Advice Question

I don't fit with the crowd.

I hate the color pink.Punk music rocks no offense to pop lovers. I am tall and skinny. I don't find a pleasure in eating junk food. Love dark colors. Ride horses. I am the exact opposite of everybody at my school. Because of this no one likes to talk to me. Does anybody else think that is wrong?

It is ok to be different but sometimes if you have nothing in common you should make an effort to find something you can talk about with your classmates like a tv show or movie you both like

It's easier than you would think to find similar interests with other people. For me it is usually though TV shows, music, and movies. For others it might be a mutual love of cooking or art. be observant there are probably other kids in your school who feel like they don't fit in. try starting a conversation with them. You might be surprised.

You don't have to fit in with The Crowd, make your own. Join a club that interests you (maybe a horse club?). You may meet people there that you didn't know shared your interest.

Yes, I do think that is wrong.
I can totally relate, though for me it's slightly different. (I'm more into rainbow colours and unique style that other people see as "freakish", for example wearing two differently coloured shoes. I listen to super-happy Japanese music, not pop. I have a pixie cut, so people think that must obviously mean I'm a lesbian, which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I'm also socially awkward... so I totally get it.) I think you should be able to listen to what you please, wear what you please, and not be judged automatically for it. People seem to be convinced that you can know a person perfectly simply by observing what they wear, but it is not that simple. I think that, by the sounds of it, you'd fit in well in an urban area, because in urban places, people of all different styles and fashions can be friends and are generally more accepting of one another. I wish you luck with all this!

Its not right but sadly being different can have that effect. But as a 35 year old woman without a man in her life and not bothered, who has an interest in steam engines which I never told school friends about because I knew I would get teased. I also am knock kneed so doing childhood things like skipping and jumping I found difficult or impossible. I totally understand your problem. I have turned into a bit of a loaner but I was always told to be myself so I am.

Yea.. that is wrong. :\ I'm friends with people who are way diffrent from me. Some of us don't like the same things at all, but we're still friends :) And when you're friends with people who like different things, you might start liking those things too

Hey, I'm also the exact opposite of everybody at my school. I listen to grunge music, if something goes wrong, I say it, and I'm not afraid of staying alone, when every one else is stressed out of eating all by them selves. But, I have some friends. Try to show people what a great person you are, and, aside from that, I'm sorry, I don't know what to say.

To me, you sound just like most people who think that they don't fit in. But you do.
You fit in with the billions of other people like you who claim to not fit in. If some people claim not to "fit in" because they don't like dark colors, like punk, and hate junk food, then it becomes a trend. Which it is.
So you don't not fit in. You do fit in.

I can't give you much advice on how to make friends because I haven't figured that out myself. But I know how you feel.

I'm the complete opposite of people in my part of the world. I always wear skirts. I go to church almost every service. I love riding horses. (Yay horse lovers!!!) I'm shy. I'm a girl, but I feel more comfortable hanging around boys. I wear what I want; I don't care if it went out of style 20 years ago. Yeah. I know exactly where you're coming from.

Thankfully, I've found a couple of people I have a few things in common with at my church.

The only advice I have for you is to try to find some group, a club or something that you're intrested in, and join it. Maybe you can find someone there that you have at least a couple of things in common with. I hope I helped. Good luck.
