"Why are you so shy?" and ironically: “Why are you so loud?”. They told me both and, to be honest, I'm neither of them in particular. Different people make me react differently. And that's something I can't really control. Unless you try. As easy as it is to talk to the new girl in my class who smiles a lot, it's hard to get close to that group of girls who whisper in each other's ears. Sometimes, somehow, I find the courage to respond to that guy who irritates me and I just can't have a conversation with someone. Sometimes, I'm surrounded by new people in my new class and I still feel this way alone because I have nothing to say. That's not me.

Of course not everyone likes me but judging by my opinion there are some character traits that make me immediately interested in someone. First of all, something I really appreciate is the kindness, the positivity, the friendliness, the instant connection, the “talkativeness”. First of all, something I really appreciate in someone, including myself, is friendliness. I like people who smile a lot, engage me in conversation and make me feel comfortable around them. That's how I want to be too. Basically, a mantra of mine is “treat others as you would like to be treated”, only with a positive meaning. Therefore, I often put myself in other people's shoes and think: "Would I like it or not?" It's nice to be around friendly people. They are sociable and pleasant companions, who always know how to say things in the right way, even when they question the behavior of others. Works Cited: Leder, M. (Director). (2000).
