To be honest, I have encountered several people throughout my life. However, one of the most frustrating ones is my classmate, whom I got to know in high school. In fact, I am quite dissatisfied with his personality and overall behavior. This individual is bad tempered and unwilling to treat others with respect. As a result, he doesn’t have any close friends or even partners. During our seminars he engages in several activities that are disturbing. For instance, he prioritizes watching recordings with loud background sounds on social media. Therefore, we aren’t able to ensure our concentration during seminars. But over his unwilling to demonstrate his moral responsibility, for instance, he criticizes our performance by using humiliation or even verbal abuse. Therefore, it gives us a sense of embarrassment as we are struggling with a lack of self-esteem. In addition, during our teamwork, we aren’t able to perform effectively. For instance, he was reluctant to complete his tasks and has conflicts with other team members. Accordingly, we experienced failures, which was quite discouraging. All in all, I am irritated to have such a disrespectful individual in our group who prioritizes his values over others. This figure gets on my nerves as it reflects immaturity.
