Life now

[chipandcoal]

I went to the best private boarding schools.
It's not a boast. It's a fact. I don't think it served me well.
I have no friends and no real friends. I don't fit in with anyone. I speak too 'posh'. I know my parents did the best for me but now I'm alone and it's lonely.
Are there any others who feel the same way?.

Didn't want your post to be unanswered as everyone is busy with the dreaded C word

Just to say I didn't go to a school like yours, but there does seem to be huge amount of loneliness going on.

my ex dropped out of a school like yours and was lonely for a while but that was different. But his experience there was a very lonely one. If you enjoyed school, that's a plus.

I didn’t go to a school like yours, but I know what it’s like to be rejected due to an accent. I’m sorry you’re so lonely.
Where in life are you now? Did you go to university?

In all honesty OP having a 'posh' accent does put some people off, but if you are sure you don't give off vibes that you're stuck up, and expect the world to revolve around you, then I think you'll find that most people will give you a chance. Just be open to new experiences, go out in the world and join in activities that you enjoy, so that you meet people with similar interests, and show people that you are GENUINELY interested in THEM, then you will soon find that people relax around you, and just enjoy your company. As a matter of interest, how would you react if someone took the micky out of your accent? Would you look offended, or would you perhaps laugh, and make a joke out of it, something along the lines perhaps of 'yes this plum in my mouth cost my parents a fortune', to show that you know you have the posh accent but that you have a sense of humour about it. You often find for example, that fat people or people with a noticeable habit, a big nose, a twitch, a bald head, etc. make fun of themselves, as they know other people notice what they themselves consider to be their faults, so by making a joke out of them, it helps them to relax as well as putting others at their ease. Maybe if you could find some way of doing this, it would work for you, and make you seem more approachable?
