Hey there,
I can honestly relate to your text, not only the stuck in a good book part

I don't know if this may be a help for you, but you're NOT odd! I can only tell you my experiences..

I've been rather struggling with this topic in the past because I just thought I'm a weirdo and don't fit in with anybody in my daily life.

My time in school has often been very hard, as I felt left out because everyone else was very loud. It appeared to me that only the noisy people are worth listening to and quiet people are boring and shy. Made me feel scared of school, I didn't want to go there anymore.
Anyway this is definitely not the case! I've met so many different kinds of people and the ones that *appeared* silent actually were very interesting.

What helps me personally dealing with (especially loud) people in my daily life is very thought and attitude based. I know I don't have to marry them for God's sake. I don't have to meet them in my free time, it's perfectly fine if we are just nice and polite to each other. A book is always in my bag so I can just disengage if I need to.

Don't let this pull you down, as I guess you must have a strong personality! Sorry this has gotten a bit long ^^
