Each person has its own unique character and personality. Character is the outside beauty which we see while Personality is the inside beauty of the person which we cannot see but perhaps we can feel of what he/she is. Character and personality are important for us to be with others and make friends. I have my own sets of friends since my college years, which of course I get along so well. We built our friendship for couple of years and shared moments through ups and downs. We do have same interest, though some activities are not. Now that we have our own lives away from our student years, we have to meet and mingle with new faces. I do not choose my friends. I welcome and embrace everyone to be part of me. But there's something that makes me different. I can not get along with them sometimes. I feel like there's a barrier between me and them. Maybe because I don't drink, smoke, go to discos and parties. This is just ME. I feel so indifferent when I'm with others. I tried to be with them, reaching out maybe in another way to make them feel I can still be one. I asked myself, is there something wrong with me? Do I have a personality problem which I couldn't see? Anyway I believe that this is Me, I do not need to please everybody. how abut you? Have you experienced something like an outcast?

It is difficult for someone who does not know you in person to answer the question of whether or not you have a personality problem. To me it just seems like you need new friends. School friends are friends of circumstance and now your life has changed. The friends you have like to do things that you do not participate in and sometimes having character and principles means that people will judge you.
