Do you feel different from most people? Why do you feel that way?

SW-User

Yes.
I am not quite sure. I seem to feel things deeply, and I seem to think fairly differently. But I always feel like I do not belong.

@HalfCactus: Your assessment is usually accurate, which is why I give weight to your opinions genuinely.

Yeah. I'm guessing it's due to a lifetime of social anxiety and lack of social experience and social skills.

I don't "mesh" or "click" with 99.99% of people.

Might as well have taken a page out of my book. Fortunately, social skills are like most other skills and you get better at it with time. I'm light years ahead of where I was a few years ago. Talking to others on sites like this one helped a lot

I think most people around me, yes. I live in Southeast Asia but I am quite Westernised in my way of thinking. It's not easy to find like-minded people around me.

@HalfCactus: it has... I have never felt more in tune with myself before. I'm glad you've found a way to express yourself :)

Because I am not most people.

Yes, I do. I don't allow myself to be pacified; instead, I torture myself with cynicism and emotional exhaustion, self-defeat. I am too concerned with things I have no control over. I am going against the tide in just about everything I do and don't do.
