Hi Kaze-Kage
I can relate to most of what you write. I think that you should stick to being yourself. It's what we do best. There's nothing wrong with being weird, if that's really how other people see you. I find "weird" people much easier to talk to, since they're usually a lot more interesting and open (and I'm a little weird myself!) Be yourself and love yourself for who you are, and I'm sure that you'll start to feel more comfortable with yourself around other people. If other people can't accept it, that's their loss
And that's a lovely avatar by the way ^^
Thank you! ^^
That's exactly what I should do.. but its hard to do. XD I try to be myself most of the time, yet people still take the wrong idea about me. Also you're right, "weird" people tend to be a lot easier to talk to and open. Except, I wish I could be that way. It seems to me like everyone else has their own best friends, and I should've made one a long time ago.. as for now everyone has their own friends and I'm left out. You know what I mean?
Hehe, yeah I know how you feel. It's easy for me to give optimistic advice now, but I remember what it was like back in high-school. Like you said, everyone seem to have a best friend and a group to hang out with. It was like this for me since day one. Most people were probably friends since earlier years. All my old classmates went to different schools. I was alone. I knew no one. I only got to know one guy in my class. We became the outcasts. It wasn't much of a friendship either, since he had tons of friends outside class, and didn't seem too interested in me. I had zero close friends back then and I have zero close friends now, but I felt 10 times as lonely back then
Looking back at all that, I regret that I completely isolated myself like I did. Driven by fear of not fitting in. I tried to fit in the first year by pretending to be like everyone else, and it didn't work. Perhaps if I had tried more of a natural approach, being myself, accepting myself, then perhaps I wouldn't have been so afraid of speaking up. Perhaps my life wouldn't have been so lonely today. But it's too late to change that now ^^
