If you like looking different then that is cool if you are happy with the response you get from other people! Its just that society will judge on first impressios, maybe not how it should be but just how it is.
You said earlier that you dressed like this because you wanted to fit in with other people that's why I brought it up!
People can't get to know you if you won't let them and from what you have wrote it seems that you are still trying to find out who you are.
I personally do try not to judge anyone I anyway and I have all types f friends with different beliefs and backgrounds,but there is one thing we all have in common, we all want to make/spend the time being friends just as ourselves,
You have to be happy in your own skin-whatever skin that is, and when you are happy then other people can see that.
I was a very troubled child- I rebelled in many wasys did all the piercings and tattoos and all kindsa stuff, but from my expierience now it was because I didn't fit in and I tried to be whatever other people wanted me to be-I Wasn't HAPPY.
I am all grown up! Ha ha,I still love the tattoos and the piercings they are a form f art and they are part of me, but I know who I am now and I don't think that the world id against me anymore,
I'm not sure this helps but just waned to share this with you.
Sometimes when we think we are alone we just don't see the people that are out there waiting for us!

Hi,
From your description of yourself, you sound like there is a creative person just waiting to find some direction. I'm in school and I like to take my break near the drama department. There are some really colorful characters. They are very expressive, emotional and "dramatic". I watch as they perform for each other and passers by. Have you thought about something like this? You would be with like minded people and you would develop acting skills. You mention feeling that you are obnoxious etc. Well, you would learn skills to control your "inner actress" and better understand how to bring out these expressive, passionate sides of your personality in a way that would work to your advantage. "Life is a stage" after all.

You sound wonderful to me. You just need to find your niche. You are a singer? Take a class. You never know where it will lead and you'll make lots of friends... just like you. You feel scattered? School is perfect for this. Teachers know how to help students get on the right path. They will give you great options and mentor you.

Don't get discouraged. Seek out groups where you feel understood and appreciated. You will make your greatest contribution there.

Good luck! :)
