Overcoming My Social Autobiography
A challenge I had while attending UCLA was the social aspect during Fall Quarter. I live in a Plaza room with a private bathroom, so naturally my hall was not as social. Furthermore, those around me were all getting involved with Greek Life and had their own busy agendas. The different schedules of the people I met made it hard to meet up or find times to eat together and hangout. I was always an outgoing and extroverted individual throughout high school, but once I came to UCLA, I found it harder to make friends in the large classes or to just go up to someone on campus and introduce myself. However, I definitely have started to overcome these social challenges. I decided to engage in activities that might be out of my comfort zone such as

    When I was younger, I always accepted the words of my parents without any second thought. Maybe I was afraid to protest the authority figures in my life, or maybe I was too afraid to speak for myself. I learned not to question anyone. I became subdued and submissive, I felt my creativity being stifled. Introverted , quiet people were not welcome in this household, and were made into extroverts, whether or not it affected their well-being. Socialization has affected my life in many ways, as it does for every human being on Earth.…

    For about as long as I could remember, my wish has always been to fit in, and be well-liked by everyone. I began acting a certain way that wasn’t me, and even began to lose my identity. I followed all trends and began to lose more and more of my identity as time chipped away. This all stopped as soon as high school began. High school was such a disquieting transition along with all of the new changes I’d be facing. New classmates, teachers, subjects, and responsibilities. I was now required to think twice before every move and concentrate on everything more adequately. All these changes made me begin to realize that I should learn more about my identity and do what makes me tranquil and content as a person.…

    Life is like a masquerade, everyone wears a mask to conceal their flaws, weaknesses, fears, and past mistakes. Everyone wears a mask to hide the fact that they’re human.

The wisest and most intelligent people are the ones that make mistakes and learn from them.…

    I grew up in the small town of Plymouth, Wisconsin, with my parents and my little brother. We were a middle class family during my childhood days but declined to that of a working class family as I grew into my teenage years, according to my mom. The shift in our social class was due to 3 major events which I have pinpointed as: my dad being laid off from his job for several months, my mom’s business declining, and the time when the economy tanked around 7-8 years ago (which is what lead to the first 2 events). My mom said that these days we could probably technically be referred to as lower middle class, but we’re considered working class because my parent’s don’t have white collared jobs. I realize that as a child and even a teenager I never…

    Have you never had people laugh around you and you immediately think they’re laughing at you? What about counting your money at least 10 times before actually paying, because you don’t want to be in a situation where people might think you’re “stupid”, well I go through this daily. I’m socially anxious and to be honest,this disorder limits me in my everyday life. Being socially anxious makes me miss many opportunities where I could potentially better myself. I have had many opportunities to shine throughout my life, but I didn’t take any of those chances because I lack so much confidence, and I have a huge fear of embarrassment.…

    Junior year was the year I got myself together. I realized school is really important, without school you can't do nothing in life. I wasn't focus on girls, how I look, many more stuff that has nothing to do with school. Last year was the time I had to focus on myself and start thinking what i’m going to do after school. Junior year I set many goals for myself, this was the only way I could accomplish things. One of those goals was coming to school on time, cause I have a serious issue not waking up on time. Another goal was getting excellent grades, this was important goal for me, because I never had A’s before or any good grade it was always average grades and I knew i could do better than that. My first time getting merit roll was a big moment for me, because this would motivate me to keep going. Explaining this…

    Why is fitting in so hard? Is it because I have to change about myself so much? Or the fact that I have to suffer trying so hard? I guess all of it becomes just a little too much, but I hope that soon the fog will clear up. That is something that I always have to remind myself when I just can’t take it anymore. I have these feelings bottled up and it’s really hard to not cry, especially when I have stress taking over me at the same time. Emotions and stress are getting bigger and bigger by the minute, but I’ve learned to take a deep breath, and cry it out because I realized that it’s not good to keep emotions is, but at the same time I want to be brave or strong. So it’s hard.…
