It's not for want of trying that I've not got along with people. It just seems that all a lot of people my age want is instant pleasure. They don't want to think of anything beyond the next 5min, and they certainly don't appreciate anything outside their own narrow little mindset, and certainly not anything that I would enjoy.
I've had friends with VERY differing interests to my own, and the main thing was that we could respect, appreciate and consider each other's opinions and ideas. We could actually have something approaching a conversation, and this is why we got on so well together.

Please?), but you'll be far more fulfilled even at the prospect of connecting with someone on your level, than dumbing yourself down for the sake of a connection that really doesn't mean anything to you.
I think you should worry less about you not relating to most other chicks, and more about them not relating to you.

It matters because the people who are close to me (mostly family) are really beginning to question my mind and whether I'm actually 'all there' or whether I have some serious emotional/mental disability.
Also, I love you!!!

If there are older people with who you enjoy spending time with, don't let the opinions of others, who clearly don't have your best interests at heart, dictate whether or not you find friendship...no matter the age.  |
Sometimes I think I'm a 52-yr old guy in a 22-yr old girl's body...
