starting over?

Question

since HS ive had a big group of friends that is very diverse, not ethnicity-wise but personality-wise. We are so different, people noone would ever imagine would hang out with each other, theres the president of the Christian Club, an Atheist artist, theres the over achiever thats n every club, the slacker that disappears for months at a time, etc but somehow, we all got along perfectly and is able to stay close friends. within that group tho, we sometimes have our own little cliques, the ones that get along better with each other. My little group was perfect, i wasable to be exactly who i was and not be judged for it, we all talked crap and laughed, and, well we just had fun. After HS tho my little group within the group moved away, everyone moved to a different town and i was left here.

The thing is themore i hang out with the bigger grouip of friends the more we realize how much we dont understand each other. Now im being judged by these friends because our personalities are different and they see it as since its not the same as theirs then ots wrong.
What i wanted to do was move to another city, or state even, I dont have contact with my family so im not leaving anything behind. The question is, where is a good place to start? i plan to go to school and work, but its gonna be hardto find a job and an apartment without any help or money. Is this a good idea, to move and start over? if so, where would be a good place to start over? i live in such a small town right now that alot of people know each other somehow, and starting over here and making new friends here isnt even an option. if youve done this before, how did u do it, any advice?

Answer 1

You are basically planning on starting a new life...Which is always a slow and sometimes boring and lonely process. I started over in Chicago. You have to be willing to spend time alone and allow the process to progress at its own pace. You have to have a sense of employment opportunities, cost of living and future possibilities. Its probably best to have your future goals first and see what area best suits those goals. If, for example, you want an urban life in a university atmosphere find the area which seems to have these opportunities...List your goals and lifestyle desires and explore the possiblities. This could be an exciting time in your life...but dreams are created one step at a time.

Get student loans; go back to school and LEARN about yourself and personalities...It sounds that you might be the type to get into that!! Get some therapy yourself, if you can! Get into a career that intrigues you and this will take you to a more interesting group of people--who have moved ON past HS, AND are still interested in studying/discussing LIFE!! AND have fun together, too!
