Are you impressed?
Have you ever changed yourself to impress another? I like to think I haven't, but actually, we all have. I'm currently sitting in St. John's University in Jamaica, New York. I glanced over my shoulder at the computer next to mine, at which there is a master student (she refers to herself this way in terms of being at St.John's for six years) writing a paper. The word "efficacious" came up about 3 times. When was the last time you used the word efficacious, without having to impress someone?
In terms of "impressing others" we tend to get out of our normal personalities and slip into a different person. Whether it be impressing the opposite sex, professors/teachers, bosses, or parents, the fact is that everyone does it. Out of pure curiosity, I decided to get a second opinion on this concept.
[Writer:Q.A.Headen,Jr.] What is the deep need for one to impress another? This can be due to the inadequatecies that one can find within themselves. An individual may not like their lives, their jobs, their homes, so they tend to imbelish the truth to seem better.
I feel as though it's not usually necessary to impress others in terms of opposite sex, or professors/teachers or authority. If you were to let yourself be YOU, they may like YOU better than what you are trying to be. I'm not trying to give any motivational speech or anything of the sort. More or less just trying to understand the actual art of "impressing others".
