Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino was a different person on ‘Jersey Shore’
When Jersey Shore started, Sorrentino was self-absorbed and confrontational. But today, he’s an inspiration to his fans and his roommates as a “force of positivity.”
“Over the past couple of years, I have faced some tough battles,” Sorrentino shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet in January 2021. “What has helped me was to believe in myself and these positive affirmations. I’m very proud of my journey and how I got here.”
Sorrentino lives by words like “the comeback is always greater than the setback” and “be better, not bitter.” Instead of focusing on negativity, he chooses to be a force of positivity. “Life is gonna happen,” said the reality star. “However, it’s how you present yourself and how you fight those battles that are really key. And that’s why a positive mental attitude is so important.”
Sorrentino even has a positive attitude about his not-so-shining moments from the early days of Jersey Shore.
‘Jersey Shore’ made Mike the person he is today
During an interview on The Wendy Williams Show, Sorrentino mentioned not having any regrets from the original Jersey Shore. “Obviously I’d like to say yes, but if you don’t make mistakes you don’t actually become the person you are today,” the reality star told guest host Michael Rapaport. “Those mistakes that I made 10 years ago — that experience has made me into this person that I am today.”
