Michael Dunmore Biography

Born and raised in South Carolina and tossed around from foster home to foster home for most of my life, I have come to accept that nothing can go right because we are all destined to fail. We humans only share one common fate: death. I am looking to stand out from the croud and want to keep my rank and status. My current situation is irritating me because I cannot seem to find anyone out there who values the same high standards I do. I am feeling isolated and want to give in to carnal urges, but I cannot bring myself to appear weak in the eyes of others. I want others to see my unique qualities and character but I cannot stand to come off as needy, so instead, I have an 'I don't care' attitude and I push people away. I turn my back on those who criticize my behavior, but beneath my indifference is a person who is in desperate need of approval. I feel I am getting less than I deserve for all my hard work; however, I make no efforts to change things and try to make the best of the situation. My confidence is low but I am unable to admit that is the reason for my avoidance of conflict. I feel it is a situation that is beyond my control. My arrogance causes me to take offence quickly. Only those closest to me know deep down I am sensitive and sentimental. I struggle with my need for respect and admiration from others; I feel I need to make a name for myself. I am disappointed and let down. I feel there is no point in making new goals as they will leave me feeling the same way. I am act out by refusing to step back, stand down, or take on a minor, insignificant role.
