Am I weird?
I don't know where exactly to start.
I'm a guy, I'm 17, and I'm 18 in a couple of months. and I have kind of friends and acquaintances, but they're all very self-centered, which they don't deny themselves, and any topic of my sadness turns into how bad they feel. To be honest, I'm not even angry, maybe sad, but not angry. however, I am tormented by another feeling of loneliness, not in their direct actions or deeds, but in the complete lack of contact. No matter how much we talk (I've been friends with one friend for 7-8 years), they still don't understand me at all. neither my actions, nor my character, nor my interests. I'm one of those people who likes, I think, to give myself to something completely. for example, in the knowledge of drawing, I don't want to exalt myself or say that I'm better, I'm just interested in it from the point of view of professionals with their heavy schemes, long training and other goals. not for the sake of social media promotion, and not for the sake of drawing from idleness, like painting some kind of garbage. It's a serious academic and theoretical animation base. but everyone thinks I'm boring and boring. no one shares my interests in my country or among my friends, although this is something basic fandom, for example; Scooby Doo, Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Breakfast Club, American Pie, Elena of Avalor, red hot chilli papers, rdr2, Wolfquest, tangled the series. It's not all underground stuff, is it pop? but I have literally never seen anyone who would maintain a dialogue with me or share the same interests. am I as deeply alone in understanding the world as if, although I also consider my opinion to be basic? I am very uncomfortable with any sexist statements towards women, I will always support politics, conversations about public issues, and so on. I don't care about LGBTQ+ communication, or radfem, let people do what they see fit after so many years of oppression. I love animals, walking, swimming, talking for a very long time and a lot.
I mostly talk about other people, or about my hobbies, trying to raise it as it may be of interest to a person. nevertheless, I am not a wimp and have my own moral standards and will resist, I do not agree if I do not like something, and I rarely change my position, I just do not condemn the other. I almost never lie (I really don't remember even once, but I won't be so bold in my statements), I always try to back up my words with facts, I love people, I want to have one beloved wife, a couple of children, whether relatives or not. and at the same time, I am faced with a strong misunderstanding by others and sighs, gasps and absolute disregard for my complaints, as if because I am a "normal normal person" my feelings and problems disappear. although to be honest, I have confirmed pstd, and before that I had severe depression. I was prescribed zoloft. I really don't understand, I don't understand why I don't fit in, why I annoy others, why? I have disadvantages, and a lot of them, just like any other person. for example, I am prone to shouting and aggression, although I try to restrain myself (no one has been complaining much lately), stubborn, a little on my own because over time I became ashamed to share my interests. So, my main question is, is there really something wrong with me? Am I weird? Maybe I'm conceited? or something else? of course, this can be poorly understood from one post, lol, but still.
P.S. you can ask any questions, try to clarify the situation and not believe everything that I wrote, it's okay
