I've had a tough time at school because i have always been different, but thankfully after a fulfilling and colourful time at university i feel alot better.
Luckily, in general i feel accepted for who i am and the fact that i have ADHD with hyperactivity is not something i worry about so much anymore. My university friends would not percieve me as a shy person, but quite outgoing, so it just shows how different social circles can change my mood.
However, when i am out of my comfort zone or meeting new people (usually outside of uni) i can get very stressed and can revert back to my previously shy and wimpering self. 
I'm scared that people will be unfriendly, judgemental and bitchy.
This is something i have experienced both inside and outside of school and unfortunately still happens.
Obviously, i do try and avoid those types of people, but i am not always optimistic and can find it hard when i come back to my home town where i don't have many friends. 
What's the best way to meet nice, friendly, laidback people?
I am aware that is partly psychological, but can someone share a similar experience or maybe suggest a solution?
Thanks guys
