People are so fake sometimes, please help?

Question: sometimes i feel like i am very alone. I don't really have any friends at school and i wish i could meet people that aren't so caught up in the drama. Please give me any suggestios you may have on how i can meet people that aren't likely going to be catty and superficial.

Answers:
In your state of loneliness, I think you might be a little over-sensitive to other people's obnoxious tendencies.

To meet people like yourself you will need to tolerate some faults. Everyone has their little eccentricities. Sounds like you are a little shy. That could work for you and not against you. If your normal response to people is quiet and controlled then try re-inventing yourself as a really tolerant and logical person. You will draw compatible people to you.

Some people do the drama thing because they too are bored and lonely. Drama provides a relief and entertainment.

Reacting severely to the drama folks may be taken as drama itself--don't fall into this trap. Try to identify others who are not as responsive to these goings-on. Share a mild joke at the expense of the drama queen. No heavy burn, just a subtle crack to show your new friend your likes and dislikes without being overbearing about it. :)
Best of luck to you.
