My biggest problem next to making friends is finding someone who's actually kind of like me. The reason why past friendships failed was because, yes, they accepted me and liked me, but the only reason I was friends with them was because I felt terribly alone and was willing to completely change my personality just to be with them because "Woah, someone actually wants to be friends with me". I played games with them, watched shows with them, talked about certain things, and it was cool... but none of it was anything that ever interested me. I faked liking those things. Of course, you can't always just do what you like, and I get that, but those friendships were very unbalanced. Whenever I showed something I liked nobody really cared and it quickly went back to conversation about something I didn't care for, and eventually I came to realise these people were just different than me and I became distant from them until now when I only really occasionally talk to just one and that's probably coming to an end soon, too.
Now, I'm only teenager, 15, but I feel like I'm too old or something. Not in a form of being smarter than others, I hate saying that I am, but, I dunno. I feel like the all big phenomenon's going around others don't reach me, the humour of others is too simple for me, I don't like the music anyone listens too, and I overall just have a very different view and opinion on things. As a result, I feel very isolated from people. And it's not that I'm not willing to look into their interests, or that I'm ******, I'm really open to new things, it's just that I really can't care for it, and I've yet to ever meet someone who cares for anything I like. Now, there's the internet, where you can meet all kinda of people by joining communities based upon your interests, and I've tried that, but then I have another problem: Everyone is older than me. I love a band, so I decided to join a forum over it. Everyone was in their 30's, and I felt really awkward. Is this a common problem? And what can you do about it?
