Web lecture 3 talks about how we engage in impression management everyday. For instance, when I am around my older sister I can act silly with her all the time. One time when I helped her vacuum her car we would just laugh because of the loud sound the vacuum makes. I know everyone is probably thinking that is really weird, but that’s how silly I can get when being around my sister.
In the classroom, I am a total different person. I hardly ever talk in class unless someone needs help or has a question. I usually just sit there and take my notes. Overall, in the classroom setting I feel like being silly is inappropriate and I just need to be professional.
When I am around my friends it is nonstop loudness and everyone calls me giggles because I am the one always laughing.
Overall, from reading the web lecture I can now see how impression management does relate to everyday life.

hello,
I can relate that also because I am also do things or act a certain way around my friends than when I am with my parents and most of the time i hardy notice the changes. Most of the time it when i am around my friends and my parents at the same time my friend point out the sudden change. around my friend I do things and partake in things that i my parent may not agree with but i am my own person and have to find my way by living my life and figuring things out on my own, but around my parents i respect the fact that they do not agree with certain things or dislike certain thing so i chose not to throw it in their faces. I do not hide things from them but i given them the chance to want to know or not to know.
