I have a German name that no one could pronounce or spell correctly. In High School, I was made fun of for two years. When I reported it to my guidance counsellor twice, the taunting stopped for a while and then started up again. After graduation, I gave myself a nickname. It became so popular that most people who know me don't even know my real name!

People treat ou differently from what?
How do you know?
Or are you projecting on them what you expect to happen?
Life can become a self-fulfilling prophecy when you expect something, you act in such a way as to cause it to happen.
You might want to consult a counselour to check this out.
It really does often have to do with attitude. May sound like an odd concept, but over the years I have found it to be true.
Good luck.
