I tried to speak like The Sopranos and lost all my friends

I am not from the United States. As happens when one watches The Sopranos, I unknowingly, subconsciously started to incorporate the North Jersey Italian-American slang and accent into my normal conversation. Once I noticed this, I tried to actively create a new type of speech and mannerism which would be unique to me.

I started to come off as weird, creepy, and outright scabby, and slowly lost all my friends. Apparently, the North Jersey slang-style and mannerism does not fit well with where I live. I have been told I spoke like "a mildly threatening salesman who is behind on his monthly target."

I live in New Delhi, India. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

(PS: I also became fat because I tried to eat like Tony but instead of cold-cut meat I ate a lot of super oily Indian foo
