Why haven't your family done something about this bullying? If he is a cousin they ought to sort this out.
Just BE yourself at the new school.

Poor you. But good on you for trying to get something sorted.
I think the best advice when you start somewhere new, especially at a new school, is to take a back seat for the first few days/weeks. You don't want to come on too full on to begin with and it'd also give you a chance to suss everything and everyone out. It's hard to work out which crowd is best for you when you start at a new school, so try not to jump in anywhere. Show that you're keen and friendly, but don't try to take over.
This should help you start to get over your habits. It sounds like you were constantly trying too hard with your cousin, so not trying too much in your new school might make your habits less obvious. Remember as well that these people aren't bullying you and they're not your cousin. I reckon you'll be ok after a while because they'll treat you differently. Once you get into it and start to relax, I'm pretty sure your habits will come to a stop.
