Kinda, was a skater for my first few years so I didn't make a good impression(In England being a skater means other students think you'r some sort of freak, did in my secondary school anyway). I was accepted, by alot of the non dickish people just didn't hang around with them outside school. Good thing really because the "cool" kids, have now pretty much thrown their lives down the toilet.
I guess I am now that I'm in uni, I usually go to the pub/drunken nights out with friends and meet new people. School was just a cruel place.

must... obey... poll's... instructions

alright, so i have voted no, because
1. i assumed it's most interesting if we are accepted in our own age group (mid-twenty in my case)
2. and i am not accepted by most (the "normal" people, that is). but: those normal (= the group with the biggest numbers) people around the city i live in and the surrounding area tend to be uneducated (that's not the same as stupid - i cannot imagine they're all dumb as bread), lazy/uninterested and asocial (i know it's a harsh word, and i chose it consciously) - you can easily observe that everywhere around here, sadly.
And well, i am not; i am interested in knowledge and learning, i love my job and could happily work all day (if the employer would let me
) and, compared to many early-twenties and mid-twenties here, i am considered rather "mature" - at least by people older (>30y) than me.
Oh, and i have bad habit of saying the truth - but that's a rather common characteristic of humans in general , and trying to get people to look at things from several angles. What is way too laborious for the masses here.
that makes me a BIG philanthropist towards these guys *cough* sarcasm *cough*
Many qualities many people don't like here.
And i am a freak (or so they say. but i don't believe freaks exist.)
But, those of a kind i do get along with (pretty well, actually) tend to be the more quiet ones, so they don't catch the eye as easily. So, maybe there actually is a bigger number of people who might accept me, if we'd meet each other.
Whatever.
Oh, well. Far more than nuff said xD

I'm usually not socially accepted. There are a number of reasons... first I'm not exactly the outgoing type to engage too many in a conversation. Being unwillingly to try and blend in with people adds to this (Non-conformist in some ways). Secondly my manner of speaking turns most people away, i.e. too extended of a vocabulary. Some say I come off as pessimistic and many people don't like it when I ask too many questions. I will fill my own head with ideas and be so bold as to say I'm a Socrates type of person. Third I think I plain look scary to talk to. Nothing intimidating, just nothing inviting. I tend to drift off in my own little realm of thought and it may displease certain people.
Overall though I could care less if I was accepted and have grown accustomed to my own sort of life style.

I am not. And I'm fine with this, but some of my closer family members and the few friends I have think this is a problem and bug me constantly.
I don't know. I've never really asked. The only people who openly acknowledge me are my friends, but it's not like I'm shunned or anything.
Actually, this sums up my situation almost exactly, except I talk to girls... Well, only two or three. Two of which are cousins and one of which I'm not interested in, so it ends similarly.ElephantGuts said:
I'm not socially accepted, but in a different way. Me and about 5 others are the only smart people in the whole damn school, everyone els is pants on head retarted. Thats the American School system for you.
I'm introverted by nature. It's not a big deal for me to be popular. I mean, I do get along with people. I'm not completely socially inept. But it's just not a priority for me.
