This Room

MILD TRIGGERING CONTENT.

Unknown P.O.V.

We, complete strangers are put into a room for 8 hours everyday. We talk but when we go out of that room, we go back to who we were before. Strangers.

From my time here, I've noticed some things about the other people here with me. They all have a story, atleast from what I see.

The first person wants to blend in. E wants to be popular and wants to be one of the "popular" people. E even does things like get in trouble just to do that and makes stupid comments. E isn't liked that much... E thinks E will become more liked but that's not going the direction E wants it to be. Is E liked? Maybe. Is E liked more? Maybe not. Is E's way of getting people to like E effective? I don't know. I like being myself and this offends and affects me a little. E should please themselves and not change for other people. Maybe that's just how I see it.

V is a silent one. V never talks. Never. V isn't very sociable, obviously. This affects everyone around V in terms of communication. What if there was an emergency? Would V handle this well and finally speak or go on without either of us knowing what V's voice sounds like? I want to let V's voice be heard. Maybe V has anxiety and is nervous to let their opinions and voice be heard. Everyone's voice should be heard and I want to help V's voice be heard. If only V would try.

E doesn't get things done. We get assigned to do things sometimes and most of the time, E just looks likes they aren't trying and isn't caring at all. Does E not like to do work? Does E just want to be free and have no initial to do anything? Does E not see a point in doing these things? Did E go through something that E could care less about the rest of the world? Does E just want to do something else? Unfortunately, I may never know.

R is similar to E. They actually talk frequently, all day actually. Along with another person, but more about that person later. So R actually asks for help sometimes but acts like R doesn't really need it and carries on to R's crazy antics. I think R is just being lazy. Again, they have to try. Everyone in this world has to try. Maybe...maybe they're hurting inside but don't want to show it. Just maybe.

Y doesn't seem to have confidence in themselves. They smile when they make a mistake or when they get a low score. Does Y not want to accomplish anything? Did something happen to them that made them think that they aren't good enough and the only way to get through things is to smile and be happy at their own failure? No one should be happy at someone else's failure, especially their own. Y should strive to improve more than to be happy with their mistakes. I think that they're trying though. At times, I see them trying to not fail so I guess they're getting better.

O tries their best. People make fun of them everyday and I see that it hurts them. No one should be laughed at and judged for who they are, no matter how they look. Why are people these days so judge mental? O stays strong and fights but sometimes has to let it out. They're human too. They break too. It hurts when you try your best but in return, you get insults thrown your way.

N is...well N has a very interesting character. They seem to like catching the attention of others. They seem to want to have someone by their side ALL the time. They can be loud and annoying and...well very...very energetic that they sometimes annoy other people. When something goes wrong for THEM, hell breaks loose, like a minor hell. They get mad at everyone that makes contact, physically and verbally, with them. Other times, they're just sad and don't talk to anyone then suddenly laugh and cry at the same time. Maybe something happened to N to cause them to act like this. Is something going on at home? Is N...ok? Are they...broken? Well, everyone is.

E likes to try but gets pulled into antics. They work hard and try to exceed but laziness can get to you too. E is also accused of many things due to their mischievous and playful behaviour. They might be one of the carefree people in this room. They have an aura around them that shouts easy going and they smile. Frequently. They somehow cheer up anyone they know. They're almost TOO carefree. Are they just hiding the fact that they're broken? But are they even? I mean, they're human too, so they have to be broken, somehow. I'm getting a little dark here but...E is going to break sometime. Or they are, but they don't want to show it. I mean, who wants to admit that they're hurting? Who wants to be a burden to everyone around them? E obviously doesn't want to.
