Does anyone not like it here?

I don’t know if it’s just me, but something about FSU—the energy, the culture—feels off. Like, deeply off. Ever since I got here, I’ve felt more disconnected from myself, more judged, more... out of place. It’s like the moment I step off campus, I can breathe again. The second I leave Tallahassee, my mood lifts, my body relaxes, and I feel like a normal human being. But when I come back? It’s like the weight settles on my chest all over again.

I thought maybe I was imagining it at first, that I just needed to “adjust” or “put myself out there” more. But the more time passes, the more I realize—I just don’t like it here. And it’s not just the lack of things to do outside of drinking or the insular, drama-heavy culture. It’s something deeper.

I’ve never felt this much isolation and judgment in my life, like people are constantly sizing me up, looking for something to criticize. Yes, there are nice people, but I have run into the rudest, superficial, and judgmental people here I've met in my entire life. I have had several incidents where I am simply walking to class, minding my own business, when a group of people walks by, loudly snickers, and says something about me (my outfit, my facial expression, the fact that my socks aren't matching, literally anything) which makes me think, what the hell? Why do they care so much? We're literally adults, grow up. I've never had this much of a problem visiting other college campuses.

I don’t even feel like me anymore. And the weirdest part? I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’ve met other people who have said, in hushed tones, that FSU just doesn’t sit right with them. But no one really talks about it, because on the surface, it’s supposed to be the time of our lives, right?

I’m not here to bash the school at all—in fact, I also know so many people who have had wonderful experiences here, made great memories, and I'm happy for them. I just want to know: Am I alone in this? Does anyone else feel like they just don’t click with FSU, no matter how hard they try?
