i waited for a guy to walk past before bottle flipping in front of his eyes and i think it was the most anxiety inducing thing i ever did. but because i knew i had a friend filming this for me i felt less alone. but these violations of social norms in a negative manner would not only reflect badly on me, but my parents and the school as well. my parents have raised me my whole life and imparted their values on me as i grew up with them. thus acting abnormally in public could reflect badly on them. it would also not reflect well on np since a school is expected to uphold good values and instil that in every student, and violating social norms does not reflect that that job has been done well

I felt very nervous and awkward when I was breaking the norms as I rarely do this type of things in public and I felt that people will judge me negatively when I waved at the air . I copied with the feeling by sitting back down and acting like I did nothing after I finished waving . Unsurprisingly there was almost no reaction as everybody were focused on eating their meal or taking to their friends and almost nobody waved back at me or stared at me like I expected . I do not think this action is related to violation of NP rules as I did nothing illegal or did any harm to any properties , environment or anyone .

I felt very nervous when approaching the stranger to offer to pay for his drink. Since it is uncommon for people to offer to pay for their expenses (like food & drinks), I was nervous of how would the other person would react. I coped with this felling by telling myself that I am doing a good deed/ doing something good. They were a little shocked at first, but agreed in the end. I do not think that this norm-breaking behavior does not violate NP values, as it is something good, even though it is a norm-breaking behavior.

In the video I approached a stranger to offer to pay for his drink for him. I was abit awkward about approaching a stranger and he was also surprised as it was out of the ordinary to approach a stranger like this. The social norm when queueing up is to js queue up and pay for your own food. The action did not violate any NP values as it is a good deed.

It was slightly awkward as it was in the lift lobby where other classes were there and many people stared at me with wierd looks. It is out of the norm for me and many people as it was sheltered so there's no reason to pull out my umbrella .

I decided to give our security guard a drink, which seemed pretty norm-breaking to me. I felt quite awkward and uncomfortable as I wasn't sure if he would accept a gift from a stranger (me). However, I mustered up my courage to approach him and before I could feel the fear, it was over. It could be that the experience was my first one, and I was too focused on thinking of what to say to break the awkwardness, that made me almost forget the fear. The thought of "getting it over and done with before the weekend" was also a drive for me to act. He acted surprisingly calm, accepting the drink with a polite nod and thanks, which made me less anxious if I were to do it again. After the incident, I felt proud of myself, not only did I do something good, it reflects a good way on me, the school, and my family, which pushes me to want to do it more often.

Eating while standing up made me feel really out of place, as my actions are very uncommon especially in a place that has a lot seating. What made me feel even more uncomfortable was the fact that I was doing it in a crowded public place, with lots of people. It made me reflect on how the need to be "centre" and "normal" has really driven society to act in a certain way. They dare not act outside of "normal" as they are fearful of judgement. I am glad to have experienced this as I really stepped out of my comfort zone and did something that was highly "unusual".

The Norm-breaking behavior I did was I bought 2 bottle of drinks to give to 2 different people to see the 2 respective people's reaction. I gave to the seniors who have graduation day on that day thus making the drinking more meaningful for them as well. I gave the drinks to 2 different people. For the first person that I went up to, I felt very anxious as you can see from the video, I became frantic and indecisive if I should approach him. I might have reacted overboard as I touch their arm because I was panicking. Once I approach him, I feel very uncomfortable and stutter a little as the action of buying drinks for someone is uncommon to me. For the second person, I still feel anxious to approach but once I approach him I feel less uncomfortable and become more confident. How I cope with this feelings is have the mindset of just approach them without giving myself time to contemplate. I gave the 2 bottle at two different location, one at the atrium and another outside the atrium. The reaction from both person was different, the first person was more outgoing and reply back to me while the second person nodded his head without saying anything. Both accepted my drink. For the Social norm behavior that I did, does not violate any of the NP value as I did not do anything illegal. However, some social norm are illegal and might be portray as a public nuisance and this will affect the NP values by letting the publics have a bad impression of the school since it was link to the school. For parent, it will bring disappointment as no parents would like to see their child do anything that break the law. It will demoralize the parents as they might think that they did not portray a good role model to them .

