I detest having to vent my insecurities onto public domain, but I wonder if hearing the opinions of others might give me some insight into my own situation. I have always felt different from everyone else, and I've never exactly understood why. I mean I do have friends and I tend to enjoy spending time with maybe one or two of them every so often, but I prefer being alone most of the time. I doubt I have have very much in common with other people my age. My interests are primarily centered around sciences and humanities, whereas my peers appear to be more preoccupied with their social lives. Speaking of which, I have never been one to enjoy social gatherings; I actually prefer to be on my computer reading news articles and Wikipedia entries. My casual style is a typical pair of jeans and a sweater or T-shirt, but I dress up much more often than most people (at least a few times in a month). A question I posted previously should give some insight into this:

I admit that I have a tendency to reflect on things very deeply, and I am prone to over-analyze the comments and gestures of other people. So perhaps I am simply sensitive to my environment for no particular reason. I still don't understand how the general population at my school thrives on socialization, yet I am content with only limited interaction. I am 17 years old and I only have a limited number of friends.
