I don't want to have an ignorant life, and live for emotions. People live to experience emotions, but no, I'm not like that, right?
This....concept/belief/idk-what-to-call-it has led me to look for something, anything that separates me from humans.
It...... disgusts..... me that people can live their lives ignorant that its pointless except for experiencing emotions......
This has also led me to often believe, or want to believe, that I'm not part of the human race. If people at the age of 60 are still oblivious of this, then how can I, being a teenager, acknowledge this?
No one I know sees life like this, my friends are too busy thinking about trivial matters, my family says that "You live to find love and happiness" or such jabberwocky. Find love? Why try? Life is mostly garbage, why stay in it just for those 3 seconds of being rewarded?
The only problem, is that part of me doesn't care about the logical side, it just wants to experience these damned emotions!
I can't, not me too.
I don't know how to cope with this internal conflict.

Okay, so you don't want to live life with the purpose of finding love and happiness. Okay, that's fine. Live life with a purpose you choose, simply having a different purpose and your own goals and desires in life sets you apart from other people.
I feel, and you don't have to listen to me, that when people struggle with the internal conflict of wanting something different; different to other people, different life, different goals - the ultimate reason is mostly due to being unhappy with the current situation. If that's the case, change it. If you want to be different, then be different.
I do understand what you're saying though, I'm similar. You should just try to assess what it is you want exactly and then strive for that.
