One time i felt anonymous was the first time i started high school. It was rough at first because i had that looming feeling of being alone since most of my friends were in different schools at the time. Learning how to start over again bothered me because that would mean i will have to socialize and find new people to hangout with. I wouldn’t call myself anti-social but more of being lazy towards situations where i have to put in the energy of talking to different kinds of people. I love having conversations with anybody however, the topic within the conversation has to be interesting for me to engage in. So for about a week or 2 at the beginning of the semester, i chose not to make any friends yet and remain to myself towards the end of the semester. Through many close encounters with others i eventually gained a lot of friends at the end. It worked out at the end of it all since I’ve learned to be more positive and more importantly be my true to myself.
Great learning experience!
