Everyone Avoids me?

[Drummer Ben]

For the longest I figured I just went to school with a bunch of jerks. But as new people come along I always find it hard to get a long with anyone and maybe it's my personality. I'm a senior in high school now and here is my experience. Let's start with lunch. Everyone buys lunch at my school and I wouldn't dare eat it. I pack my own lunch and for that I stand out. Don't really care about that. People like to start random stupid arguments with me about who brings their lunch? or some random religious topic. Then they pretend I started the argument or get angry if they don't like the answer I give them. For instance:

Why do you believe in God?

Answer: because its my freedom of choice to follow him. I believe I am uplifted by him everywhere

Responce back: would you shut up about God already your annoying as hell

Answer: you asked!

It annoys the crap out of me when all I'm trying to do is mind my own business and everyone's got to be so noisy. One day I just walk to lunch go to sit down and everyone say's, "who votes Ben off the island?" And they all physically try to stop me from sitting down and tell me to go sit somewhere else. I could fight to stay but what's the point. I try sitting with softmores. Big mistake, their even more immature.

Next thing that happens is during the winter you can say I have allergies. No one around me can understand why I keep blowing my nose or sniff. It's almost a crime to act sick. The littlest things bother people.

It's the weirdest thing though. One day everyone treats me like their friend, the next everyone's getting the last laugh.

I don't really fit into any group. Not the Jocks, Mechanic Heads, Nerds, Stoners,

I guess the closest thing you could call to me is a stoner. Not that I am much of a stoner but just their free thinking lifestyle. I guess you could say I'm a mod rocker. I'm an individual and will never conform. Words cannot describe me.

What ever happened to, to each his own. Everyone has their quirks. I accept everyone and I don't question them, I mind my own business. Everyone has to try to figure out who I am? What social group am I? It pisses them off that they can't place me anyone. I'm the only person who knows who I am? These people who think they've got it all figured out got a rude awakening. I wish them luck!

I have to learn I guess that these people are never going to accept me and I have to stop trying to get everyone to accept me. I have a good two friends I can really count on. I need to stop giving everything I have to these people because I'm getting nothing in return. People sense my weakness and walk all over me. Do people mind their own &@[email protected]$?$ business in college?

My first thought, overall, people are not dicks, there are dicks, and people who are overly nice, and people in the middle who are generally cool about most stuff, Most people are cool with stuff and will act generally friendly. You however, can't fit in with ANYOONE, maybe, just maybe, its you that's up doing something wrong, and not EVERYONE else? Kind of like saying "its everyone's fault but mine?

I'm not talking from a position of ignorance, I used to be you when I was still on high school. I uses to be that guy no pone liked. But maybe its not you, maybe everyone else is a bit of a dick, for me when I was in high school, it was a bit of both.


College (here in the UK at least) thongs are a lot better, people are more friendly, more open minded, not obsessed over superficial stuff like what group you belong too or your friends, college is a much more welcoming and easy environment, chances are, much like I did, you'll be a lot better in college than high school. Just try your best to make as many friends as possible.

your right, I'm one of those people who complains they have no friends but when I finally get some I push them away. My whole life Imve been waiting for people to come to me. why? because every time I've made the move everyone has something bad to say about it. You know what though. I'm afraid of rejection, can't stand it. I try to figure out why people reject me. I tell myself I don't care but it really sucks being a loner. How would you suggest I fix this? Thanks!

Today for instance. I walk into school in a happy mood ready for the day to begin. I walk and start talking to someone and somebody sitting next to me tells me to shut up and stop talking to myself. This immature behavior even the seniors in this school gets old. I'm sure eventually probably college people will grow up and realize their lives are a serious matter. That they could be anything they put their mind to.

I've realized though its just a few people that can throw me off for the rest of the day so then it seems the whole worlds against me. When in reality, its only a few people. I need to learn to brush things off.

I'm sorry you have to go through that. People are stupid. I think you're an individual, and individuals are a threat to the status quo so the heard has to to keep you in line by ridiculing you and mocking you for standing out. Keep yourself relaxed and be ready to laugh at them when they are fat and working at Wallmart in 10 years.
