Well, to be put bluntly, I have trouble meeting new people and making friends (I'm assuming the two go hand in hand). I'm not really shy at all, so I don't think that's it. The problem, I've begun to deduce, is my personality. I asked one of my close friends about it and he admitted that I come off as a bit snobby sometimes - a kind of "know-it-all" snobby, not "I'm-better-than-you" snobby is how he put it.
Here's my problem: I don't want to sound snobby, I want to seem like a nice gal to make friends with. But I don't want to change who I am either - I like my personality. I can't quite comprehend what I'm doing that sounds stuck-up, but I can certainly see that my friend may be right. What can I do to be myself without sounding like a snob so that I can maybe make some new friends?

Well, good news: Your post doesn't sound snobbish. However, I would say think before you act or speak. That way you will be more cautious of what you say.

I have to agree on that. The know-it-all snobs usually have a habit of correcting every single error, no matter how small, which people can find very annoying. I know, I used to be a know-it-all snob. So when someone says something that you know is wong only in detail, don't correct it.
EX. of bad conversation.
A: They died out 60 million years ago, at the same time as the dinosaurs.
B: Actually the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, so either thos creatures died out 65 million years ago, or they didn't die out at the same time as the dinosaurs.
EX. of good conversation.
A: They died out 60 million years ago, at the same time as the dinosaurs.
B: Oh, really? Do they know why?

Ohhh. I have that same problem. (Actually, it's more of a breaking-the-habit thing, and the fact that I'm too lazy to put that much effort into it.)
You actually sound quite nice from your post. I would be your friend. XDD
I suppose you should just try to restrain yourself from stating too much like that ..
Gah, I think I'm useless in this sort of stuff. o_o;;

omgz I have that same problem. -.-
My advice? Look for someone who likes your personality the way it is! I think you sound like a great girl, and alot like me...my boyfriend and I have this same problem, everyone thinks he's an egotistical little ********. But I love him for it ^-^ You need to find someone who loves what everyone else thinks is 'snobby'.

something you can do is watch people while you speak to them, if they give a negative reaction, say something like "that came out wrong, let me try to reword it" then they will know that at least you don't do that stuff on purpose, and its like you instantly get another chance for a first impression (if its the first time you meet them). and from your personals thread, you seem like a very nice girl, so its the other persons loss.

I know your pain sweatdrop
But that aside you should try to find someone with a good sence of humor. That way even if you do say somthing that makes you sound stuck-up then they won't take afence to it as easy or they will just make a joke of it

Same, most people seem to like me and enjoy my company once they get to know me but I have trouble meeting people and getting things started up.

well i had the same problem and i found out that my friends (i thought they were)but they came out to be very mean they weren't really my friends.....only because of they thought i was snobby but i didn't mean to be .so the next year after going to another school near by i when to the guidence conseloer anad it really helped she said it was good that i accepted that i was snobby and some sort of mean.i came to find a friend that likes me for me and that friend really helped she made me feel better so by the message you sound like a really nice person to me you just got to show other ppl that side of you.try and find something you both like and start up a conversation things will hopfully work out if you keep it up with being the best you can be!!!!!!!!
good luck

I have a similar problem. I don't really have a relationship, my group of friends and I are in the group of people that nobody knows your name. I don't want to sound desparate, even though that is how this post is coming out... redface
I want to change my personality, but I can't. I know its the fact that I'm strange that people don't like, but I can't help it. And I'll admit, I think I'm strange too.
