1/ I think that it is not important because people can't change their appearance but what matters is what is inside.
2/ No, I don't, I actually think that people that have good looks can be very mean because they think people will immediately  like them.
3/ My best friend is amazing, s/he is always there for me. That is the most important. I think my friend is beautiful but I appreciate his/her heart more.
4/ I think it is important to be kind, and not get mean even if life is mean to you. Many people get small salaries and have problems at home but still manage to be kind and you feel welcome with them, I think this is the most important quality I appreciate in people. It is also said in the Bible, that whoever slaps you on the right cheek, you should turn the other cheek also.
5/ I think the best about me is that I am constantly learning to become better. I can tell when I've upset someone and I try to learn from it.
6/ I would love to be able to stay positive no matter what, because sometimes, for example, when I'm feeling under pressure by schoolwork, I get irritated, but I would love to be able to keep my cool
7/ It is somewhat important. Nobody likes people that are proud and too sure of themselves, and if you are not very shy you can easily embarrass yourself if you fail.
8/ Sometimes, I feel like when the person is talking so much they don't really care about what  I have to say and just want to speak endlessly.
9/ I feel a little shy, because I want to make the best impression on them. I want people to think that I'm a great person and show my best sides so it is natural to feel a little awkward.
10/ I am good at meeting new people because I want to have many friends, and with every person I meet I find something that we have in common
11/ I think it is good, but the best and most balanced way is to be realistic. When youŗe optimistic you can overlook some situations that could potentailly damage you.
12/ I think that a person can have many friends, because a person has many sides and likes different things. For example, I share my interest in art with my friends from music school, but I also discuss rap music with my friends from dance class.I think having many friends and listening to different opinions makes you smarter.
