I lived in the ‘burbs. Grew up in north Jersey. It amazes me how the english language is butchered in the rest of the country

I grew up in NY and worked in the Bronx for years. Definatly large Spanish community and a bit rough. Why did you move there ? Where did you move from ?
You should consider relocating. Especially if you don't feel comfortable.

Hm. Wonder if it’s possible you’re actually looking at people weird, so getting similar looks in response…

No, where I am 90%+ are white. I'm from a small town, I would not fit in to NY even if everyone was white.

I can imagine some days you nay feel uncomfortable, but on the other hand everyone will notice you.

I dont feel uncomfortable. Just joking about out of place to a degree

Lol. It can be a vicious circle though can’t it; if you’re expecting people to be looking and thinking you’re a sore thumb, you’re gonna be looking at them weird
Maybe they’re looking because you’re hot, or because you’re staring, or maybe they’re not even looking lol

Do you not know a lot of people in your area? Feelings of isolation can trick your brain into thinking you stand out more. Or your 'vibe' of feeling isolated is projecting and those around you are picking up on that. Regardless, here's hoping it gets better for you. And remember everyone, sympathy and empathy are free.

I love pidgin English of all kinds, human creativity. Change is the only constant!
