    I felt the same way until I realized it didn't really matter. If they don't respect you enough fuck them. You can find people who accept everything about you. If you don't you're better off alone than treated like shit

    Be yourself. If they really are your friend then they will accept you. If they can't accept who you are, then they are not worthy of your friendship. You're still young and you're in college so there are still a lot of chances that you could find other people who will accept you. :)

    Just be yourself and do not change to please anyone! :) If you are yourself you will come across someone who likes you for you. Try to talk to different people and always say hi and be nice even if you feel you have nothing in common with those people. Some of my friends now in high school I did not not think I would be friends with them, but they turned out to be really nice and really good friends. Trust me I do not have many friends, but a couple of good friends. All you need is a good friend or two.

    Being a loner is ok. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, eventually you will find people that respect you for you and screw those girls I mean girls are caddy who needs them to feel secure?

    If you ask me you should ditch them and hang with some people that you share some common interests with for example, join a club that your interested in and you will meet people that are like you. Good luck. Hope this helped!

      Agreed. However, from my experience actively trying to find people to connect with doesn't work either. I have found that if the poster would just keep being himself, and not give-in to the pressure to fit in and adjust his personality in order to make social contact one or more people who feel the same way will eventually find their way to him. It really only takes one 'cool' person who is willing to connect with him and introduce him to other like-minded people to find his place.

    If you look for differences, you'll find it; if you look for commonality you'll (eventually) find that too.

    Be confidant and keep looking. Don't let yourself be detered by a few dirty looks.
