About nine years ago I went to college to get Website Design certificate. I also wanted to make a few friends while I was there. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. When I first started going to college I saw many people I knew from my high school. Most of them seemed friendly to me. This one guy who was into computers would sometimes sit down and talk with me for a while. Sometimes people would invite me to eat at their tables in the meal halls and we would hang out until we were done eating.
The longer I was at this college the more aggressive people became. The people who were staying in the room above my dorm were very rude people and would often times give me a hard time for no reason at all. They had it in their minds that I was some kind of a bad and crazy person and started several rumors around the college that made me look bad. I could sometimes hear them hollering insults at me from their room.
The neighbors I had living next to me were just as bad. One of the boys living in that room seemed very unhappy with me and even accused me of using and stealing some of his things. They also noticed a bad smell coming from the floor of their room and assumed I might have been smoking something in my room. I later figured out that the smell was coming from the gasses that were in the sewers. I only had to put up with those two until they finished college and left.
The next semester I had new neighbors. One boy used to go to school with me and he was one of the few people who was still nice to me. I guess the false rumors did not faze him much. I also had a new roommate who was an older man coming back to college to improve his mechanical skills. The new neighbors starting going out and drinking every Friday or Saturday night and would come back to the college about four in the morning and start pounding on the doors and walls. My roommate did not like this at all and eventually began calling security on them but security never did anything about them. The neighbors would sometimes hear him calling security and would plan another loud prank the next night.
As I walked through the halls of the college none of the people I knew in school wanted anything to do with me and would usually try to avoid me in I spoke to them. Sometimes they would insult me as I walked by them but I would usually ignore them.
At the end of the second semester the crazy neighbors dropped out of college and left a note on the bathroom mirror thanking us for being such terrible neighbors. My roommate was very angry about this and turned the not into security but there was nothing they could do about it now. I was dreading coming back the next semester and having two more unpleasant neighbors.
I started my third and last semester at college and soon met my new neighbors. They were actually nice and friendly unlike the other neighbors. I never had any problems with them. The neighbors living in the room above me continued insulting me and spreading ugly rumors about me.
Near the end of the semester I was walking from my dorm to my mailbox and there was my former computer buddy hanging out with his friends in a meal hall. This boy I never even saw before started making threats to me and it looked like he was crying about something. My computer friend said I was a bad person. I did not want any trouble so I kept walking to my mailbox and nobody got hurt.
I began to think that my computer friend was one of the people in the room above my room and that he was helping people make up these rumors. I complete my algebra class and realized I would not have enough time to work on my other classes because of how long it took me to complete the math class. I dropped out of college and went home. It was nice not have to be around all those rude people.
Even after I dropped out of college I still would encounter some of those people from the college that did not like me. The owner of the town grocery store sold his store and somebody from out of town bought it and cut everyone’s pay in half. Most of the employees quit and the new owner hired his other employees to take their places with full pay. Many of the new employees were from the college I used to go to and some were the rude people who mistreated me. They were still angry with me because of the rumors they started at the college. Here it was five years later and they were still giving me a hard time.
Then a couple of years ago My computer friend sent me a friend request on Facebook and I accepted it. He waited a few months and then hacked into my Facebook account and posted an insult, in my name, about one of my friends I had been hanging out with. My friend found out about this before I saw the post and was so offended he did not want anything else to do with me because he thought I posted this. I had to go in and delete the post before it misled anyone else.
I have been trying to figure out for years why the people from the college did to me what they did. I never did anything to them. They never did tell me what they were saying about me or why they disliked me so much.
Does anyone else have trouble making friends in college or school?
