Research Paper On Social Norms

To begin with, social norms are the building blocks of our everyday interactions with people and the world. Socializing using language in order to communicate is something we have automatically learned without even thinking about it since our early stages. With that in mind, after violating the norm mentioned above I felt extremely different. In a way that I couldn’t believe what I have done, and kept thinking how awkward that was. Needless to say I’m still embarrassed while typing this essay. I keep on thinking about the waitress confused reaction to my weird behavior. I honestly felt so embarrassed, ashamed, weird, uncomfortable, and neglected. A feeling of neglection because I was being out of the ordinary, acting and behaving differently
from the rest, so I feel like I was unwanted there. At first when I walked in the restaurant, I thought it was going to be easy to pretend and do something out of my ordinary actions. However, when seen the waitress coming forward I got extremely nervous and found it extremely difficult to look at her, due to the embarrassment I was feeling by walking in without a reservation or waiting to be seated. Main reason why I just decided to ignored her and not say a word thought out the entirely visit to the restaurant, which was not part of what I wanted to do! However, due to the situation I had placed myself to I found it difficult to say a word. Walking out in front of her was the hardest however, but I couldn’t wait for her to leave since I was starting to experience leakage and could feel my heart rising. This experienced was not fun at all
