William Gabriel Tan

My name is William Gabriel Tan. I am a 17 year old student who lives in Manila. I like music, photography, arts, movies, and food.

And I am the guy with a poor self esteem. I am the guy who never believed in my capability of doing things; it could be just me being a pessimist about almost everything. But to be honest, I never believed in myself. Every time I am about to do something, the first thing that comes to my mind is "Hindi ko kaya yan" or " "Mas magaling naman sila eh". Though I grew up with a negative mindset, I still practice myself to become fully devoured by the positive side of life. I grew up believing I am not good enough for anything, that's why it became so hard for me to become positive about things.

I love doing things by myself. Being alone makes me feel so comfortable. I always have the feeling of being relaxed and not thinking about anyone else except myself. Thinking about complicated things that confuse me help me to feel at ease.

I am not comfortable being around with a lot of people. Their noise really irritates me and it makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't usually approach other people because I am constantly paranoid that they are secretly judging me. Even when I am in front of a crowd, I'm always having the same thought.

Being with people is not my thing, to be honest. I would rather be alone doing projects, eating, or playing video games than to communicate with other people.

Some are calling me 'Anti-social'; but I think the right term is INTROVERT. I am an introvert and at the same time, a pessimist.
