High School and the people in it.?

Question

Im 21 now and proudly in college.

To describe myself in highschool. I was very private, funny, str8 forward, serious when i had to be, shy if i wasnt by my friends, and dress decently and smelled like Axe body-spray. Id like to think i was good looking since i always got a "cute" compliment from women at the time.

As i think back. High school was a very different experience for me. I had my little crew of friends and such and i had some other i associated with, since in my mind and even til this day i can hang with anyone that atleast is honorable and sensible. With that i always felt different from everyone, i carried my own swagger and didnt gossip and act like everyone esle. I kept to myself abit of the time when i wasnt around my friends there. I had that cool unique demeanor that i get complimented for by people who actually know me and arent superficial.

People who didnt even know me called me weird or had some ****** up opinion of me wothout even knowing me and having justified reasoning for what they said. Even when i had to socialize with many of the guys who gave me a blank look, whether it be for a group project or whatever, they always seemed to give me drastic unapproval, but found things VERY funny when something even slightly embarrassing happened to me.

And others believed i was stupid because i was quiet and very shy and when i did speak back then in front of people when called on by the teacher, i stuttered abit, then probably translated into popular belief.

Its messed up, because even til this day, ill try and forget the past and talk to some of the people (via facebook) from high school and they dont even respond to me, or if they do they will talk to me normally but, eventually respond to me publicly (wall post) in a very condescending manner, so everyone can see. Or in one case this one guy found it great to be a jerk to me for no reason. and one time this one girl from middle school called me a weirdo for no reason when i asked her how she was doing.

when i got over my shyness abit and show my more outgoing side by 11th grade, alot of people in all grades still gave me that same stone face look, even when i was nice to them, and never responded or gave me any chance.

Ive been called weird and such by these people and they didnt even know me. i never stuck out too much in high school and hadnt done anything weird to receive this flack. what gives.

I was just my own person, how is that weird?

Why do i get all this treatment for, and im a nice person? whats up with this?

WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE AM I DEALING WITH HERE?

Answer 1

what about them? i don't want to read your life story . FOR **** SAKE!

Answer 2

normal people.  i think  u just had to do something drastic or be even more outgoing so u could change their opinions of u

Answer 3

thats wrong its wrong with many ppl and i think i have done this ( not talk to some one because of their looks or bcause of ppl they are affiliated with)  but some ppl just take it too far many misjudge a book by its cover dont feel bad about it.  it sucks for them because they missed out on you.

Answer 4

High school life doesn't define our real life. I think everyone have been judged on at least once in their life. The thing is, people will always judge you even when they don't know who you are. Don't let those people affect your life because they're not worth it. Why bother worrying over some people who don't even know you? & From my opinion, the people you're dealing with are plain ignorant.

Answer 5

your dealing with people

who are attention hungry, and think it's "cool" to

make fun of people.. don't worry its not your fault your fine

they are the ones that are fake its good to be different.

if someone is being mean to you then dont speak to them

their not worth the time and effort!

make new friends one's taht respect you...

and just be yourself ost importantly

who cares if they think your weird...

if someone was genuinly a good person a good friend

then they wouldnt care

your just human

unlike the fake one's

Answer 6

i'm not sure.

Answer 7

i kind of understand where your coming from because im 20 and in college now and when i was in high school i was mostly reserved unless i was around my friends and when i did start to open up people always shot me back down

i think the reason why people do this is because people in high school lable people too quickly and then dont give you a chance to show your true self..like if they lable you quiet or a wierdo they expect you to act that way all the time..now that im out of high school and in college i find its easier to show people who i really am because people are more accepting of others probably because we've matured as we get older

long story short..people in high school are insecure and immature and will lable people however they want..but once you get out of that you can be yourself and more people are accepting of it..hope that helped?

Answer 8

I think that many of these people saw how you could be yourself yet they couldn't so they were jealous of that.

Answer 9

its all society's fault

dont blame yourself

Answer 10

High School, man. Its all in those two words. Its where most people are either stepped on or step on others. You seem like one of the few normal people in High School, that had your own persona and didnt just follow the trends. As you get older and your friends are more mature, you'll come to see that people appreciate you for being you. So don't ever change, or you'll just become another lamb of society instead of a man.

Answer 11

Haha Iam in high school now a junior ...

People can be that way I guess it's cause they don't like anything or anyone that isn't into what they do ... You get what I mean ... but it's wat ever you shouldn't care what people think anyways ...

Cause most of the time people are just jelous of some of your assets and they choose to be mean. Just Jelousy and envey ya know ...

and the girl who said you where strange is a ***** cause you where trying to talk and .. she is just immature to act like that ...

Your dealing with people who are very immature and stubborn

it's best to leave them in the past .. if they treated you mean ...

Old habits die hard ... so what makes you think they changed ...?

If you are a good person thats all that matter :PP

Answer 12

what can anyone say?

people are just *** holes man, just deal, move on, be successful and then rub it in there faces later :) ... but not like it was important

don't let people judge you... your not the weird one.. judge them! the superficial a******s

Answer 13

you have an insight to yourself which is refreshing- you might consider a career in psychology..

I gnore people who are too ignorant or self absorbed to take consideration of your feelings- they will one day feel ignored and worthless and you can only hope that the people you care about, care about you.

Answer 14

too long

Answer 15

your dealing with the cool kid crowd who still have not grown out of their high school glory years and now work at in n out

Answer 16

You're dealing with a bunch of arrogant kids, don't worry, you will meet more of them.

Answer 17

The strangest (and yet sadly, most common) kind: humans.

People tend to naturally judge and overreact when they cannot comprehend, or at least sail parallel to the abnormal (in their eyes), or the unknown. You stayed to yourself, so they probably formulated their own ideas about you. Your quiet nature neither reaffirmed, nor doused any of their opinions, therefore, they were boundless.

It is this kind of person however, that will never cease I suppose. In the end, you are better off without them. See college as a new experience--a better one--leave them behind, and don't let what they've said or done, get in your way. They don't want anything to do with you--fine--they are entitled to that. But don't let their opinions influence your own. However cliche this sounds, if you are fine with who you are, and don't have problems with every person to look you in the eye, then what's the deal? Stray from the past familiar. You've probably changed some, and while they have too, it might not show through. You don't need that though, and you know that quite obviously. Move on with a focus not on what or who you were to others, but what you are now to the new faces. You're not in highschool anymore.

Answer 18

Some people just arent used to other people going out of their way to be nice they simply dont know how to react so they just make fun of the person or what not

Answer 19

People suck. Period. Especially high schoolers! But for real, you shouldn't care too much what people think of you. What you think of yourself matters most.

Answer 20

too much reading for me, so idk
