I think that everyone probably goes through a time in their life they feel they don’t fit in at all. I have always been one of those people. I never wanted to do what everyone else was doing. While other kids were out playing hide and seek I was home watching cartoons and soap operas. When all the other kids were having sleepovers, I was sleeping in my own bed like the dead. When others were experiencing their first love, I was being “one of the guys” just as loud and crazy as my male friends. When girls were putting makeup on and painting their nails, I was screaming “this is Sparta” with my friends on teamspeak. When all the other people my age were out partying and drinking I was in my room looking at Chinese/Korean dramas and watching anime.
I’ve never fit in with people my age and for many years it bothered me but it reached a point I didn’t care. I’m not like everyone else and I never will. I won’t be a sheep following what everyone else does. I’ll follow my own path in life and do the things I love and not what’s expected of me.
When people look at me puzzled over why I spent a whole weekend home instead of being out and about it doesn’t bother me anymore. When I see other my age at clubs and bars with their friends, I don’t wish I was them because frankly I find clubbing and drinking boring.
It’s ok to not fit in. We are all unique and amazing the way we are. There’s no shame in being home all the time because that’s your happy place. There’s no same in being like an old person. There’s no shame in being YOU.
