Fitting In Uni/Work

I come from quite a well off area nothing special really. But I'm use to being around well educated and well spoken people. But Ive started a University course in quite a not so well off area. Im from Chigwell in essex but work and study in East london in an area called Stratford.

I dont know if its me. Or my background. But Im finding it hard to fit into my new course and workplace. Most of the people talk in a kind of slang ghetto accent and alot different to the people I'm use. I find many to be quite rude they way they talk also. And I find it hard to relate to people here. I actually feel that I dont fit in and that Im the odd one out. I wouldnt say Im ultr posh or anything like that. But I feel more comfortable in the area im in.

Is this normal or should I be able to fit into this new enviroment? Maybe I think maybe it got nothing to do with my background and that I just need to try harder??

It's about time you entered the real world! lol

Take it as an opportunity to learn a bunch of new stuff about life and people in addition to your course. Broaden your horizons - it's what university is meant to be for.

well I am trying my best. But there are times when i feel like an outsider.I mean I seem to be able and get on more with white people. Maybe because I was raised in white area. Im not with the slang and all this kinda wagwan1 stuff.

but maybe thats because im getting older. My main problem is getting on with black people. I just dont find I have anything in common with these people and then there are those asians who act like black people and become their poodles. which I dont like.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
