be judged or laughed at for being myself. I was forced by someone to be what they wanted me to be, and ended up getting hurt in the end. Why should I be afraid to be me, to be happy?

Another thing, enjoying life. No, life isn't all candy and sugar. Don't let someone take

time from you being happy. I love randomly dancing around even with no music, because that's what makes me who I am, it makes me happy. I enjoy having fun in my own way. Twerking in
\Valmart randomly with friends, being stupid, and laughing over stupid things are things that make me feel free.
Why should I care what people think? Why should I hide who I am? I believe in doing

what makes you happy. Being yourself is what helps a lot of people be happy.

I am that goofy person, that person that hates to be sad, alone, or withdrawn. I don't like to share my feelings, so instead, I express my feelings when I draw. I like to be happy, I love to laugh, be that positive person, that is why you will often fmd me doing any one of these things at any given time. I will be myself no matter who is around, or how many strange looks I get from people around me.
Throughout high school, I truly found out no matter what, you can't impress everyone, you can't be everyone's friend, and you will wind up stepping on some toes. No matter what you do or where you go, there's always going to be someone judging,

For instance, if an individual is insecure about their uneven teeth because they are viewed as an imperfection, one may be less likely to willingly interact with others in fear of judgment. This lessens the amount of friendships made and overall lessens one’s confidence. On the other hand, if one is secure of who they are, it is evident in the way one communicates and their good feelings associated with life in
