this is my outline for the people watching thing

I. Introduction
A. This Observed man is in need of friendship and security in his life.
B. Thesis: This observed man can be seen as insecure, afraid of rejection and attention starved when considering his unnaturally dark hair, his tense body language, and walking speed.
II. Body
A. Unnaturally dark hair
1. The man’s darkened hair points to an insecurity with himself
a. He most likely dyes his hair because he feels he is inadequate, and his natural hair color is unacceptable.
b. His hair was extremely dark and shiny because of the gel he put in it, which further points to a want to change himself.
2. The man’s darkened hair points to a fear of rejection
a) He dyes his hair because of his want to please others, and fear of being disliked by another person
b) Whether people realize it or not, people dye their hair in order to do the same thing, win acceptance from others
B. His tense body language
3. The man’s tense body language points to a stressed mind due to fear of rejection
a. He appears relaxed at first glance but upon further inspection, his arms are stiff on each arm of his chair, his stomach is protruding, and his neck is stiff looking around slowly.
b. He could be sitting like that because he is afraid of judgment, if he sits too casually people could judge him negatively
1. The man’s tense body language points to a strengthening insecurity
a. He sits like this because he fells the way he sits comfortably is wrong or bad
C. His waking speed and drink consumption
1 . The man’s walking speed is the final stage of a fear of rejection
a. The man just bolted out before he could finish his drink with no known cause. He could have felt a rejection by the others sitting around him who weren’t talking to him.
b. The way he sipped his drink as he was dashing out could be a nervous tick
2. The man’s walking speed points to a need for attention
a. The way he dashed out so abruptly did get him some turning heads, he could have done it because he knew if he went out then he would get his attention.
