Title: feeling misunderstood
Post by: lucaluca on October 27, 2010, 01:17:14 PM
hey, in the last year a lot have happened. i began to become more and more who i am and this had an effect on my appearance. 2 month ago i moved into a big city and i was really excited, because i thought i would meet new, open minded people (the city where i live now has the image that it is really open minded). but i have the feeling that i am more misunderstood because of my appearance than in my old city. this is really getting me down. i am new at university and it's hard to get along with people. it's like the typically high school cliché... if you are just a little bit different you are the outsider.
well i just write this, because i don't feel very well and i hope that some of you know what i mean and talk about their experiences.

I've moved to different cities many times. I learnt, when I was very young, to take each one as I find it.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Starting a new life in a new town is a challenge.  Even though you may present yourself a certain way, others may not see you as you would like to be seen.  The best thing you can do is be yourself and interact with people.  Sometimes it takes a while to find acquaintances and friends who get to know you for you.  Again, keep engaging people in conversation and let yourself be known.  Hope that helps.  :)
