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
