People often describe me as 'extremely weird', 'mentally atypical,' 'like an alien studying how humans work,' but I genuinely feel so normal from the inside. I feel like this is the obvious, default way to be and I'm continually confused why everyone else is so different from me.

It's frequent, subtle little corrections, like I'm a bowling ball thrown by a toddler and hitting the side bumpers over and over again; I say something I think is normal and someone *freaks* out and Im like oh yeah riiiight that's not a normal thing to say I guess?

Or I ask a q I think is interesting and ppl think I must be doing it cause I'm... bad or something, but it's subtle, and they're like o yea aella? i blocked her cause i dont like her edginess.
But for me its like, *what* edginess? Oh yeah right I guess to the world I am edgy?

and i mean like the bowling ball i am getting corrected into the middle, I have learned a lot about what the world thinks is normal and what's weird, and I am pretty good at predicting it, but it doesn't feel *intuitive*, I have to pay it conscious attention.

Do you resonate at all with the character Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager?

The question becomes: who is truly sane, them or I? If the life I live is insanity, I never want to be sane. Recommendation: read Zen and the Art.

That makes perfect sense to me. I feel the same way and I’m not as analytical as you.
