I am such a positive and loving person very liberal and accepting. The problem is I am constantly around people who are nothing like that. They are constantly nagging, really ignorant and like to make fun of others. They are not like me at all I enjoy pushing the envelope,out with the old in with the new, equality for everyone, and I hope when I am older to make the world a better place. I am afraid to tell people all of my views sometimes I talk to them about politics but not all of my views and opinions because they might find it weird and offputting. I am from a mainly carribean/ middle eastern community in which basically all of my friends, family, & neighbors have views that are usually conservative and quite old and ignorant. This makes me sad because in this particular case I am nothing like them I have the views of the generation i was born in not of my parents, grandparents family members etc. What can I do it really put me down and is very draining?
