I used to, but then I realized that if I tried too hard I wouldnt really be myself. I guess I will always be a weird loser forever:P

I've never had issues with it. I grew up in the minority in both race and culture. Most of the people around me either acted ghetto or redneck. I simply hung out with them all but never fit into their stereotypes.

only when i didn't open my mouth. When I talk, people listen, and then they're trying to fit in with me.

Not really. I actually never try to fit inside a group. Most of the time, people just end up talking to me.

I'm always that quiet person who makes no effort to fit in with the crowd.

Around the 12-14ish range, yes. Those were some uncomfortable years.

I am one of those quiet people who don't really want to fit in with everyone. I've made a small group of friends at school and I honestly don't want many more so I just avoid talking to a lot of people who I don't know. I have no trouble fitting in anywhere else though.

Not really. I guess it was the other way around. People that found me interesting often get ignored.:P

Just because you're not "fitting in" with one crowd doesn't mean you're an outcast. Maybe THEY are the ones who aren't fitting in with you!

I thought I had the problem so I put too much pressure on myself.

Now, if I don't fit into something, that's others' problem, not my own.

Well I used to like it that I wasnt able to fit in to my environment mostly because anyway most people around me didnt draw my attention and make me want to fit in so that I could approach them and be friends with them. And then I am kind of a lonely person.

But then when this goes on for years you finally change priorities because you are kinda forced.

I know I have trouble fitting in with some crowds. For instance, I'm in Germany right now and I was talking with a guy I work with about the people over hear. We have been into different pubs and restaurants all over Germany and unless those are in the hotel, very few people talk to you. If I'm here alone I can go an entire day without saying one word to anyone except to order food and a drink. Not to mention the Germans very rarely smile at you, it's very isolating unless you have a fellow American to laugh with. On the other hand everyone in Africa wants to be your friend.

All the time. I fit in very easily when I'm comfortable in my environment, but unfortunately that seems to be an exceedingly rare occurrence.

It's true. I'll walk past people and smile and they return it with an exaggerated frown.

I moved with my family to New Zealand when I was about 10, and we lived in the bottom of the South Island. Racial stereotypes run rampant there. One of them even told me they hated me because I had a different accent :| Thank God I escaped that hell hole. No offense to anyone from that area. >_>

At school, all the time. Hell, I would be quiet but when people sat at a lunch table that I was at first, I'd get kicked out for not talking, so I ended up having to find another place to sit.

I don't really make much of an effort to fit in with crowds. Most of the time it isn't worth the effort. In high school I stayed away from the popular crowd because they were mainly drug addicts. In college it was so easy to get invited to parties. You didn't have to be a social butterfly to get invites. College students were just generally friendly.

I always fit in over time despite my anti-socialism. I'm not very trusting therefor I'm not very social with strangers.

Hmm I'm not sure, I hate giving recommendations. I was too young to really experience what it was like but school down South was horrible. We stayed in Auckland for a bit, which is one of the big cities. It seemed nice enough. Why not visit first? I was actually born in Auckland, but I don't really consider myself from New Zealand because I didn't even live there past my first birthday >_> I prefer to label myself as British which is what my parents are.

Maybe 2 or 3 times. 2 times I was around smart people who already knew each other in class. But then again I made a friend later. Then another time those people were just jerks so I never tried to fit in.

Hmm...kind of but not really. I'm ridiculously shy and introverted and I'm terrible with people I don't know, but somehow I keep making friends. I think it's because I get very involved in clubs and extracurriculars and whatnot that I really love, so I'm always surrounded by like-minded people.

Yeah, it takes me a little while to feel comfortable around people that I don't know. But once I get past the initial stages of awkwardness, then I'm good.

Same here, i do however feel uncomfortable around others some times. The people that don't like me tend to slap a generic label onto me but I could care less. Not everyone is going to like me that I meet.

When I first moved to the US and I didn't talk much, but later on I became more outgoing and talkative people usually responded in kind. I found that people in general treat you the same way you treat them...
