In life, we will meet lots of people, some will remain close to us while others will go and become distant. Some are able to connect with usemotionally or share common interest. Some are able to inspire us to be better and bring out the best in us. We all need that someone that truly understands you and always there for you whenever you need them and never leave regardless of who you are or what you did. As for me, I need them and I need them badly.
I honestly wouldn’t thought of writing a journal about my social life, about my relationship with my friends, my family and the people around me who comes and go. But, as time passed, I suddenly have the urge to write about it cause it always bothers me whenever I met people. When I go to public or meet with new people, I always think about how people will look at me? how would they see me? Do I look good or not? What will their first impression be?

As for me, I’m just lack of those. I do have friends but I seldom think that they’re my true friends because I’m always by my own and I always end up being isolated. I do not blame them for isolating me because it’s me who wanted to be isolated. I always think that I don’t have time to socialize and precieve it as a waste of time. I have this ‘thinking’ that if I go out with them and spend two to three hours of talking useless things, the time I used to chat with them is equal to the amount of time required for me to finish one chapter of biochemistry. So, rather than chatting with my friends, its better for me to read the lecture
The essay “Your Social Life: Are You a Fox or a Hedgehog?” is written by Pamela Haag and can be found on pages 398-400. Haag discusses in her essay the two types of social groups: foxes, and hedgehogs. The generations before social media would be, mostly, classified as hedgehogs and the generations after social media would be, mostly, classified as foxes. Foxes have broad friend bases but shallow relationships. On the other hand, hedgehogs have narrow friend bases and deep relationships with more meaning.
Growing up as Hmong-American youth, I was raised by a father who joined the military when he was twelve years old. He was forced into the Vietnam war fighting for safety, peace, and a relationship with the United States of America. Through this military influence and discipline at such a young age, my father accepted the military lifestyle. He carried it over from the Vietnam war to my family today. Growing up, my father was always strict on me, especially when it came to my appearances and education.
from my personal experience every single time i was greeted with "hello" people often smiled and you could easily tell that they
I think that many people are lonely because they feel like nobody is there for them, because some people do not have a great deal of people around them to help them or to just be there for them. Another thing is that, some people really want someone to be there for them but they feel they can’t tell others what is going on or how they feel because people might judge them or have rude comments about it, so they feel like they have deal with it all by themselves. Some people might say, why do they not tell someone or try and make new friends, but what that person does not know is that, that person might not be able to just meet new people and make friends because they generally do not have people there for them so they can not do this as easily
Once I think why I have no friends, I find out, I have to change and improve myself. Before, I wandering for friends, but after I change myself, I become an insider. I got friends, but even I have friends, I could see some outsider with no friend. The insiders act kind to the outsider, only when they are face to face. The inside may find some ways to walk away from the outside.
Introduction: Who Am I? Every person in the world has come to be where they are in a different way. Each possesses different traits and characteristics that influence how their lives will carry out. These different characteristics make up an individual’s social location.
They are my helpers and mentors; without them, I would not be where I am
These relationships are very important to me. I have shared many laughs and great times with my friends and I cannot imagine a life where I did not make these types of relationships with
Have you ever felt different? Growing up, I always felt out of place. I felt like there was something wrong with me. I thought of myself as an outsider. I would look at everyone around me and try to figure out what they have that I don’t.
Life for me growing up was super difficult. A lot of my childhood was pure traumatic. Also, it was a struggle for me and my family, money wise and food wise. Also, our house was very small. We even lost our father and I also became a teen mom.
