This is typical for NTs in your age group. Most NTs are not secure enough nor mature enough to accept anyone who is "different" from their percieved view. We jostle their security enough that they feel the need to distance themselves. Their cruelty is their way of showing their peer group that they are "normal."

When you find those few persons who are mature enough and secure enough to accept you for who you are, rather than how they are afraid others might view them, make contact and cherish them as friends. Those are the worthy ones. Those who prove themselves unworthy aren't worth your effort.

I agree, this is very hard though. I have a hard time being friends with those that are different (at least those with more social issues than me), in fear of being made fun of more despite always having few friends.
