I saw your post and the title caught my attention straightaway. I have to tell you that I can relate to pretty much every gripe you've made and I totally understand your pain. I have a few friends, I guess, but only one that cares enough to contact me on a regular basis, and she's supposed to be moving away in August (which is why I'm on here looking for possible new friends, lol). I, too, thought somebody up in Heaven must've mixed up the paperwork on me, because I just do NOT relate to about 90% of humanity in this day and age. I thought I was meant for another time/era like yourself. Even if I can coerce friends to go out with me, it's almost awkward how much we don't have in common. Even to the point where I'll start to question in my head, why I'm even friends with this person, hehe. Which I'm sure you can understand. But I'd just like to encourage you to not give up on people. The reason they probably back away from you when you become yourself, is because you're an honest person that prefers straigh-talk. Most people today are bouncing around from their cell-phone selfies to starbucks to their subconscious self-graciousness. It's a world of unique and special snowflakes that NEED to identify themselves with some sort of social grouping, and somebody that's straigh-forward and no non-sense like yourself, is threatening to them, because it challenges their lifestyle and world perspective. But rest assured, there is nothing wrong with you (or me), but it's really just the rest of the world that is under some sort of MK Ultra self-indulgent soap-opera hollywood incantation. Don't stop being yourself and don't give up on the rat race. Stay strong.
