Nowadays, I have changed a lot, but I was introverted in my childhood. In elementary school, I hated to be noticed by others and couldn’t answer teachers’ questions because I was ashamed. I have tried to change a little bit while growing older, but I still feel ashamed and uncomfortable when noticed by others. It is amazing that I now can cover for other people and write articles.
Actually, I recently realized that I haven’t met people with sincerity after all. Although other people approached me for a favor, I used to step back and draw the boundary between me and them. Since I always took a step back, I have never fought with friends. That’s the reason why I have few friends whom I approached with my sincerity.
However, when I usually meet people for the first time, I try to be nice to them. People may think I have a lot of friends and that I can get along with various people easily, yet my real personality is quite different from what they are thinking. I always stand back and look at other people in important situations because I don’t want to be noticed by others and don’t want to feel pressure.
University life has changed many things in my life, and it also changed me a lot. The most changed things are my mind for considering other people and my attitude of treating someone sincerely. In the past, I was indifferent with how they lived or what ideas they had. There were many friends who asked me to consult about their troubles, but I had a hard time responding to them because of my indifference.
I have met various people in university, and there were many people who have come to me sincerely. I think that’s why I am now more mature. Now, as I’m living and talking with people, I can feel the boundary, which I had drawn, has become faint. Such changes in me are awkward and I am still afraid of other people’s attention. However, if I stay like I was in the past forever, I will not be able to go forward. I will be happier treating people whom I like, and who like me, with sincerity.
