help! this is really uncomfortable!?

Question

at my school most of the day is spent in homeroom with your homeroom class. (all subjects escept for French, history, Science, and Music.) so i sit in a table of 4 that the teacher just moved/arranged. these 2 people expect every thing everyone else says has to meet their expectations, or else. they sort of squint and make a face that says, 'what the h***are you talking about??' when you say someting that they dont agree with. the other person in my group is one of my good friends (thanks, whoever arranged that. life is more bearable at school w her)

what are some tips and tricks i can use to make this more comfortable, so i can talk (with out people squinting and staring at me) like the chatterbox i am?

thanks! please be respectful with your answers!

Answer 1

You don't have to meet their expectations. Once people i went to school realized i didn't care what they thought about me the more they respected me however some people are just wrapped up in themselves and will never appreciate anyone. they're the ones who will end up alone someday.

I wouldn't say i was popular in high school but everyone knew me and knew that i wasn't there to please them and they weren't there to please me.

Nothing gets you respect like showing confidence and self assurance.

Answer 2

Totally ignore what other people do and just get the day ending quick with some concentration. It's not like just talking will help you to not do that subject. Don't talk to them about things they don't understand. Don't hurt feelings or physically hurting someone - don't be too afraid of getting in trouble but don't do that because it wasn't nice in the first place, there wouldn't be any point in doing it. Don't be afraid to talk a little, either. But don't talk too silly, but talk about things. Don't be too serious, either. There might be something that is normal to talk about. Don't make faces (No, that will do no good)!

Good lucky duck!

Answer 3

I'm from the "Old School", so I'm more the type to just tell them off!...LOL
But...instead of trying to figure out the right things to say, why don't you just be one to sit back and listen? You would be surprised at things you can learn by just listening. You'll learn what they're interests are...who it is they like or don't like...any number of things. If they ask you something, just make it a short answer, like you don't care whether or not they include you in their talk or not. Ppl are always drawn to the silent ones...it never fails.
And don't get discouraged... it may take a while.
Good luck!

Answer 4

Ok. Imagine you're looking at a worm. Practice that look with your eyes wide open, in an innocent-looking stare. It works every time. If you have light-colored eyes (blue or green) you can give them an ice stare...those of us not so blessed have to resort to the 'euwww...what's on my shoe' look. You have to keep it subtle, so you're not called on it and have problems; but lifting one side of your upper lip, just a little, is as good as an open sneer, if the person you're looking at sees it, and you only have to do it for a second.

Answer 5

Don't place so much emphasis on their opinions/reactions. What does it really matter what they think anyway? 5 years down the road, how will you be affected by not meeting their approval? Be secure with who you are and don't base your self worth on other's opinions.

Answer 6

Totally ignore them. If you act upset, you will be giving them the reaction they are looking for. Or, you could give them a dose of their own medicine. Make faces when they speak.

Answer 7

don't let people like that get in your head. ignore them. 5 years from now are you going to be dwelling on what those people thought of that ONE thing you said on that ONE day...no.

concentrate on how much fun you have with your good friend sitting with you in class.

Answer 8

GIVE THEM A GOOD SHIN KICK THAT'LL GET THERE ATTENTION
