Personally, I don't have an ounce of empathy for the "normal" people who make up the vast majority of modern society. Those who have to follow every trend, follow the rules without question, are quick to judge and hurt those who aren't like them (eg those with mental illnesses), cannot think for themselves or have an open mind, and have to mindlessly believe everything they're told.

"Normies" as I call them are subhuman in my mind and don't deserve an ounce of compassion or empathy from people like us unless they put in the effort to change on their end.

The best advice I can give you? Don't try to change to fit in. Stand out and attract like minded people. Befriend these people and cherish them more than gold. Life will be more lonely but ultimately you will be happier in the long run.

It's ultimately more rewarding to be loved and accepted by a small tight knit group of like minded friends that you can be yourself around without fear of judgement versus a large amount of "friends" that you have to constantly wear a mask and hide things about yourself from out of fear of being judged or outcast.
