I feel like thinking makes me a more disagreeable character...

I go to a high school in Suwanee, Georgia, and I have been wanting to get out since my freshman year. Yea yea everyone says they either have loved or hated high school too, but my hatred has become so intense, I just distance myself from everyone else, literally. I constantly get the comment "chill out," which is frustrating because I LIKE to "chill." Smoking hookah and laying on the beach are my favorite things to do, and shoot, I am from the southern most part of California- I am the definition of chill. Thinking, overanalyzing, questioning, is something I always tend to do. Unfortunately, those characteristics are also the recipe for the nosy girl in high school. Obviously I don't go up to everyone's faces asking questions, I'm at least polite/respectful. But the thinking part has always led me to make a comment aloud if someone says something disagreeable. However, the vast majority will agree to the opposite side, and start petty drama, making rude and ignorant/awkward comments along the way. Everyone follows everyone in high school. Is it the same in the real world?

Perhaps they're not adapting to your character just as much as you aren't adjusting to theirs. High school is always tough because people tend to not really welcome a newcomer, and you being 'nosy' for them isn't helping anyhow. You do not need to blend in, but it's difficult to go through high school without friends all the same. I suggest you try to study them, and try to not react as fast, instead look how they respond to such an incident or comment. You can do this. Don't fret if you can't belong to the group that quickly, just try to trim down your comments.