I proceeded to cut a fellow customer’s queue when she was making her order at a café. Doing so made me feel embarrassed and guilty as this is not something I would do, and it is definitely a norm-breaking behaviour. As it is of basic courtesy and respect to wait in line and queue for your turn, my abrupt behaviour made me feel uneasy as well. Even though the female customer did not say anything, she gave me a stare which displayed her unhappiness towards my unjustified and rude behaviour. To cope with my feelings, I apologised and laughed it off at the end. I feel that people’s reactions towards norm-breaking behaviours are subjective and irrelative to one’s age or gender. It would depend on one’s character and upbringing, as well as the person’s mood at the moment. In my case, the female customer’s reaction was considered mild and justifiable. Violation of social norms reflects one’s degree and association with/of the values they uphold. Self respect and respect towards others, the environment, are values often being put to the test in today’s society. To act responsibly is to respect oneself and who or what one is associated with. If I were to act irresponsibly and violate social norms, it wouldn’t only be my character that is questioned, but also if my parents gave me a proper upbringing, or whether my school’s environment allows for such behaviours to be cultivated.

The norm-breaking act that I did was wearing a jacket but with my bag inside.
I felt awkward about people around don't seem to have any reactions. I feelings did not have any changes throughout and I try shift my attention to other stuff so that I will feel less awkward.
Some violation of social norm are quite disrespecful to others ormaybe could even bring dangers to others. Those acts are also very irresponsible and violates the Np values which might bring bad image to school.

Taking lift normally was too mainstream, I decided to try to do it differently, as some people might feel offended when you stare at them, I decided to try it with a random guy. In the lift I stand close to him staring at him, I can almost look into his soul. After the lift door opens I walk backwards and I can see that he was judging me like "what is wrong with this guy?", Thankfully I didn't get whack.

I went to sit down on the floor and use the chair as my table even though there is a table right beside me. I did get some reaction from the 2 guys near me

I bought a drink for my friend which I usually don’t do, and she was surprised by what I did.

I saw a lonely guy waiting outside Cheers and I had an extra drink with me. So I decided to offer him a drink as an act of kindness. Upon hearing my offer, he was surprised and initially apprehensive, but I persuaded him. This made me realise that such a simple act of kindness was a shock to him as it is not the societal norm to be kind to strangers.

I bought a drink for the guy in front of me when we were waiting around in the queue of the drink stall. I felt very scared and embarrased that he would reject the drink because i am introverted, this was not a very serious norm breaking action so i guess i was not super scared. He accepted it quite quickly probably because he is nice and he was kind of shocked but not very also. I guess this kind of acts are becoming more and more normal so it is not a very norm breaking action anymore

How to make a situation extremely awkward 🫠

# data[].attributes.body
When walking down the street we usually wouldn’t care about others and just focus on either talking to our friend or looking at our phone, but now, i showed a heart to a stranger when walking. I felt very embarrassed and felt like was being judge by the stranger. However if i was on the receiving end, i believe i would also think the same way and wonder like, “is she showing it to me?” “do i know her?” “what’s wrong with her?”, but i do believe it will light up that person day if these aren’t out of the norm acts

normally when we walk past people we would not say anything and just continue heading to the direction which we are headed to, so i decided to break the social norm by going up to a stranger and saying happy birthday to her. while walking towards them, i felt nervous as i was worried that they would question my actions. however, the girl said thank you which helped to make the situation less awkward while her friend asked me what was that for. i explained things to her afterwards and we laughed it off .

Was at NEX and saw one auntie eating a ready to go lunch and noticed that she had no drink with her. Being the kindhearted and warm person I am , I decided to buy her an apple juice drink that was refreshing. I made sure that she could enjoy the drink and finish eating her food without choking on it due to a dry throat. I feel that I empathised with her and put myself in her shoes, and at the same time did something good.

Initially, I was supposed to take the lift but upon entering the lift and pressing on my level, I chose to exit the lift, leaving the other user confused as to why I would exit the lift.
