Wow! This is truly a heartfelt piece of writing! I love it! You show intense emotion throughout your writing. Good job!
First off, I'm Yoshi, and welcome to YWS, @EquinoxEternity!
Now, let's get started with the review, shall we?
I hate parties, people will notice me… The fear of others seeing what I see in the mirror.
Now, since this type of writing is special, I won't ask you to correct it, but you have a run-on and a sentence fragment here. "I hate parties, people will notice me" is a run-on. In case you don't know, a Run-on is a sentence that is the incorrect form of two independent clauses put together. In this situation, your comma is misplaced. You can fix this by placing a semicolon instead. However, like I said before, this could be on purpose. Some people like to write like this-- especially in artistic works.
Next, is the fragment. In case you don't know this either, a [b]Sentence Fragment[/s] is a dependent clause enclosed within periods. "The fear of others seeing what I see in the mirror" is a sentence fragment. The subject here is obviously "fear", so what exactly is the "fear" doing? For example, you can fix this by writing, "The fear of others seeing what I see in the mirror rattles me." That's a complete sentence, and a perfectly good one too.
I hate parties… I know people will see me.
I love this line, personally. Why? You have some characteristics in this line that is hard to find. This sentence is so similar to the first sentence that it makes the reader glance back at the front to check. Kudos to you for making such a good connection! This keeps the reader interested and gives a sense of professionalism to your work.
I hate parties, There are too many people who’ll want to talk with me… too many people who expect something from me. Expectations. Expectations. Expectations…
Now this is a bit of a change in the attitude. Originally, the narrator is saying that she doesn't want others to see her skinny appearance. However, you end with the narrator feeling pressured under the expectations of others. I honestly feel there could have been a better twist at the end, but you still did fine!
Anyways, I hope you were satisfied with this review!
Cheers and Eggs!
