So.. been thinking about my lately. My story is not different. Feeling the odd person out my whole life, excelling in some subjects in school, finding others tedious and boring, therefore failing (😜). Learn things fast, and am usually good at adepting to changes (not in my personal-life though).But I suck at certain social skills, such as taking turn in conversations, when to stop talking about a certain subject (i.e when the point is made - ten times 😬).

I've always been labeled lazy and "undecided" by my family and relatives, being the "black-sheep". My mother doesn't understand me, my father never wanted me in the first place so he's never made an effort really getting to know me. My grandmother said I had my feet in the air. I've not gotten the best support in life. I didn't have many friends growing up, so I turned to books and music for company. When you spend a lot of time alone, studying people instead of joining in conversations..

It makes you bit aloof. I have a hard time understanding for one, so in conversations, I often have to interpret/listen between the lines to what others are saying. And It's exhausting.
