Huh? What are you trying to say? :/ Sorry I was deliberately being an azzhole. I feel the same way you do. But, I stopped caring a long time ago. I never did fit in with other people, and I was never anyone's idea of what a human should be. So, fuck 'em and forget 'em. I'm loving the life I was given, I'm gifted and have traits that make me unique. And I love being who I am, and that's all that really matters. And I kind of like the fact that I get under other people's skin just by existing. It kind of gives me a greater purpose.
Don't have autism (at least, I don't think so ๐), but yeah, I rarely fit into crowds as well. The funny thing is, people usually like me (I'm kinda the clown of the party, but that's just who I am), but I rarely like them. I don't avoid contact, at all, but if, let's say, I exchange numbers with someone, chances are I won't call you. I just feel like I don't belong in that particular crowd... don't know why, I just fell that.
