Personal Narrative: Feeling Guilty
A lot of people wonder is it possible to do something wrong and not feel guilty for it afterwards, the answer for me is yes. Although my answer differs for situations for this situation I don't think I have ever felt guilty. My sister and I are the same size, we love to share clothing and most to all times are civil about borrowing clothes. Then, there are some points when a simple day getting ready turns into a screaming match. The conversation starts out civil and then slowly turns into something very far from civil. A typical morning starts out very calm and quiet then usually all hell breaks loose after showers...when it's time to pick out outfits for school.
You may be wondering why I would or would not have to feel guilty about picking

First I start off by showering before her because this is the most crucial part of the plan,while she is in the shower I sneak into her room but I have to be careful because my mom is awake before us every morning. After I make sure i'm clear to go into the room I go quick but I just don't look around I go in knowing what I want to get, after I grab what I want I go back into my room and put clothes under my pillow. Sydney gets out and starts to get dressed, next thing you know I hear a knocking on my door and well you know how the conversation goes. The best part is waiting for to look around my room and she doesn't find it. Once she finds another outfit, I put the clothes on and come up with yet another elaborate lie as to where I found them
This habit of mine causes a lot of issues as well between me, my sister Sydney, and my mom. Now there are strict rules of going in rooms and I have to be careful when I try to take stuff or my mom will get made and maybe take something away. I have never felt guilty though even with all the stricter rules in place and the constant morning hell hole fights I have to endure. I find it kinda fun in a way, it's just fun to sneak and hide then never really get caught. Yes I can lie and do something wrong without feeling guilty, can

    What do you see when you look in the mirror? Are you pleased, or do you immediately come up with an endless list of insecurities? As a child one of my favorite memories was laying around the house with my older sister on rainy days. We would leave the windows open so we could hear the rain coming down on the tin roof over our patio, while watching reruns of our favorite tv show “America's Next Top Model”. I always thought that these women were gorgeous and I would catch myself constantly comparing their looks to my own. I wanted to be just like them until I realized the unrealistic expectations that they had to live up to. A sizeable butt and breasts, but not too large; they have got to be proportional. A skinny waist, impeccable hair, blemish free face although even with clear skin you are expected to cake on makeup because no one is actually pretty without mile long eyelashes, the perfect smoky eye, and exemplary contouring. Society has idolized these things as “beautiful” and shamed the girls that do not meet these standards; however, society should be making everyone feel confident in their bodies. Girls need to know that it is okay not to have an “hourglass figure” so they don’t…

    I just moved to a kid infested neighborhood. I was 18 so I had no interest in going outside and playing with the 12-14 year old kids. I thought it would be okay moving there, but they're so annoying, doing there kid stuff and writing skate boards which I've done myself and probably annoyed many people so I didn't tell them anything. Anyway my mom lives with me because step dad recently died. This house had been so weird, I don't know if it's me or like I said, the house. There's always weird noises and the weirdest part is that there is this rug that always appears in different places when I get home. My mom doesn't say anything about it because she has bad memory loss and always loses things. Someone needed to do something about this house or rug because i'm starting to get scared and lose it.…

I was cruising dirt roads in my jeep with a couple of friends, and we weren’t making very good choices that day . we were all drinking beer even though we were only 16, and I decided to try and show off for my friends and drift around a corner .

    There are many influences on emotional behavior like personality, culture, gender, social convention, and more, but one that I have a constant struggle with and try to address, is fear of self-disclosure, which means the fear of revealing information about himself or herself to another and risk unpleasant consequences. I'm one of those people that tries to be honest all the time, but deep down I usually don't disclose really deep personal things about me. It's not that I'm afraid of what people will think because people will always judge. I'm not here to please everyone, just the people I care about. It's that I personally feel vulnerable. I don't want to show vulnerability in front of others. I do disclose personal information about myself…

    For my norm violation, I decided to go out into a public place and briefly interact with complete strangers. To achieve this, I decided to simply say hi to individuals as they passed by me. In picking my location, I wanted to be somewhere with a lot of foot traffic. Ultimately, I decided to go to Fred Meyer on a Saturday, when I knew it would be busier, and start saying hi to unsuspecting shoppers. Even though this was a minor norm violation, it still made me feel very uncomfortable. Each time I went to speak I became nervous and scared people would respond to me negatively. After pushing through the awkwardness, however, and saying hello to large handful of people, I seemed to be getting a handful of the same reactions. People would either…
