Cherryberry - Has anyone experienced this; either? Is it 'normal' to have a strong dislike of... [peers]...people and society? My counselor thinks it's probably a result of depression, but all my life I've never truly liked people, so it can't really be that, can it?

Chippermonkey - Did you have a rough childhood or did something traumatic happen to you when you were young? Have you experienced any sort of neglect?

Yes, I've experienced this. I never felt that I had anything in commmon with my peers and as a result was very awkward. I
did experience both neglect at home and trauma at the hands of my peers. Thus I was distrustful as well. Adults seemed safer and I soon came to enjoy the more intellectual conversation.
Well I am now an adult with adult peers. I still feel I don't have a lot in common with them. As a result I tend to still find making friends difficult. I tend to gravitate towards those well schooled in things like philosphy, politics, science, and history. Yes I'm a bit of an adult geek.
