Once you understand what is counts as a simile and what counts as a metaphor it would become more easier.

A simile is a comparison of at least two things using the words "like" or "as".

For example, the usage of a simile can include:

<em>Tom is </em><em>like</em><em> a mountain goat, leaping from one rock to another</em>.

Note the comparison of Tom to a mountain goat, and the usage of "like", or being similar too.

Another example can be:

<em>James was </em><em>as</em><em> brave </em><em>as</em><em> a lion, strong </em><em>as </em><em>a bear, leapt like a gazelle, and </em><em>as </em><em>smart as Einstein.</em>

Note the comparison of James to many different animals as well as a famous person.

The next thing that you should be learning is Metaphor, which is kind of related to similes.

Metaphors is a comparison, but without using the words "like" or "as"

For example, the usage of a metaphor can include:

<em>Her long hair flowed down like a river</em>.

While "like" or "as" was not used, her hair was compared to a river.

When you understand this concept it would be very very useful, especially when writing essays. Most of the time you may need to compare things, such as products, ideas/beliefs, and even different civilizations within a time period (specifically in history class). Understanding how to use similes & metaphors can help enhance your writing.

You don't need to worry about labeling yourself if it's stressing you out this much. You of course can try to figure it out, but you really don't need to label yourself.

(I'm really sorry if this comes off as insensitive, I'll help more if you need it <3)
