I'm hated because I'm different.

I am seen as weird and enthusiastic and a drama queen. Shall I act ignorant to make people like me?

oh wow!!!!!! just be yourself - we are all unique, and some more unique than others. We need people in the world who are different, to keep the wheels of life moving along an interesting path - stay true to yourself, because that's how you are as a person. You say people see you as weird, enthusiastic and a drama queen - maybe there's something you could do that would put you with people who are similar, therefore you can appreciate and understand one another? I don't know....maybe amateur dramatics?

Thanks, still being insulted though. No one sits next to me in class and I have been called a swear word quite recently and when I arrive at school every morning, someone has hidden my chair. Oh well, only another 6 years of school to go :(

i think stay as yourself and be yourself. ignore the people who dont like you and find your crowd who are similar to you. and hang out with 'like' people that you can relate with.

Thanks but do you know how I can find people like me because I've been to a number of clubs and made friends in other years but I don't have any friends in my year apart from someone who I see once a week but I don't properly get to speak to her (I'm captain of the rounders substitute team). I guess I should get to see her more and try to get back on with my friend in my form who was coaxed into being someone else's friend. :)

it is better to have one good close friend than bunch of associates, acquaintances and hypocrites friends. i am 43 but look in my 20s, and i get along better with people in their 20s. i feel out of place when i am around people my age. i have a youthful look. i meet different people everywhere i go, and if they are crap, i just ignore them and do my own thing...and concentrate on my own stuff...

Whatever may be the reasons but just be as u r always no matter what others think on it. It is worthy being oneself than copying and acting like others because then only u will be able to find out who ur real friends are and who are the flatterers and dog tailed people around u.

we need weird and enthustastic people in the world (being enthusiastic is probably why the think your weird). If you try to be something that you are not so that they will like you then they are not really liking YOU are they?

There are no two people in the world just alike. There will be somebody who hates you but just as many will like/love you. So don't worry about what people think or say. Just be yourself and it will all work out in the end. I am sure there are people who don't like me, but I don't worry myself about it. Please do not act ignorant to get people to like you. There will be people who would not like you ignorant either.

Well, when it comes down to what you decide to do you should make the final decisions based on what is best for you. But my advice is this, be yourself! It you are weird, crazy, cool, etc.. be those things! Be as extreme as you like, at least then you will know that the friends you have are really your friends! Sometimes it is easier to pretend you aren't yourself, but in the end it is better to go with your inner self. Do what you want and try not to care what other people think, that is really hard advice to remember, but it is good to always at least try and follow it. And even if you do care what people think, don't let it stop you from being you, because most likely, you are a much better person than anyone who wants to judge you or dislike you!

I'm used to being looked at differently. It's something that I've had to deal with my whole life. And it does suck. There's no reason to act ignorant because everyone else is. That will get you nowhere. Someone will like you because you have something different to offer. Never go to the dark side, lol.

Don't change or cover up who you really are if you are happy with yourself. You are responsible for who you are not the ones who don't like you. Who's to say you're wrong and they are right? Are you sure they don't like you? Maybe they envy you because they aren't like you. If we all had the same routines, likes, and personalities this would be a boring world.
