I often feel like I don't fit in. I have always been very different and I am for various reasons. I have a very high IQ, I'm empathic and intuitive. Creative and eccentric. The way I think, analyze, and have these what I like to call thought experiments or even social experiments I've done. I often seem strange to others. My level of thinking and perception is so different that even therapists said I've blown them away and I am far more insightful and perceptive than they are. It's very hard being in a world where your mind works differently. It's hard to connect to people and make friends. I have social anxiety myself. I wouldn't say I always have the best social skills. I would define myself as dorky and awkward, to be honest.

I've had a lot of bad experiences with people so I usually keep to myself. I'm what is called an introvert (who does have an extroverted side when my energy levels are higher). I'm so quiet sometimes, that people forget I'm even present. It's so hard to come out of my shell.

I guess what I'm saying, even though things are different for me, I relate to what you're saying.
