I did the same things with my mom in hopes of getting contrasting reactions. During lunch, someone else took mine and my friends “spot” in the lunchroom and I recorded the reactions of my friends. While none of these are decided or assigned to anyone in particular we like to claim these spaces as our own.

Personal space is a big deal to me, which is why I decided to do this one. That way I can record my own reaction as well as others. While people were talking to me, I got closer and closer to them.

Same happened at the dinner table, neither of them thought it that big of a

To add fuel to the fire, I was already an anxiety ridden child when it came to my parents. Needless to say, I was not one that worked well with the change. That is why when my mother first brought her new boyfriend over I was not exactly thrilled. He did not look like my dad (not that he should), he did not act like dad, and most importantly he was not my father. My mother went about the situation the best way any other mother in her position would.
