I just turned 22 and still haven't figured out what normal is. All my life I have been socially awkward and have never had that many friends. I have never had any of the same interests as my peers. I have a hard time relating to other people. I have always felt isolated and like an oddball. I don't understand how relationships work and I feel all alone. I do enjoy being alone most of the time and not being bothered by other people, but at the same time I wish I had more people to hang out with. I am currently off from school for the summer and I don't know what to do with myself. I have a part-time job, but they don't give me very many hours. I have applied at several other places but have not heard back from any of them. I feel like life is passing me by and I don't know how to go about making things happen. My poor social skills make it hard for me to socialize and find jobs. I either never hear back from a job, and when I do I am usually rejected. Everyone expects me to be a certain way and expect things to come naturally to me as they do to other people. I feel like no one truly understands me and the challenges that I face.
