if people don't bother to start a friendship with you for no reason, even with you being nice, why should you?!
Me... I think I will became a grumpy old man, because when I was a teenager I would make friends with just anyone... never even care to call anyone to go out because I was shure that if I didn't find anyone I knew, I would know someone...
But now I almoust hate knowing new people... well... not always, but only when that new person have something interesting to talk about in the first minutes... if they start asking me the same lame old questions or talk about the same old thing... I give some excuse to go away... and I always stay with a angry face in banks lines or stuff like that, so ppl won't start talking to me =P
For the first few months of college I sat in a corner in a massive black coat and ignored everybody. I liked that people thought I was weird and didn't speak to me. I did well in my lessons too.
Then I made friends, changed courses 10 times, then got thrown out for getting wasted constantly and never actually going to college.
Then I got into university through clearing. I got thrown out after a year.
I would have been better off staying friends with the ones I had outside of college then I wouldn't have been so distracted. It wasn't the fault of my friends it was mine, but I'd probably be better off than I am now.
I don't regret a thing though. Fun times.
Do what you think is right. If you don't want to make friends with a bunch of pricks, don't. If they turn out to be nice people, make friends with them, or let them makes friends with you.
Just don't worry about it, as that will effect your education. Tell your Dad that. He might lay off x
a) your friends are not losers, shiet that hurts.
b) your dad is a popular kind of dude
so
c) shut up and don't worry about the assholes at school. Some people are very kind, however, the general westmount masses are of a special breed.
If anything, not getting into a dramatic crowd probably helps your education, more time for school and other such priorities.
i agree with you as well. sometimes its hard to identify or make friends with your peers cause there's the whole thing about being in a competition...or whatever...
yeah school was never about that for me either. Hell I only ever made one friend, granted she's one of my closest, that really didn't happen until after I was out of school.
i am having the same problem at work.. i am nice but everyone just hates me... they think i am an angry person or something
