By _Asykes_ - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff

Today, I started a new school, after moving from England to New York. People only talked to me just to hear my accent. FML

I've experienced the same thing. It might be annoying at first OP but try to use it to your advantage to get to know people. You'll be thankful for your uniqueness down the road I promise!

At least people wanted to talk to you, plus do you know how many people find British accent sexy?

All dialects sound weird, if a New Yorker came down to Texas people would do the same thing and vice versa...

Just like here in the U.S. Regional accents vary, but you've got a great ice breaker. Take advantage & find new friends. Eventually, the novelty will wear off & you'll still have people talking to you.

My accent gets people, too. Maybe it's a Scouser thing, or just European in general.

It's a start. Be optimistic. I had a friend ask me if I talked to him only because of the accent. I told him that if I cared about that I'd just turn on BBC or watch The Avengers.

Welcome to America, where most of the people you meet will be complete assholes. Sorry, OP.
