Well, since the world won't change and the world is, presumably,
accepting other people, it must be something about you. And it
can't be something about your core being, as it is virtually
guaranteed that people would accept you if you were your "ideal
self" at this point in time.

Perhaps you need to work on something, but I have no idea what
it is. You could work on your self-confidence,
body language, showing appreciation for other people (or learning
to discover this), acknowleging other's point-of-view, or literally
one of hundreds of things. It's all just behavior and beliefs, all
of which can change. Just figure out why they aren't accepting you
and ask yourself if it would be a good thing to change that.

Make sure what you are changing is the right thing. Ask yourself
if other people with that thing are accepted. For instance, if you
are overweight it can't be that -- there are overweight people that
are accepted. If you are nerdy it can't be that -- there are nerdy
people that are accepted. It has to be something unique to you
that prevents you from being accepted.

It is also quite possible that they are accepting you, but you just
don't know how to recognize this. That can be changed, too.
