I do not and never have had therapy but I just got my medical insurance and upon my cards arrival plan to get evaluated and given therapy or medication or simply the right direction to follow. I did spend three days in a acute treatment center where I talked to a therapist for about 15 minutes total in my time being there which ultimately made me seek out my flaws in a realistic and understandable way on my own which I don't think that is the right thing to do which is why I have refrained from self-diagnoses. I keep my work separate from the professionals.

These sound like some really challenging, and upsetting experiences. As for being a weirdo, well done for staying weird, and yeah, people make fun, I think usually because they're scared or threatened by things that challenge the social norms that make them feel safe. I know that it's hard to account for that, and not get defensive and take it personally.
What are the negative social traits that you display?...apart from neuroticism? It makes sense that you want to figure out how you're responsible for your suffering, and protect yourself from that, but not everyone will have similar goals or a similar world view to yourself. I know it hurts to have your ideas dismissed, but trying to prove yourself to people who really aren't too interested could (I think is likely to) actually create more of a divide. There are professionals out there (I am sure) who will take the time to understand and accept you, and really help you...whether you find someone like that, or not...hope so
