WHY ARE THERE SO MANY EVIL IDIOTS IN MY SCHOOL I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO BE IN CLASSES WITH THEM

you have not been to an american public school.

People are always people. Communication is how we come closer together.

Ask questions. If you don’t like the way someone treats you, ask them why they treated you that way. Make them reflect on their actions.

And I spent thirteen years in American public schools. From my experience, the best thing you can do (in any communicative scenario) is make yourself better understood.

oh I thought you lived in Britain, or did you move there once you became an adult?

Those people are purposefully annoying towards me, and I don’t want to join them considering how brain dead (for lack of a better term) they are, our interests are nearly opposite and they just don’t seem like good people. Maybe they are, but I already have good friends, and I don’t want to have to appeal to everyone at the expense of not being myself or have to deal with the process of getting them to stop being dicks to me

the sacrifices I would need to make in order to become friends with them would be too significant, they are significantly more extroverted than me and my personality heavily clashes with theirs’. My priorities are more of growing myself and having a smaller group of really good friends, much more than appealing to everyone and adapting to others.

I’m American, and I live here now. A few weeks ago, I spent a week in London on my way back from Bulgaria, where I lived for the last year, but that’s the extent of my time in Britain.

You don’t have to make friends with these guys, just help them understand your point of view. If they’re bothering you, let them know that.

No one wants to be evil, and if they knew you saw them that way, perhaps they’d reflect on their actions and make a change.

evil was a substitution for something along the lines of a-hole, also I think they actively want to bother me so telling them that would just be rewarding for them and they would probably do the fake sympathy/patronizing thing they always do. an example of this would be: standing up, waving, and saying “Hi <full name>“ in this totally fake way which they don’t do to anyone other than the people they want to annoy/single out. They do this to pretty much everyone in my general friend group too. I wish people thought compassionately and logically but sadly many don’t.
