Try doing something. Join an activity or a club. No, not to meet like-minded people. Join something so you have something to accomplish, something so you can start thinking about things other than what other people think of you or about your problems. You have a lot going on and to be honest, it's too much for you to handle. Take a vacation from your problems and focus on something else. Set a goal.

Don't worry about them. I know that you're like that $h!T is not going to work. But they'll only get worse if they actually discover that you care. Treat them the way they are, which is really that they're not worth your precious time. And if they're not worth your time, darling, don't spend your time and energies focusing on them when you could be focusing on something else that's much more important in your life. You sound like a busy person, so don't let them get to you. Just because they are insecure and are not content with who they are does not mean that you have to stoop to their level or join the flock in any way, shape or form. You're better than that. Hope I was some help and have a lovely day.

If you "dress gothic", you'll get the gothic comments unfortunately. It's just how it goes. If you want to continue dressing how you do, ignore the comments and once they see you aren't bothered (even though you are), they will soon stop.
It's all you can do to be honest, as I doubt you'd want to change how you look just to prove a point. Screw them and continue doing and dressing how you like.

If you aren't gothic, then why do you wear those clothes? Seriously. If you want people to think differently of you, change. Wear preppier clothes. Nothing is wrong with that. It doesnt change who you are, you've said it yourself!

You'll notice a definate change in how people look at you, approach you, and talk to you.
Trust me ;)
