advice

I grew up in SouthWest Ohio and I definatley talk/express myself like a true Ohioan with all the "please?, queer, sucker, gymshoes, pop", etc. One problem... I live in New Jersey now. I moved in Jan 07. People here are mean/self-centered/rude and just not friendly & take themselves wayyy too seriously.. I'm a very outgoing and friendly person but I feel like I can't talk to people here because they'll either look at me like "excuse me, do I know you?" or make fun of the way I talk. I like to joke around and have fun [without making fun of other people] and I can't seem to find anyone cool like that. I've tried being quiet and wearing what everyone else wears but it's boring.
I'm a great friend to have but people only want shallow friendships where they don't really give a damn about what happens to their friends as long as as they are still happy.
Any idea on how to get through this? I'd really like to be my friendly self again...

PS, I'm 16/female, incomming Junior.

im sorry. i know that can be hard to go through. but just remember to always be yourself, no matter what.

you shouldn't have to change your attitude, your personality, or even your clothes so that you will fit in.

you said you would like to be your friendly self again.. do it! do you really want a friend who only likes you because you are exactly like everyone else?

it may take a lot of searching, but you will find genuine people who will like you for who you are.

i know that its hard. but don't give up. you will find some good friends, i promise. you may even find someone in the same position as you.. but you won't be able to do that if you are acting like everyone else and trying to fit in with them.

do your own thing. don't worry about what other people think. you could be an example to others.

hope i could help!
